Literature on airport screening operations in the presence of COVID-19.

Study Major finding
Dabachine et al. (2020) Modelling and processing algorithms for passenger processing under sanitary measures are discussed, with a use case on Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport.
Dollard et al. (2020) Passenger entry screening at airports is ineffective because of the nonspecific clinical presentation of COVID-19 and asymptomatic cases.
Hussain et al. (2020) A walk-through-gate with a wide range of sensors is proposed in order to better facilitate passenger screening at airports, if being placed at all entrances/exits.
Kierzkowski and Kisiel (2020) Different configurations of the security control lanes (Queue-based or Dedicated Stand-based) depends on whether the stakeholder has space to expand the system.
Li et al. (2020a) Pooling test strategies for infections could be successfully implemented on-site for COVID-19 detection at Sanya airport, yielding an increased test efficiency without loss of sensitivity.
Mitra et al., 2020 The role of temperature screening at airports for entry/exit scanning is questioned, because of having negligible value for the control of COVID-19.
Murthy (2020) An automatic tunnel disinfection system is proposed, similar to the X-ray machines, which could handle passenger luggage at airports.
Normile (2020) Screening of departing or arriving passengers can hardly intercept infected travelers, while screening programs being very costly.
Serrano and Kazda (2020) Thermal screening, self-handling kiosks, wearing face masks, and increasing cleaning measures throughout the terminal area are recommended for near-term airport operations.
Tuchen et al. (2020) A conceptual framework with a new perspective on airport user experience is proposed, aggregating the experience of all users under the impact of COVID-19.
