 Rail Passenger
and Baggage Screening
Problem: How do we screen passengers and
bags for explosives at stations like these?
Issues: High passenger throughput, little or
no station manning, little or no space for
screening equipment.
 Railcar Screening
of Passengers & Baggage
Goal
¾ Integrate explosives screening technologies into a
passenger (pax) railcar for mobile screening at
unmanned rail stations
Motivations
¾Mobile - bring the screening equipment to the station
¾Compact - must fit into a pax railcar and allow screened
pax to pass through to seating areas in other cars
¾Screening for bulk explosives is primary mission
(Madrid)
 Transportable Screening
Box
• Same equipment
as Railcar
• Install in Dry cargo
container, MILVAN,
or similar
• Power from
integrated or
auxiliary GENSET
or local power
• Can be stored
remotely and
placed when and
where needed, but
needs crane to get
off and on flatbed
trailer plus level
pad.
• Lower unit cost,
but higher cost to
position
