A fuzzy model for evaluating metal detection equipment at airport security screening checkpoints

Abstract: Every passenger who travels by air is exposed to security screening. As part of this procedure, the passenger typically is screened by a walk-through metal detector. Such a device should effectively detect prohibited metal items while simultaneously ensuring adequate throughput at the security screening checkpoint. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate both these factors when selecting an appropriate walk-through metal detector and its parameters. However, while it is easy to measure passenger throughput, it is much more difficult to determine the effectiveness of a detector, which is a subjective concept.
