The VACIS XPL system scans passenger cars and other light vehicles to help security personnel search for weapons, explosives, drugs, and other threats.
The system scans entire vehicles bumper to bumper in just a few seconds as they drive through without stopping. The system’s detailed images reveal hidden weapons and other threats, and their color coding highlights explosives, drugs, and other organic materials. The system’s unique Easy Match feature automatically compares the current scan with prior scans of the same vehicle and highlights the differences to help inspectors spot new objects.
The system’s low radiation dose allows drivers and passengers to remain in the vehicle while it is scanned, enabling the system to scan 150 vehicles per hour or more in the normal flow of checkpoint traffic. With the VACIS XPL Mobile option, the system can be relocated quickly with no disassembly.
The VACIS XPL system’s innovative dual-energy X-ray technology highlights organic material such as explosives and drugs in color. The system’s top- down scanning angle is ideal for light vehicles. The system integrates the scan image, license number, video image, and other information in the system database.
The operator workstation enables users to operate the system and analyze scan images, all in one easy-to-use screen. The system provides a variety of functions for analyzing and annotating scan images. To enhance the efficiency and integrity of the inspection process, images can be analyzed at central locations without any identifying information.
The system’s low radiation dose and other features comply with the ANSI N43.17-2009 standard for general purpose security screening of people using X-rays. The system’s access-controlled area is smaller than the system itself. No additional shielding is required.
