Review of security inspection networking system development in China airports and its trend in the future

Abstract

A new security inspection networking system, meeting objectives and functions required by the scheme of flow renovation of security inspection (FRSI) from Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), was first developed and quickly deployed in many airports in China in the 1990's for 100% checked bag screening. During these years, the system was modified and retrofitted to integrate data from different inspection equipment, together packed with data of passenger and screener. This guarantees the consistency of the images and relevant passengers and keep screeners highly alert on duty. A broad marketing demand is still existed nowadays due to its special advantages. Although newly developed screening equipment such as advanced technology (AT) equipment and explosive detection system (EDS) have been widely used today, we still face the challenge of building a networked security inspection management system for all enforcement departments in airport. More work should be done to meet the needs and the forward steps never stop.
