Before the summer, the entire current physical ticket control be automated and publkum must get used to that flight starts on a slightly different way than today.
With the new automation thrust is Oslo Airport as close to a full automation as possible:
After this, only the security checkpoint you must meet a manual and physical control. The rest of the flight is automated for whoever wants.
Oslo Airport has added six million dollars in the project which was opened last Monday. The airport expects it as a good investment of more than one way: faster travel and saved weights expenses.
– We expect to recoup this amount on a year, says media chief Joachim Westh Andersen at Oslo Airport Aftenposten .
Replaces manual ticket control
The new machines that travelers at Gardermoen now have to get used to using to replace the current ticket control, which occurs before the security checkpoint.
In Today there are guards who make a physical inspection of only those who have a valid ticket and going to travel, slip past the security checkpoint and into the departure area of the airport.
It is this feature that is now being replaced by machines, not unlike those found in other ratchet bars.
They are simple to use: By adding ticketed barcode against a reader, the port opened and the passenger can walk further into security.
Should sift passengers
The control is not something Norwegian authorities have devised. It is the EU that has decided that only those who are going to travel, should drop in on departure area airports.
The positive consequence of automation is however that the journey will be simpler and implemented even faster than before, if the technology works properly.
Although there is still a limited number of machines out there, the effect is already good:
– The safety checks currently serves 4-4500 travelers per hour, and around half of these are now using machines, says Andersen.
Positive feedback rating
– We’ve had some machines for testing recently, and the feedback is very good. This is a good system, says Andersen.
Eventually, several machines come up, so the service will cover the airport’s need for the EU imposed ticket control. Control is part of the anti-terrorism efforts in European aviation. At OSL emphasizes however that there will always be an option for manual control as today, for those who are not comfortable with machines or have reduced mobility.
With ticket control automation is the flight so to speak fully automated, for those who will use the available offers:
