SECURITY IN AIRPORT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN: A CASE STUDY FROM AMSTERDAM

摘要

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a well-equipped international airport with modern facilities. It offers these facilities to 101 scheduled airlines that transported 51 million passengers and 1.5 million tonnes of cargo to 317 destinations around the world in 2012. In order to realise its ambition of remaining 'Europe's Preferred Airport' Schiphol will invest in expanding its capacity and quality in coming years. The first important project is the transition from decentralised to central security throughout the airport. This adaptation is being made to offer more comfort to passengers and to make the boarding process more efficient for both airlines and passengers, while enabling the airport to continue to meet current (and new) European regulations.
