Automated Baggage Rules (ABR)

http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/stb/Pages/abr.aspx
 
The Board of Governors in June 2010 confirmed a new StB (Simplifying the Business) project: Automated Baggage Rules. An automated baggage rules solution will enable airlines to electronically file their own baggage allowance policies and charges to a centralized database to be developed by the Airline Tariff Publishing Company (ATPCO). This will reduce loss of revenues for airlines and lessen complexities for travel agents, check-in agents and interline partners, who will be able to correctly assess carrier baggage policies, and deliver consistent information to the passenger.
To be successful, the ATPCO solution needs to be embedded within reservations, pricing and ticketing systems as well as departure control systems.
