Perimeter Protection/Intrusion Detection<br />
can clearly identify license plates.<br />
AXIS Communications and Panasonic<br />
have provided fixed and PTZ<br />
cameras, and the airport has plans<br />
to have all IP cameras when the new<br />
expansion is completed in 2018.<br />
Additional cameras and video<br />
surveillance/access control are managed<br />
by the Canadian Air Transport<br />
Security Authority (CATSA), a Federal<br />
Canadian organization based in<br />
Ottawa, ON.<br />
During a walking tour of the airport,<br />
Messrs. Robin and Labrosse<br />
included a visit to the new baggage<br />
management facility under the terminal,<br />
and its<br />
first in North<br />
America<br />
direct coded<br />
vehicle<br />
technology,<br />
which can<br />
track a bag<br />
anywhere so<br />
that no bags<br />
are lost as they go through the various<br />
levels of threat detection. If the<br />
threat is serious, the next stop is the<br />
Emergency Control Center operated<br />
by the Duty Manager, who calls<br />
in the police if necessary.<br />
In special baggage transportation<br />
technology from Provectus Robotics<br />
solutions (PRS), a Canadian robotics<br />
company, suspicious bags are<br />
automatically evacuated to the other<br />
end of the airport for police investigation.<br />
Prior to this technology’s<br />
deployment, the entire airport had<br />
to be evacuated while waiting hours<br />
for police to arrive. With the help of<br />
a radio-guided vehicle, suspicious<br />
bags can now be safely and immediately<br />
removed from the airport and<br />
no evacuations of passengers or airport<br />
staff are necessary.<br />
Will the Jean-Lesage de Quebec<br />
International Airport meet its goal<br />
of 2-million passengers by 2018?<br />
The answer is not yet known of<br />
course, but the Airport has continued<br />
to grow and evolve its unified<br />
security and operations with the<br />
Genetec Security Center over the<br />
past ten years. Combine that with<br />
a security team in charge of day-today<br />
security operations that must<br />
constantly scale to meet the needs<br />
20<br />
of expanding access control and increasing<br />
video surveillance cameras,<br />
and it starts to look very much like<br />
a prospect that we wouldn’t want to<br />
bet against.<br />
