Abstract
Baggage handling systems (BHS), are complex and integrate systems hidden within an airport. In this thesis, a model is developed which can generate BHS concept design automatically. This means that the model defines the type and amount of equipment needed and is able to develop a 3D model that can be used for volume reservation. The model takes into account the stakeholders desires, operational preferences and the terminal shape and size and can therefore define the optimal solution for the stakeholders. By developing this model, a generalized design framework for material handling systems in general can be created,
