Data-Driven Analysis of Airport Security Checkpoint Operations

Airport Security Versus Patient Security: The “Sickurity” Problem

The massive restrain security measurements at the airports very much impress the health status of the healthy and sick passengers alike. The security check is undisputedly a harassment – the confiscation of fluids, the limited movement on the airplane results in a stressful situation and put a harmful effect on healthy traveler and an even more harmful one on the sick. This kind of problem coul...

Data-Driven Power System Operations

In operations, simulation and control of power systems, the presence of real-time data relating to system states can yield precise forecasts and can enable robust active control. In this research we are developing efficient and robust methods to produce “data enhanced” reduced order models and filters for large-scale power systems. The application that this paper focuses on is the creation of n...

Data-Driven Classification of Screwdriving Operations

Consumer electronic devices are made by the millions, and automating their production is a key manufacturing challenge. Fastening machine screws is among the most difficult components of this challenge. To accomplish this task with sufficient robustness for industry, detecting and recovering from failure is essential. We have built a robotic screwdriving system to collect data on this process. ...

Creating and Validating a Microscopic Pedestrian Simulation to Analyze an Airport Security Checkpoint

Aim of this simulation case study is to analyze waiting times and throughput at the security checkpoint of an international medium sized airport. The simulations shall provide the airport operator with the ability to easily change main impact parameters of an airport security checkpoint e.g. to test new security procedures, a flightplan with more passengers and also to optimize the security ope...
