Here's how airports will go for coronavirus
High-tech medical devices and thermal imaging are the future of airport security.
After September 11, theThe airport's experience has changed foreverWith deep safety projections via technologies such as metal detectors, full-body scanners, palm buffers for explosive residues and facial recognition devices. Now, with the trip starting to resume after the coronavirus lockdowns, it looks like frequent flyers could be in another upheaval. Airports around the world are starting to implement new screening procedures to determine whether passengers may disseminate coronavirus.
Although the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) has not published formal rules for coronavirus projections at US airports, both national and international facilities tests new security measures. Thermal cameras that recognize whether people have abnormally high temperatures, a known symptom of Covid-19, are set toScan travelers as they follow security checkpoints at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). This is not the first time this equipment has been used at airports - it also appeared during the 2003 Respiratory Respiratory Respiratory Epidemic Epidemic (SARS) and Ebola Epidemic 2014.
"It's going to be part of our normal travel system"Richard Salisbury, General Manager and Founder of British Thermal Imaging Company Systemsknix Systems, told theLos Angeles Times.
Some airports, especially foreign those, are trying more advanced technologies. At Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha, Qatar,Airport employees make smart screening helmets This combines infrared cameras, an increased reality and artificial intelligence to analyze passengers for temperature abnormalities. Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) isTest high tech stands This will take people's temperatures and disinfect them with ultraviolet light and a clean-up spray - a process that takes less than a minute.
Another possible solution is considered from the United States: Parsons Corp., a Engineering company based in Virginia, has partnered with a handful of American airports, such as LAX, to experiment withNon-contact health screening kiosks. These machines take not only temperatures, but also monitor breathing and pulse rates. Any additional medical question will be answered via a smartphone application Connecting.
Although these screening procedures are highly concentrated on the temperature, it is not a safe measure to determine whether someone has or not Covid-19. A small percentage of infected individuals is asymptomatic, which means they would not have high temperatures or other notable symptoms. But the projections would probably be margled by a majority of coronavirus-positive people, while making safer trips for airports and airlines, as well as passengers.
