Airport Security
Since 9/11, airports have had to thwart an increasing array of threats and address a myriad of vulnerabilities, the need for advanced security systems has increased.  In order to be truly secure, a key technology must be chosen and implemented wisely.

ALIVE's Biometric Security Solutions provide airport officials options regarding what type of biometric they would like to deploy, what type of system they are interested in (for example, a controlled access system via card readers) and where the systems would be best deployed. Biometrics, i.e. recognizing and authenticating individuals based on unique biological data, are able to provide "one-to-one" authentication of individuals and virtually eliminate the ability to assume someone elses identity.

For employees, most who are already familiar with a card or badge system, it would simply be a second level of authentication. It would verify that the person in possession of the card or badge was the exact person to which the card or badge belonged. Controlled entry, via access card readers and Multi-Dimensional facial recognition portals, of authorized personnel to secured areas would assist management in:

  • Tracking employee movement within the airport
  • Assist in monitoring any suspicious activity
  • Securing areas where non-employees should not be
  • System Reports and Administration
All access requests, both authorized and denied, are sent to the host for storage and annunciation, giving the management personnel all the necessary information (date, time, cardholder name, facial image of the person presenting the card, and area where access was attempted, and even digital video of an event) should an investigation of any sort be deemed necessary.

To stay ahead of terrorists who would do us harm, it is vitally important that TSA always develop, select and deploy cutting edge technology.

ALIVE has installed its Multi-Dimensional Facial Recognition Access Control Solution in a confidential access control project at a major international airport which has been in place for over 36 months. During the course of this project, we have had a 0% False Acceptance Rate (meaning no unauthorized personnel were able to gain access).

ALIVE's Multi-Dimensional Facial Recognition Access Control System (by Geometrix, Inc.) completed evaluation at a TSA Test Facility in Knoxville, TN. The report indicated that the Geometrix solution was the only facial recognition that thay had been unable to spoof. Out of 538 attempts to defeat the system there were no successful attempts. This system is applicable for nearly every point of access in an airport.

 
 
ALIVE, Tech, Inc., G5 Technologies and Siemens Maintenance Services, LLC. deploy Multi-Dimensional Facial Recognition System at the Helena Regional Airport as part of a TSA Funded researach and development initiative.
