Project DARTMOUTH<\/strong>\u00a0will utilise\u00a0Pangiam’s<\/a> technologies<\/strong>\u00a0alongside\u00a0Google Cloud’s<\/strong>\u00a0artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) computer vision tools, such as their\u00a0Vertex AI\u00a0<\/strong>Platform. This technology will be tested within the security facilities of AGS Airport Ltd, owners and operators of Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Southampton Airports in the UK.<\/p>\n

The collaboration means that\u00a0Pangiam’s<\/strong>\u00a0national security-grade technology and deep experience of managing aviation security threats will, for the first time, be boosted by\u00a0Google Cloud’s<\/strong>\u00a0industry-leading suite of\u00a0AI<\/strong>\u00a0technologies.<\/p>\n

Project DARTMOUTH<\/strong>\u00a0is intended to make air travel safer by integrating AI into airport baggage security and screening operations. The technology will in the first instance be focused on rapidly identifying potential threats in baggage, providing increased throughput at security checkpoints, addressing critical friction points in air travel as well as supporting security teams.\u00a0 In later phases the technology will scale to help tackle other pressure points in security and wider airport operations.<\/p>\n

AI and ML models will be trained to be able to detect prohibited items in real-time as bags pass through airport X-ray scanning equipment. It will also be used to spot anomalies and unusual patterns which could indicate a new or coordinated attempt to breach security, before alerting security staff to examine those items further.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

\n This technology marks a monumental step in bringing automation to aviation security and sets a new precedent for international security standards. First and foremost, the technology will deliver a better experience for the traveller, the airport, and governments. To help us achieve this, we have selected Google Cloud as our technology vendor of choice\u2014a leader in artificial intelligence and cloud technologies. <\/blockquote>\n\n
