Vibration profiles: movement of packages at the airport

Researchers at US California Polytechnic State University analyzed the vibration characteristics of a component of the air package shipping environment which has not been previously studied or included in the pre-shipment testing of packages: the movement of packages between the aircraft after they are flown in to an airport-hub, or after being sorted as they are transferred back on to the aircraft. These transfers at airport-hubs are done using material handling equipment called “dollies” or carts.
The study provides new data on package handling and movement at airport facilities and tarmacs. An article about the research is published in the Journal of Applied Packaging Research.
