SBIR Phase II: Computerized Tool for Baggage Screening

这项小企业创新研究计划第二阶段的研究项目将开发一种技术，通过集成信息技术系统，包括新的x射线图像检查技术、新的电子通信技术、材料处理自动化和以数据库为中心的计算机化，提高安检效率，增加吞吐量，同时降低机场和其他敏感设施的劳动力成本。目前通过一个典型的安全检查点的处理速度相对较慢、费力且成本较高。今天的检查点很少利用计算机化，从而限制了它们的有效性。计划将原型系统集成到TSA批准的测试站点，并由独立的第三方进行测试和评估。检查站安全的现代化将改善对社会许多其他部分的保护。在当今世界，至关重要的是，我们国家的公民、交通系统、机构、敏感设施和经济都能得到最好的保护。安全性已经变得更加严格和耗时。如果成功，该项目将开发出一种产品，能够提高行李托运设施的安全性，同时减少进行检查的时间。精简和改进联邦大楼、政府设施、海港、托运人、邮件收发室和其他敏感地点的安全措施，可以增加我们对日常生活的信心，并有助于改善国家的经济安全。

This Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase II research project will develop a technology for improving security checkpoint effectiveness and increasing throughput while reducing labor costs for airports and other sensitive installations by integrating information technology systems incorporating new x-ray image inspection technology, new electronics communications technology, materials handling automation, and database-centric computerization. Current processing rates through a typical security checkpoint are relatively slow and laborious and costs are high. Today's checkpoints take little advantage of computerization thereby limiting their effectiveness. It is planned that the prototype system will be integrated into a TSA approved test site and tested and evaluated by an independent third partyModernization of checkpoint security will improve protection of many other segments of society. In today's world it is vital that our nation's citizenry, transportation systems, institutions, sensitive installations, and economy have the best protection possible. Security has become much more restrictive and time consuming. If successful this project will develop a product that will be able to increase the security at check bags handling facilities while reducing the time to conduct the checks. The streamlining and improving of security at federal buildings, government installations, maritime ports, shippers, mailrooms, and other sensitive locations can increase confidence in our day-to-day lives and help improve the nation's economic security.
