Case Studies
The collective aviation security expertise and experience of our team at JT Aviation Solutions is highlighted by the following Case Studies:
Case Study: Frankfurt International Airport (FRA)
Centralized Security Checkpoint Terminal 1 Concourse B
The aim of this project is to ensure the future viability of Terminal 1. A northward relocation and centralization of the security checkpoint in Concourse B has been planned, which will enable to establish airside connections between Concourses A, B and C to become an Airside Center for better inhabitation. New efficient smart security layouts have been incorporated in the design.
Services
General concept development
Central security checkpoint design in 3 major options
Evaluation and recommendation of the preferred option
Identification of interface projects and its incorporation in the overall programming
Phasing options, scheduling and cost estimates
Adaptation of the security area plans involving all terminal levels
Flow plan development (for passenger, PRM, staff, supply and disposal flows)
Case Study: Hamburg Airport (HAM)
Terminal Security Infrastructure – Various Projects
At Hamburg Airport we have been continuously engaged since 2010 in various projects for analysis, planning and optimization of the terminal facilities. Security planning and the development of security checkpoints and its coordination with the responsible authorities has been an integral portion of our work.
Services on security
General concept development
Determination of security requirements for the entire terminal incl. all checkpoints
Development of several transfer and US checkpoints incl. interim solutions during construction

Development of recommendations and best practices
Case Study: Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden Airport (FKB)
Expansion of the Security Checkpoint
The security checkpoint at Karlsruhe / Baden-Baden Airport needed to be expanded to five security lanes within a given (limited) space. Optimized layouts for a higher throughput and better space utilization were developed together with the airport management and the responsible authorities.

Smart Security Trial
Short description
The concept of Smart Security is thus a risk-based security system that brings together Security and Operations at an airport. ACSA has since initiated a Smart Security pilot which includes lane configuration and automation, full body image processing, screening of large electronic items effectively whilst in bags, centralized image processing and risk based differentiated screening by security officers.
Contents / scope
Services
Focused on optimizing resources and assets utilization, integrating innovative technology.
Repurposing existing equipment while integrating new procedures to facilitate risk-based screening and decision making.
Time series studies were conducted to compare the efficiencies introduced by integrating the technology and automating the passenger screening processes for Smart security vs. the traditional
security.
Deployment of detection equipment and automated Lanes to access gates and staff checkpoints.

Development/Implementation of a New Security Strategy, Structure and Operating Model
Short description
We need to review our strategy with our vision and the 3 Horizons, the entire ACSA ecosystem needs to align to the vision so that the security mandate is seamlessly implemented throughout the airports. Structural challenges and lack of mandate implementation were identified within enterprise security, therefore lead to developing a security strategy.
