Day 3 - 17 March
Session:
Technology: Baggage Processing Innovations


12:05 - 12:25 - Hold Baggage Screening Standard 3 – design, development, machine selection process
Synopsis: All EU baggage screening systems must meet European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) Standard 3 CT-based technology by 2020 (2018 in UK according to DfT regulations) in order to maintain compliance. The scale of the replacement, changes in technology, physical constraints of the equipment and the IT requirements set huge challenges for airports. Heathrow Airport has been on the Standard 3 replacement journey with Arup for a number of years and will reflect on observations from the design and development process, including the rationale behind the machine selection and maintaining commercial tension through design.
