Challenge
For a period of 5 months Brisbane Airport has been undertaking a trial project at their international security checkpoint. The trial consisted of security scanner equipment and a CT machine operated at standard 3 integrated in an automated security lane.
Point FWD has been asked to perform a multi- phased peer review to validate the current trial approach and to share their experience on trialling these types of equipment, as well as to identify any risks on the current approach and provide recommendations on the trial. Furthermore, assistance on the analysis of trial performance and functionally modelling design decisions was desired in order to better prepare for the design phase for both the future International-, as well as the future Domestic terminal checkpoint.
“Aside from modelling just performance and efficiency figures based on component setup, BAC was able to gain full awareness on the impact of various design decisions”
Approach and Output
Phase 1 was about understanding the reasons for undertaking a trial project, the taken approach and intended road to success. This was done by conducting a full trial documentation review, including the trial plan and data collection methods. The documentation review has then been further discussed in meetings with the client. A conclusive peer review document was delivered which validated BAC’s trial approach. We complemented this with several specific findings related to data methods and data collection points.
Our validation has provided Brisbane airport with the confidence over their current trial approach. Next to this BAC is able to steer the trial project while undertaking it. Ultimately this enables Brisbane to be better prepared for the next phase of the project.
In Phase 2 performance of the trial has been assessed and concluded on based on performed thorough data analyses. This covered all available checkpoint data outputs ranging from CT algorithm decision to Security Scanner resolution times and baggage inspection analyses. As Point FWD helped to shine light on those critical analyses and important KPIs, Brisbane gained control over its trial project performance.
Phase 3 has provided BAC with a comprehensive modelling of functional checkpoint designs. Aside from modelling just performance and efficiency figures based on component setup, BAC was able to gain full awareness on the impact of various design decisions. Design decisions include operational concepts, machine selections and process and lane configurations.
