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.
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. In fact, we can predict the demand down to five-minute increments.
On this page you can read more about the importance of security planning and how we help airports improve their planning of security operations.
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? And how do you use that knowledge to improve your security planning?
In these situations, the importance of security planning is very visible. The solution is having a well-developed planning security tool. Security planning uses the forecasted passenger flows to predict how many lanes you need to have open, when they should open and how much staff you need to do the security checks. 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 plan and execute every part of their security checkpoint operations.
By implementing our planning software, you will be able to handle and optimize every phase of the airport security check. From passenger queuing lanes to adapting staff resources to the passenger flow.
With the key features of the Better Security solution, you will be able to:
- Plan in two ways. Depending on whether the x-ray machine or the security scanner is the bottleneck, you can do planning in images or passengers.
- Optimize lane opening or lane closing plans depending on the service level needed in the security checkpoint area.
- Plan using the same methodology regarding capacity, budget, lane and staff planning and execution of daily operations.
- Optimize staff demand depending on the passenger flow.
- Access the cloud-based software from every part of the airport.
- Always be up to date with any new upgrades.
Benefits of planning security operations
Our security planning software will provide several benefits such as adapted allocation of staff resources, automation of manual processes, and strong data driven planning tool.
