Salt Palace Convention Center Title: International Terminals Standards Outside of the US and Design Trends and Initiatives Passenger Security Screening is Becoming Faster just not in the US (Yet!) Speaker: Regine Weston, Arup Date: March 2, 2016
Achieving Faster Effective Security March 2-4, 2016 Evolution of Passenger Security Screening Components of Passenger and Hand Bag Screening One Stop Security
Evolution of Passenger Security US Pre-9/11 ~2002-2009 2010-current 1 x-ray 1 WMD Processing rates up to 600 passengers per hour 2 x-ray 1 WMD Processing rates 240-280 passengers per hour 2 x-ray 1 AIT Processing rates 150-200 passengers per hour
Components March 2-4, 2016 Divestiture Baggage X-Ray Revestiture
Current US Condition Divestiture Length of divestiture ranges from a few feet to up to 20 feet Sequential process Other Countries 30-40 feet Multiple passengers simultaneously Requires automated tray return
Baggage X-Ray Current US Condition Single TSA Agent reviews all images immediately adjacent to x-ray device High Threat bag separation available at some locations Other Countries Matrix Screening where images are reviewed remotely Requires Bag buffering/high threat bag separation
Current US Condition Revestiture Revestiture ranges from a few feet to up to 12 feet All bags that are cleared arrive in sequence Other Countries 30-40 feet Bags not necessarily delivered in the same order as passengers nor grouped together

Geometry/Resourcing March 2-4, 2016 Once X-Ray is expedited, then The Capacity of a Security Lane is a combination of: Technology Security Machine Technology Type of lane and associated x ray equipment used (but doesn t relate to CIP) Manual or automatic tray returns systems (ATRS) Linear or parallel loading Local or remote screening Passenger scanning equipment AMD vs body scanners or a combination of these Location of secondary LAGs screening equipment Location and type of other secondary scanning equipment (e.g. shoe scanners) Circulation space for passengers Space Length provided for queue, divest/revest and composure Width provided for passenger circulation (taking into consideration column grid and equipment size) Level of resourcing/staffing Number of staff to operate each lane Equipment 140 180 pax/hr/lane Increased or remote staffing Increased lane length (revest and divest positions) 120 165 pax/hr/lane Typical Manual Lane Technology Resources/ Staffing Lane Length >200 pax/hr/lane Parallel loading ATRS New baggage technology Increased and/or remote staffing Increased lane length (revest and divest positions) 150 200 pax/hr/lane Parallel or Linear loading ATRS Technology New baggage scanning technology Technology/Equipment

IATA Airport of the Future
One Stop Security March 2-4, 2016 ICAO Position The concept of One Stop Security should be advanced, where ICAO Member States, by virtue of recognising the equivalency of each other s aviation security regimes, can allow incoming passengers, baggage and cargo to transfer onto a connecting flight without being subjected, once again, to the same security controls as at the point of origin. (Modified to allow unilateral recognition) What it means Transfer passengers arriving from a country with security procedures that are acceptable to the hub airport s government do not have to be security screened Implications Hub airports outside the US can offer International transfer passengers a better experience with more time in retail and less time in queues

What can we learn from international (overseas) terminals? We re not in Kansas anymore!

The IATA ADRM March 2-4, 2016 The IATA Airport Development Reference Manual (ADRM) What is it? Why so important to overseas users? What can we get from it?
ADRM through the ages 7 th ed. 1989 220 pages 8 th ed. 1995 300 pages ATRM ADRM LOS Arrives! & World Class 9 th ed. 2004 720 pages 10 th ed. 2014 600 pages (4 sections & counting)
ADRM 10 Passenger Terminal Introduction (Sec. 3.4.1) Note: The ADRM does not provide a definitive guide on how to design an airport terminal and it is not intended to be used in that context. As a consequence of these numerous variables, it is wholly misleading to surmise that the rigid application of the information contained within the ADRM will necessarily deliver the most appropriate solution.

C2G PHILOSOPHY GOAL STRATEGY Reduce pax anxiety/stress from fear of missing flight Provide education and information on C2G process live time Ensure air carriers maintain full control over their own boarding process Increase Operational flexibility Passengers are only directed to proceed to their gate when the Gate agent initiates that action Allocate gates later Encourage pax to shop/dine in retail plaza Minimal amenities in boarding zones (food/beverage, retail, charging stations, seating, etc.)
C2G MESSAGE WALKTHROUGH Passengers in the Check in Hall Communication tools and personnel will instruct passengers to proceed to their Departures Lounge (D or E) and consult flight information display screens there to find gate information.
Once inside the Departures Lounge, passengers will be greeted by Ambassadors at an InfoCentre located immediately in front of them. A 12 screen flight information display board is prominently placed for passengers to find out gate information.
C2G MESSAGE WALKTHROUGH Passengers in the Departures Lounge (D or E) At this point, depending on their Estimated Departure time, passengers will either see their gate assigned time, or will see their gate number already visible on the flight information display boards.
Gate Assigned Time is based on a formula that takes many variables into consideration in order to ensure there is ample, but not excessive, time to board. This formula is programmed into the C2G software and is pushed to the flight information display boards. EXAMPLE: Estimated Departure Time 18:00 Load Time 56mins Gate Assigned Time 17:04 LOAD TIME = Standard boarding time (45mins) + Walk time to the gate (6mins) + Buffer time (5mins)
Passengers in the Departures Lounge (D or E) Passengers can be confident that nothing will change until the Gate assigned time has been reached and therefore can make informed decisions on what to do with their time (fine dining versus food court, etc.)
When the Gate Assigned time is reached, the gate number will be shown and the status message will read Boarding begins shortly
Gate Agents have time at their gate to handle pre-board activities (Visa reconciliations, seat assignments, etc.) without the interruption of passengers. This status message will not change until the Gate Agent actions it.
At this point, all subsequent Boarding messages Pre-boarding, Boarding, Final Call, Closed, Departed are actioned by the Gate Agent. The boarding process remains in the control of the air carrier.
Passengers in the Departures Lounge (D or E) Status messages are not only visible on the flight information display boards, but a corresponding audible message will be heard in pre-defined paging zones as well.
Passengers in the Departures Lounge (D or E) To facilitate on time departures and passenger confidence and comfort, there are dozens of flight information display boards throughout the Departures Lounge, including at all fine dining establishments.
COMMUNICATION It is critical for passengers to understand the Call to Gate process in order for them to feel comfortable. There are several opportunities to describe the process to passengers: Describe C2G process Alert pax when gate is given Advise pax walk time to gate from their position YYC APP Web alert when pax are printing travel and boarding documents at home Web Kiosk alert when pax are printing travel and boarding documents at kiosk Kiosk Located centrally in the holdroom. Staff have access to gate numbers before they are posted InfoCentre
PASSENGER EXPERIENCE March 2-4, 2016 Call to Gate success requires a concerted effort to ensure passengers are comfortable and relax. SUCCESS CRITERIA On time Departure Continuous boarding (no bottlenecks) Informed and relax passengers DEPENDENCIES Accurately timed C2G messaging Sufficient queuing space in boarding zones Clear and intuitive wayfinding
Thanks Again! In closing Innovative concept for North America Will improve passenger experience Will increase commercial revenue Will increase operational efficiency and flexibility with gate allocation
