What if airport security teams across the world could quantify and then minimize the amount of risk throughout areas of an airport? The Operations Research Team at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is developing and implementing an optimization model called ARAM (Airport Risk Analysis Model) for the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. ARAM will provide a recommended optimal deployment of security assets to reduce risk in areas of an airport. The model is based on a risk equation that considers consequences, vulnerabilities, and threat magnitudes at airports. ARAM will also provide the estimated risk buy down percentage, which is how much risk …
