The controls should also run smoother and faster.
The airport is experimenting since the end of last year with the system when the transfer passengers and now is the time to scan a larger number of passengers test. Yet there is one checkpoint in terminal 3, so not everyone there will already benefit from.
“This scan should now really start to prove”, says Daan van Vroonhoven, senior manager of security policy at Schiphol airport. “If all goes well, we want the system at the end of next year, large-scale at the airport roll-out.”
save Time
amsterdam airport Schiphol is a world leader with the 3D-scan for hand luggage. At this moment there are similar experiments going on in Singapore and Lyon, but which are, according to Van Vroonhoven not yet in such an advanced stage.
Despite the fact that the scan in 3D takes a bit longer, especially at the beginning and at the end of the checks of time playing. Passengers do not need to stuff more out of their luggage to pick up and separate, which also makes a difference in the number of bins. In addition, suspicious objects with the new technique, a better look, which makes people less often their cabin baggage need to open.
Transparent bags
According to Van Vroonhoven have the liquids still in the special transparent literzakjes continue. He expects that in the future the system worldwide on the airports is to take effect, and the laws and regulations on this subject is modified, passengers also larger bottles should be allowed to take in their carry-on baggage. On the basis of advanced technology, hazardous fluids in the scan are detected.
The 3D-technique was already used in the checked luggage in the basement of the airport. The devices that are there, however, are too large and too heavy for the handbagagecontrole. Schiphol is experimenting now with four different manufacturers that the system offer. The testing phase is in close consultation with the National Coordinator counter-Terrorism and Security, and airline KLM.
