Near-Term Suitability Assessment of Deploying DAC System at Airport: A Case Study of 52 Large Airports in China

This study is the first to propose the deployment of direct air capture (DAC) systems at large airports to provide solutions for achieving carbon neutrality in aviation transportation. Here, an estimating model for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the landing and take-off (LTO) phase of large airports was developed, and the suitability of deploying DAC systems at airports was evaluated by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). This study found that the annual CO2 emissions of 52 large airports in the LTO phase are about 23 Mt, accounting for about 23% of the total CO2 emissions of civil aviation in China. The four dimensions of airport transportation conditions, meteorological conditions, space resources, and security levels had a decreasing impact on the deployment of DAC systems in that order. The airports with suitable DAC systems are mainly located in the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Airport Cluster. This study provides a theoretical basis for the deployment of DAC systems at airports, which provides new CO2 emission reduction solutions for the aviation transportation industry.

Using return on investment and resiliency return on investment for preparedness

AbstractReturn on investment (ROI) has long been accepted as a primary tool for decision‐making for capital investments and even choices among competing operational budget lines. Applying ROI to investments intended to prevent or mitigate future risks and hazards can be very difficult, as benefits are typically arduous to define and calculate while risk probabilities can be very small. This paper uses examples from recent research concerning law enforcement, airport security, and airport resiliency to illustrate the feasibility of computing ROI and resiliency ROI (RROI) for such investments and to suggest methodology to approach these computations.

Emotional Analysis using Deep Learning

Emotions are mental states that accompany physiological changes in the face, resulting in facial expressions. Sympathy, anger, worry, joy, fright, and other significant emotions are a few examples. Facial expressions play a significant role in non-verbal communication because they encapsulate a person's emotions. There has been a great deal of research done on computer modelling of human emotions. Computer modelling of human emotions has been made possible by computer technology. However, it is still in its infancy. The authors attempted to overcome limitations and create new opportunities as well as gain a better understanding and implement this simple form of human interaction in proposed computer-aided world. It has been made possible to evaluate and interpret genuine facial expressions in real time thanks to new techniques for collecting facial expressions and quick, highresolution pictures. The FER (Facial Expression Recognition) method currently relies on motionless frames, which makes it very hard to recognize foreground from background in the absence of motion information. This study describes a real-time facial expression identification system that detects faces using HAAR cascading classification and classifies facial expressions using convolutional neural networks. The system utilizes a webcam to dynamically display emotion text and accurately categorizes seven major emotions, including anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise, and neutrality. Real-time facial expression recognition may be utilised in a number of real-world applications, including as airport security, trade, and medical monitoring.

“They always want to argue with you”: Navigating raciolinguistic ideologies at airport security

AbstractIn the aftermath of the Holocaust, Dutch public discourse promotes a self‐image of the Netherlands as ‘innocently’ post‐racial, a place where distinctions are drawn based on cultural differences rather than bodily characteristics. However, this innocence is called into question when groups or individuals, who culturally, legally and linguistically ‘fit’ within the Netherlands, are still racialised to the point of not being recognised as properly Dutch.This paper uses a feminist approach to autoethnography and critical discourse analysis to explore the author's racialised/racialising experiences of Dutch airport security, and how these experiences are both informed by and themselves re‐inform wider enactments of normative raciolinguistic ideologies. Drawing on theorisations of the links among language, embodiment and (self‐)surveillance by Sara Ahmed and Samy Alim, this paper argues that although markers of citizenship and linguistic ability can be fluidly employed and engaged with, raciolinguistic categorisation is still heavily influenced by bodily appearance.

Leading airport security crews: Special challenges and how to overcome them

Working at security checkpoints is a challenge in teamwork. Although most processes are individual tasks — such as baggage screenings and body searches — threat situations require the sudden and effective coordination of all crew members. However, security screening crews are constantly surrounded by passengers, making communication among members difficult. Despite their obvious practical benefits, scientific studies investigating teamwork in the security checkpoint environment are lacking. This paper presents a qualitative study aimed at obtaining insight into what represents good teamwork in the specific setting of the security checkpoint and how it can be promoted. A particular focus is placed on security crew leaders, who often work as both crew members and supervisors, making their tasks particularly challenging. Twenty interviews were conducted, ten with security screeners and ten with crew leaders. Two independent raters transcribed and analysed the interviews using qualitative content analysis. The results revealed six dimensions essential for effective teamwork at the security checkpoint: clear task distribution, communication, mutual support, proactive work behaviour, interpersonal relationships and as few instructions as possible. Additionally, ways in which crew leaders can support teamwork were identified, categorised into individual prerequisites, task-oriented behaviours and relationship-oriented behaviours. The findings should raise awareness of the importance of effective teamwork in the challenging environment of airport security checkpoints and provide recommendations for security professionals and practitioners to promote teamwork, thus making screening crews more effective and safe.

This research focuses on the relationship between passenger satisfaction and the ASQ dimensions of airports in Thailand. A three-stage analysis model was conducted by integrating structural equation modeling, Bayesian networks, and artificial neural networks to identify critical ASQ dimensions that highly impact overall satisfaction. The findings reveal that airport facilities, wayfinding, and security are three dominant dimensions influencing overall passenger satisfaction. This insight could help airport managers and operators recover passenger satisfaction, increase trustworthiness, and maintain the efficiency of the airports in not only this severe crisis but also in the new normality.

Analysis on airport security of baggage screening using deep learning

Airports are the places where landings and take offs of the flights take place. In general, airports are preferred for traveling over large distances. While traveling in flights we carry our baggage which consists of various items, but the items that are prohibited in the baggage are scissors, knives, gun, and the electronic devices which cannot be switched off. Carrying dangerous items may lead to hijacking of flights and it even led to unusual situations in the airport. To prevent public from threat, airports generally have security inspection in which you will be required to pass your luggage through an X-ray machine where it will be checked for dangerous items. This analysis deals with software side of the security inspection and it is a brief study on various state-of-art proposed deep learning intended methods that are used to detect threat in baggage screening, advantages of their methodology, limitations, and gaps to be implemented.

Structural Design and Safety Verification of a Service Hatch Used at Airports by FEM Analysis

This paper examines the design of a maintenance shaft hatch cover at an airport service road which will be utilized at airports in the European Union. The shaft has a particular application: it will be used for information networks and airport security. The hatch is also subject to extremely stringent safety criteria. For instance, in a catastrophic case, a wheel from an aircraft could strike the hatch cover. Based on all the input information and after a thorough analysis of the European standards concerning the safety of transport, after performing numerous FEM static evaluations, a hatch cover that can be utilized in airport infrastructure was created. As a result of the FEM analyses, the elements with the greatest impact on static safety were identified. Finally, a simulation of stress tests based on the traffic areas for which the hatch cover was designed, in terms of traffic safety, was carried out. The test led to a positive result, showing that it is possible to apply the hatch directly in practice.
