Hitachi Develops Explosives Detection Solution

摘要

Hitachi Ltd. has developed an explosives detection technology to automatically inspect for explosive substances adhering to luggage. As a result of this technology, inspection of carry-on luggage which previously took time as it required an inspector to wipe the luggage can be carried out in a minimum of approximately five seconds. By combining this explosive detection equipment with the conventionally installed X-ray inspection equipment, it will be possible to conduct inspection for both dangerous items and explosive substances without slowing down the flow of passengers. This development was conducted under the 'R&D Programme for Implementation of Anti-Crime and Anti-Terrorism Technologies for a Safe and Secure Society' of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Funds for integrated promotion of social system reform and research and development.
