A consortium including Vision AI specialist company SightAI has been selected for the project 'Development of an all-in-one security search platform based on user-friendly design for airport and future transportation services' supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology Evaluation and Planning.
The project is being led by Creative Design, with a consortium comprised of Sight AI, SST Lab, and Hanseo University's Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation. The research and development period is scheduled to end in December 2030. The total research and development cost is 8.4952 billion won, of which 6.37 billion won will be supported by the government.
This research and development aims to build a smart all-in-one security screening platform that can encompass not only existing passenger transportation services such as airports and ports, but also future transportation environments such as urban air mobility (UAM) and purpose-built vehicles (PBVs).
Through this project, the R&D team plans to develop a "hybrid walk-through" security screening platform that integrates a hand-held CT scanner, a full-body scanner, and a shoe scanner into a single device, and combines AI-based identity verification and behavioral detection technologies. This will create an environment where passengers can complete security screening naturally while walking and moving, without having to stop or remove their belongings.
Siseon AI, which participated in the development, is responsible for ▲developing AI-based identity recognition and forgery detection algorithms ▲implementing behavior analysis and abnormal behavior detection technology ▲designing and developing the e-Gate system ▲establishing a personal information protection system ▲installing a test bed and conducting pilot operations.
▲Creative Design, as the lead organization, leads UX and UI design, hardware design development, and oversees the design of the hybrid walk-through structure and implementation of the integrated system architecture. ▲SST Lab is responsible for the development of AI-based security screening equipment such as CT scanners, full-body scanners, and shoe scanners, hardware integration, construction of open architecture-based servers and communication protocols, and development of remote reading systems. ▲Hanseo University's Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation develops model-specific operating environment scenarios such as airports and vertiports, and performs feasibility verification of the derived scenarios, including feasibility, user experience, and security efficiency.
The company anticipates that upon successful completion of this project, it will be able to provide fast and secure security screening services at future transportation infrastructure, such as airports and vertiports. Specifically, it is expected to generate diverse economic and social added value, including increasing passenger throughput without requiring terminal expansion, improving the operational efficiency of regional airports and vertiports, and upgrading security standards. Furthermore, by establishing an AI-based preventative security system to proactively detect and block potential threats, it is anticipated to establish a proactive security paradigm that evolves beyond the traditional post-accident response approach.
Director Cheon Ki-cheol, who is in charge of research at Sight AI, said, “Through this project, Sight AI’s facial recognition identity authentication, behavior analysis, and forgery detection technologies will contribute to the localization and advancement of advanced security screening systems.” He added, “In particular, by preemptively securing security infrastructure capabilities for future transportation environments, we will establish new competitiveness and lay the foundation for entering the global market.”
