First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A consolidated transportation method of arranging a plurality of pieces of baggage in a same transportation area and performing transportation, a consolidation determination item being defined, a first piece of the baggage corresponding to an easily transferred baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a first transportation area and transported, a second piece of the baggage corresponding to a highly sensitive baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a second transportation area and transported, a first transporter including the first transportation area, a second transporter including the second transportation area, and the first transportation area and the second transportation area being physically separated. 2 . A consolidated transportation method of arranging a plurality of different lots in a same transportation area and performing transportation, each lot being composed of one or more pieces of baggage, a consolidation determination item being defined, a first lot including a piece of baggage corresponding to an easily transferred baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a first transportation area and transported, a second lot including a piece of the baggage corresponding to a highly sensitive baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a second transportation area and transported, a first transporter including the first transportation area, a second transporter including the second transportation area, and the first transportation area and the second transportation area being physically separated. 3 . A consolidation terminal enabling baggage transshipment between a plurality of transporters, a consolidation determination item being defined, a first piece of the baggage corresponding to an easily transferred baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a first transportation area and transported, a second piece of the baggage corresponding to a highly sensitive baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a second transportation area and transported, a first transporter including the first transportation area, a second transporter including the second transportation area, and baggage transshipment being performed so as to allow the first transportation area and the second transportation area to be physically separated. 4 . A consolidation terminal enabling transshipment in units of lots between a plurality of transporter, each lot being composed of one or more pieces of baggage, a consolidation determination item being defined, a first lot including a piece of baggage corresponding to an easily transferred baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a first transportation area and transported, a second lot including a piece of the baggage corresponding to a highly sensitive baggage item in the consolidation determination item being arranged in a second transportation area and transported, a first transporter including the first transportation area, a second transporter including the second transportation area, and baggage transshipment being performed so as to allow the first transportation area and the second transportation area to be physically separated.
