General functional principle

The HI-SCAN 10080 EDtS Explosives Detection System allows almost fully automated X-ray scanning ofcheck-in passenger baggage in order to detect explosives in the baggage. Baggage inspection is carried outat a number of defined levels.

Evaluation levels

The baggage inspection system comprises a minimum of three security levels (level 1 to level 3). The follow-ing figure explains the principle of the evaluation sequence.

In level 1, all check-in baggage is automatically inspected through X-ray inspection units type HI-SCAN 10080EDtS and, depending on the result of the inspection, classified as “accept” (IO) or “reject” (NIO). Acceptedbags (IO) are directly transferred to the sorting area. The X-ray images of bags which are suspected to con-tain explosives (NIO) or X-ray images areas of which could not be completely penetrated by X-rays (darkalarm) are transferred to level 2.

This level of baggage inspection comprises analyst stations for visual checking of X-ray images received fromlevel 1. In case items of baggage are still suspected to contain dangerous contents in level 2, these items willbe forwarded to level 3.

Level 3 comprises an optional recheck station where the X-ray images of the bags are examined without timelimitation by an image interpreter. The image interpreter has to take the final decision if a bag is dangerousor not, or if further measures have to taken to examine the bag’s content.

Page 16: 95591427 3D Simulation

System survey

The X-ray inspection units are normally integrated into the airport's baggage handling system (BHS). In de-tail, the system comprises the following components:

— X-ray inspection units, type HI-SCAN 10080 EDtS for X-raying of baggage and automatic X-ray image eval-uation (level 1). Each X-ray inspection unit communicates with the baggage handling system via its ownBHS interface. As an alternative, you can also use X-ray inspection units type HI-SCAN 10080 EDX or HI-SCAN 10080 EDX-2is at this point

— analyst stations (level 2) for evaluation of suspicious X-ray images from level 1

— optional Recheck station(s) (level 3) for evaluation of suspicious X-ray images from level 2. The recheckarea can be equipped with additional X-ray inspection units type HI-SCAN 8380-3D or HI-SCAN 11080-3D

— MatriX Server (Single / Cold StandBy / Co StandBy) to control the image distribution

— optional Heimann Management Server (HMS) to provide the Heimann Management Console with neces-sary data

— optional Heimann Management Console (HMC or HMC-S) for the administration of the overall system. TheSuper Heimann Management Console HMC-S has additional functions to service the system and includesa modem for remote access via the telephone network for remote diagnosis and service

— optional Central Image Data Archives (CIDA) to store all X-ray images generated in the system; the im-ages will be archived in the system for a certain period of time; the duration of storage depends on thebaggage quantity

— twisted-pair network (TP) and / or fibre-optic network (FO) with active and passive components for thetransmission of X-ray images and data

— uninterruptible, battery-buffered power supplies (UPS) for all analyst / recheck stations and the HMC, theHMS and the MatriX Server system; in case of power failures data loss can thus be avoided

System survey

The MatriX Server(s), the CIDA, the HMS and the associated network components as well as theuninterruptible power supplies are accommodated in an electronics cabinet (example).

The analyst stations of level 2 are normally accommodated in a separate control room provided for the im-age evaluation. The monitors, keyboard and mouse of the analyst station are placed on a desk.

System 1

System 1 comprises three evaluation levels.

Level 1 includes two X-ray inspection units type HI-SCAN 10080 EDtS (example). Depending on the amount ofbaggage, the check-in baggage will be transferred to one or two inspection units.

Level 2 comprises a minimum of three to four analyst stations to avoid bottlenecks in case of high baggageflow. Suspicious bags or bags which have not been completely cleared in level 2 will automatically be trans-ferred to level 3. Vertisorters are provided to presort the bags.

A final manual inspection of the suspicious bags will be carried out at the recheck station in level 3. Depend-ing on the project, 3D systems can be used at this point to be able to examine suspect bags from differentperspectives.

Unsuspicious bags are automatically transferred to the carousel for manual final sorting. Afterwards thebags will be loaded onto the aircraft.

System 2 comprises five evaluation levels.

Level 1 includes two X-ray inspection units type HI-SCAN 10080 EDtS (example) each of which is assigned toa check-in area.

