Transportation Safety

Around the world, hundreds of millions of people travel using air, sea, and rail transportation modes. The need for security in airports, especially after 9/11, is essential. Equally important are security measures for rail transport, due to the deadly terrorist attacks on rail-based transportation systems over the past twenty years. Additionally, the cruise industry is vulnerable to terrorist attacks, which raises serious security concerns. To help protect transportation passengers and personnel, many countries are seeking more advanced security systems to aid their efforts in the fight against terrorism. This is especially true when seeking ways to detect non-metallic weapons, such as suicide bombs, often concealed on a passenger’s body. The transportation industry also has the difficult task of monitoring and preventing trafficking of illegal drugs and other contraband from entering airplanes, subways, trains, and cruise ships.

Brijot^® understands the needs of the transportation sector and has developed products and solutions to enable more effective people screening for detecting both metallic and non-metallic concealed objects, such as gels, powders, liquids, drugs, and currency. Each option is completely safe, easy to use, and reveals no anatomical details while ensuring a fast throughput.
