The challenge: Security screening operations in airports and mass transit environments have traditionally focused on controlled “pinch points” where passengers naturally form queues, such as airport security checkpoints. However, large open areas—including airport and mass transit station concourses and other public spaces—remain vulnerable to attack.
Screening individuals for mass-casualty threats in these busy, free-flow environments presents a significant challenge. Enforcing fixed screening lanes or predetermined flow patterns is often impractical and can negatively impact the passenger experience.
How Thruvision solves it: Thruvision ultra-high throughput camera (HTC) addresses this challenge with its unique widescreen field of view, enabling both multi-lane and free-flow screening of around 4,500 people per hour. Operating at distances of around 7 metres, HTC safely and respectfully detects concealed mass-casualty threats and contraband hidden beneath clothing, including both metallic and non-metallic items.
Detectable Threats Include:
- Semi-automatic firearms
- Large, bladed weapons
- Person-borne explosive devices
- Narcotics
- Currency
- And more
Thruvision’s passive screening solutions, now deployed in more than 30 countries, display the size, shape, and location of concealed items in real time, allowing operators to rapidly assess potential threats and make informed decisions without the need for intrusive pat-down searches.
Powered by Thruvision’s patented passive detection technology, HTC enables safe, non-invasive screening with no emitted radiation or health risks. This makes it suitable for screening all individuals, including pregnant women, children, and those with implanted medical devices such as pacemakers.
Whether protecting airports, rail networks, transport hubs, public venues, or other critical infrastructure, Thruvision helps security teams identify concealed threats quickly, discreetly, and effectively—without disrupting the flow of people.
