Simulating an Scheduling Airport Security Checkpoints: Q-Learning-Based Allocation of Operators to Security Teams at an Airport Security Checkpoint

In this paper, we propose and analyze a q-learning-based approach for allocation of operators to security teams in order to improve operational efficiency of an airport security checkpoint. The research is composed of two parts. First, we develop an agent-based model capable of simulating an airport security checkpoint. Second, we introduce...

Online Agent-Based Aerial Patrol Planning for Wildlife Surveillance

Wildlife conservation efforts are constrained by a limited amount of resources available for surveillance activities. UAVs are used increasingly to assist rangers in patrol tasks. Effectively patrolling wildlife parks requires detailed knowledge of the environment and its threats, which is not always available. Previous work in Green Security...

Modelling and analysis of dynamic relations and trade-offs between security and efficiency in airport security operations

The two performance areas “security” and “efficiency” in airport security operations cannot be analyzed apart from each other, since influencing one has a large impact on the other. In this research agent-based modelling is used to analyze dynamic relations and trade-offs between security and efficiency within airport security operations....

Agent-based security risk assessment of the airport security system

The thought of being secure has been on the minds of people throughout history. Security is the protection against intended incidents. Intended incidents happen due to a result of a deliberate and planned act. Security systems are implemented in order to set up security precautions which have as main goal the protection of all assets present...
