Transportation Security Systems

Protecting transportation systems from acts of terror presents unique security challenges, on buses and ferries, aircraft and light rail, under bridges or tunnels. Good detection can act as a deterrent.

Smiths Detection has long been committed to eliminating threats at airports and on-board aircraft, and is increasingly providing transportation security systems for mass-transit and other transport terminals across the world.

The combination of our two principal technologies, trace detection and x-ray screening, and the addition of new technologies such as millimetre wave, results in transportation security systems to detect explosives, weapons and illegal items in baggage or on passengers themselves.

We aim to support the transport security professionals by giving them the best tools for the job. Not only at the security checkpoint but also throughout all areas of the airport or transport terminal, plus intelligent video and networked systems for maximum efficiency.