Level 2 comprises a minimum of three to four analyst stations to avoid bottlenecks in case of high baggageflow. Suspicious bags or bags which have not been completely cleared in level 2 will automatically be trans-ferred to another automatic X-ray inspection unit in level 3. Depending on the project, X-ray diffraction orCT-units can be used at this point. Diverters are provided to presort the bags.

The final manual inspection of suspicious bags from level 4 will be carried out at the recheck station in level5. Depending on the project, 3D systems can be used at this point to be able to examine suspect bags fromdifferent perspectives.

Unsuspicious bags are automatically transferred to the two carousels for manual final sorting. Afterwards,the bags will be loaded onto the aircraft.

System 3

System 3 comprises four evaluation levels with level 2 being divided into levels 2a and 2b.

Level 1 includes two X-ray inspection units type HI-SCAN 10080 EDtS (example). Depending on the amount ofbaggage, the check-in baggage can be transferred to one or two inspection units.

Level 2a comprises analyst stations to clear bags which have been rejected for dark alarms. Bags which havenot been cleared in level 2a will be transferred to the recheck in level 3 by the baggage handling system.

Bags from level 1 which are suspected to contain explosives will be transferred to an automatic X-ray inspec-tion unit in level 2b. Depending on the project, X-ray diffraction- or CT units can be used at this point.Vertisorters and diverters are provided to presort the bags.

The final manual inspection of suspicious bags from levels 2a and 2b will be carried out at the recheck sta-tion in level 3. Depending on the project, 3D systems can be used at this point to be able to examine suspectbags from different perspectives.

Unsuspicious bags will be transferred to the final sorting. Depending on the destination the bags will be dis-tributed to luggage chutes by means of diverters. Afterwards the bags will be loaded onto the aircraft.

System survey

System 5

System 5 contains 6 checkpoints which consist of iLane systems with HI-SCAN 6040 aTiX units for the in-spection of hand baggage, and millimeter-wave systems eqo for people screening.

The iLane system consists of several modules. These modules have the following functions:

— Container base: This part of the system consists of a sheet onto which you place baggage containers. Thecontainer bases are located at the start of the iLane system. Containers are placed onto the containerbase at the start of the system and objects to be scanned are put into the containers. The containers areautomatically fed which enables several passengers to prepare for the inspection in parallel. All baggageitems must be placed into containers!

— Conveyor: Motorized belts for the baggage transport.

— Separator: The separator is a motorized feed conveyor. The latter moves the containers at a speed lessthan that of the X-ray unit's own conveyor or stops to separate the containers. The separator guarantees acertain minimum distance between the individual containers before they reach the scanning area. Thiskind of separation enables the containers to be reliably identified and sorted out.

— X-ray inspection unit: Elementary part of the iLane system. The X-ray inspection unit scans the objects;the inspection result is displayed on two monitors together with possible pointers to certain threats. TheHI-SCAN 6040 aTiX is sending two pictures with different angles to the monitors. Optionally, the imagescan be sent to stations in an analyst room to carry out a "remote screening".

— Sorting point: A diverter at the X-ray unit's output side via which the containers are directed, dependingon their classification, to the conveyor for unsuspicious objects or to the conveyor for suspect objects. Themotorized diverter forms also the technical basis for the "remote operator screening", this means, an op-eration analog to an EDS system. The diverter works smoothly in order not to damage sensitive scanninggoods.

— Container return: Transports empty containers back to the container base at the start of the iLane sys-tem. Introduction into the baggage container return is done manually by the passenger/operator or auto-matically via a camera for the recognition of empty baggage containers.

Page 23: 95591427 3D Simulation

System survey

— Recheck table: Recheck point for manual check of suspicious objects.

— Recheck station: Remote workstation at the recheck table where X-ray images of scanned objects can bedisplayed. The recheck station is an option.

— Operation center: As an option, the image evaluation can take place in an analyst room (analog to EDSsystems). This facilitates an improved employment of staff in terms of both security and efficiency. Staffcan be reduced for the "remote screening" because not all lines require an operator. For example, fouroperators can assume the image evaluation of six lines in the analyst room.
