Shoe Explosives Detection Solution

Airports are facing a considerable growth of passengers, which implies more legislation, more threats, and more technologies with limited budget while there is always a need to focus on customer service.

Following the introduction of Explosives Detection Systems for Carried Baggage (EDS CB), there is a higher level of screening for explosives in hand baggage and therefore the risk scenario changes to the passengers. As shoes are a weak spot in passengers screening, this becomes one of the focus points of legislators and airports.

Currently scanning shoes is often expensive, time consuming and labor intensive and a terrible passenger experience. Scanning higher percentages of passenger shoes without decreasing the efficiency of the security lane is not possible with existing instruments or methods in place.

Scanning higher percentages of passenger shoes without decreasing the efficiency of the security lane is not possible with existing instruments or methods in place. Considering the restrictions of these current instruments and methods, there is an opening for an innovative solution for Shoe Screening that:

detects explosives in passengers’ shoes as one walks by;

enhances the efficiency of existing security operations;

increases the efficiency whilst fitting seamless into the operation;

is non-invasive for passengers;

and is flexible enough to withstand future impact by terrorist threats.

Shoe screening today is inconvenient and slow with terrible passenger experience

Taking off shoes for proper Shoe Explosive Detection (SED) screening is a time-consuming process that often ends with a bad passenger experience. The growing numbers of passengers at airports and ever-increasing legislation will make these problems even bigger. A new method is needed to cope with this growing security challenge.

The Delta R Shoe Scanner detects traces of illicit materials on shoes and is specially designed for airport security operations and unregulated security-sensitive spaces.

Seamless Flow, Smart Solution featuring:

Standoff Detection

Non-Invasive Screening

100% Screening

The Delta R technique by nature is capable of screening large numbers of passengers in a relative short amount of time. This throughput advantage, together with a low false positive alarm rate translates to screening 100% of passengers, while alarm resolution only needs to be performed on less than 10% of passengers.

Integration

The Delta R Shoe Scanner can be used as a standalone device, or can be integrated in existing equipment to ensure a seamless flow.

Throughput

The Delta R Shoe Scanner has a high throughput for an average of 13 passengers per minute and therefore will not add a bottleneck to the existing process while 100% of the passengers are screened. ETD or X-ray solution will always add time to the existing process.
