Safe Air Traffic Thanks to Digital Signage

As of this week, there is no longer a global travel warning for most EU member states, the Schengen area and Great Britain. The borders between Germany and the neighbouring states are again passable without controls. Air traffic is also getting back on track, but under special security measures.

Keeping your distance, disinfecting your hands and wearing a protective mask – these are the standard hygiene measures currently in force at airport terminals in Germany. Just a few weeks ago there was talk of temperature screening and blocked rows of seats. However, the joint paper of the Federal Ministry of Transport and the transport industry associations makes no mention of these measures.

South Korea focuses on technology

South Korea uses robots and kiosks to take fever measurements quickly and efficiently. This country’s approach was already considered exemplary during the first months of the Corona pandemic. No wonder that the South Koreans are increasingly making use of technical aids to make travel safer. Contactless temperature screenings are intended to protect travellers from the spread of the virus. During these tests, a person stands in front of a check-in terminal and a thermal imaging camera measures the temperature. If the temperature is too high, contact is automatically made with the airline. Furthermore, hand disinfectant is sprayed without contact. In the future, kiosk systems and robots will be increasingly used to detect the extent to which the obligation to wear masks at the airport is observed.

Safety as the highest premise

The airlines themselves have a great interest in fully resuming air traffic due to the high economic pressure. However, this can only be achieved if all hygiene measures are taken into account. At the same time, passenger confidence must be regained. In order to successfully master this tightrope walk, airports must implement the legal regulations in the best possible way and adapt the processes as quickly as possible.
