UK GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES DEPLOYMENT OF NEW X-RAY SEARCH TECHNOLOGY FROM 3DX-RAY FOR LONDON UNDERGROUND AND NATIONAL RAILWAY

摘要

Tom Harris, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport today (26 June 2008) reported that, as a result of screening trials and in response to the continuing terrorist threat to the rail network, British Transport Police (BTP) is introducing enhancements to its current screening capability. This includes x-ray equipment and explosive detection dogs capable of screening moving passengers.These enhancements build on the BTP's existing measures to screen a proportion of passengers and their bags, with minimal delay.rnThe revolutionary mobile x-ray system being used has been developed by 3DX-RAY in collaboration with BTP. Based around the company's portable TPXi-Flatscan digital x-ray system, it offers both speed and the clearest images available on any system of its type. Portable baggage scanners are initially being deployed in London, making it the first city in the world to protect its bus and rail commuters with airport-baggage scanner style technology.
