Methodologies For The Analysis Of Checked Baggage Inspection Systems, Nela Blejcharova

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

To enhance the security of the aviation system it is necessary to have a Checked Baggage Inspection System (CBIS) that is effective (that is, the highest possible detection probability or minimum false clear probability) yet efficient (that is, minimize the false alarm probability that causes inconvenience to passengers).

The first objective of this thesis is to review passenger, carry-on and checked baggage inspection procedures at airports

The second objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology using the optimization approach to set the optimal values of the sensitivity of the screening devices to minimize the total cost of inspecting …
