The importance of security planning in airports
Security planning in airports is important. Airports handle a lot of passengers every day. Therefore, airport security needs to be thorough and fast in order to handle a lot of people quickly. Â
At Copenhagen Optimization we are specialized in developing optimization software for airports. Everyday our software helps airports around the world forecasting passenger flows and plan staff resources and infrastructure allocation to make sure they fit the number of passengers at every hour.
On this page you can read more about the importance of security planning and how we help airports improve their planning of security operations.Â
What is security planning?
Why implement security planning in an airport?
An airport is a place where many people, both passengers and staff, are present at the same time. Often many passengers create long queues if the number of staff in security or check-in is not adapted to the passenger flow. But how will you know when there are many passengers in the airport and when there are few that need a security check?Â
In these situations, the importance of security planning is very visible. The solution is having a well-developed planning security tool. Security planning helps to forecast passenger flows and minimize the risk of security breaks occurring. An efficient security planning software solution is important to adapt the security checkpoint and staff resources to the varying number of passengers, in order to give the passengers the best experience of the airport.
Better Security provides better planning
Our security planning software Better Security is developed to help our clients’ planning and executing every part of their security checkpoint operations. Â

- Plan using the same methodology regarding capacity, budget, lane and staff planning and execution of daily operations.
- Staff demand optimizing depending on the passenger flow.
- Cloud-based software accessible from every part of the airport to enable planning of security initiatives on the go.
- Always up to date with any new upgrades.

A modular software solution you can adapt
The Better Security software is a part of our Better Airport solution. Better Airport is a modular system that allows you to implement the entire system or to choose specific modules suited for optimizing each part of the passenger journey through the airport. Depending on which of the passenger touchpoints issues occur you can select specific modules for optimization.
Better Airports includes the modules:
For example if you are experiencing specific issues with the check-in touchpoint then you can choose to combine Better Check-in and Better Virtual Queuing to optimize the check-in and passenger queuing flow. This is just one example. You can combine the modules as you wish depending on your optimization needs.
