How do we get metal stuff through the security screening gate?

Operational core of the IDP

The ultimate goal of building an integrated security platform is to improve management and improve processing capacity in sudden times. From an operational perspective, the emergency handling and movement management mechanism is the operational core of the IDP.

A mature emergency and movement management mechanism would require three elements:

It’s a perfect archive. This is an important feature of the integrated platform of the security system, which lists all possible emergency response scenarios by category, location, time period and magnitude of potential incidents, and continuously refines them.

The second is effective information that command managers can access. The information provided by the security system is based on real-time video, alert, geographic information, and, for historical information, on fast-track intelligence access, making full use of all types of information sources, which are effective tools to inform decision-making.

The third is effective exercise training. Once the system is in place, priority is usually given to basic operational management training, while training in emergency response management and dispatch is neglected. In the event of a major emergency, command and movement control personnel at all levels are still overwhelmed, despite the various types of pre-sequence guidance provided by the system. Regular emergency control exercises not only allow managers at all levels to familiarize themselves with the plan and make reasonable choices, but also optimize the plan and further effectively improve the level of emergency command and control.

Trends in airport security integration technology

The networking of goods, big data and cloud computing technologies will bring about fundamental changes in airport security integration, which will develop increasingly intelligent systems.

For the security-integration system, the operationalization of the data is largely achieved through the data collection and data storage analysis system of the integrated platform. Integrated platforms require human interaction, while large data systems primarily perform data storage and data analysis functions. The various front-end data are transmitted via the network to the back-office system, either directly via the platform, such as real-time video images, the need for demonstration through simple processing by the platform, such as related alerting links, intelligent services, etc., or the need for back-office excavation processing through large data, which are analysed and calculated using specific algorithms that match the scene, and then presented through the platform, such as behavioural analysis, profiling, rigorous statistical modelling, to achieve the results of ex post analysis and pre-judice.

Concluding remarks

The airport industry has been working to provide security system solutions that match business needs. At the same time, as the core of the system, and as an open system, the security-defended integrated platform is constantly being optimized.

Efforts to integrate security and safety technologies into the platform have now resulted in mature applications such as at Shenzhen Boang Airport and Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, which have led to increased operational capabilities and improved operational efficiency and experience for users.

The complexity and necessity of airport security integration, which involves a wide range of systems, diverse monitoring and monitoring audiences and complex operational scenarios, determine the complexity and necessity of airport security integration. As an increasingly important component of airport security systems, the IDP has been accompanied by a technological revolution and application change that has evolved in a more open and intelligent direction, with the replacement of the traditional isolated and unconnected subsystems with integrated security platforms, which are closely linked and which are joined together through integrated technologies. The security integration technology will evolve in the direction of in-depth, comprehensive and seamless integration, and the future airport security integration system will become more intelligent and robust.

The operational core of the IDP is also an end in itself to improving the management level and processing capacity of the IDP. From an operational perspective, the emergency handling and movement management mechanism is the operational core of the IDP.
