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. |
