ASSESSMENT OF THE PASSENGER SECURITY SCREENING PROCESS USING A VIRTUAL REALITY SIMULATOR

Passenger security screening is a necessary process carried out at the airport that affects the safety and capacity of the airport. Every person entering the restricted airport area must undergo a security check. The security control operator conducts training to detect prohibited items appropriately. Currently, training of security control operators is carried out in various ways, e.g., using electronic support systems. The author's proposal concerns using an innovative passenger security control simulator built using virtual reality technology. The author researched the effectiveness of passenger security screening at the airport. Indicators have been used in the VR simulator to assess the passenger screening process. The article aims to present an assessment of the security control process using an innovative VR simulator.
