In this paper, we propose a smart system for realtime tracking of airport luggage using mobile applications and smartwatches. We track using Kalman-filtered Wi-Fi fingerprints collected by active tags. Information about the flights and association with different luggage pieces is inputted pre-flight using QR codes. Our system uses a smart power management scheme fusing multi-sensor and flight data and assesses the risk of a battery drain to warn the user about the need for recharging. A mobile phone application is used to track the arrival of the luggage allowing passengers to rest after a long flight. We tested our proposed system's impact on the airport wireless network and the random occurrence of different travel delays on the tag energy and found it to be able to efficiently deliver real-time luggage tracking information right to passenger smartwatches.
