The challenge: For its new East Terminal, Geneva International Airport must implement the necessary security measures while maintaining the ultramodern and open architecture. Among the various security measures, anti-return control is essential. This is to ensure that no passenger go back in the direction of the plane during the disembarkation procedure. Given the architecture of the new terminal, the traditional solutions based on metallic structures are not suitable. The anti-return control must be carried out by a system that does not require any additional metallic structure and that can be integrated perfectly into the architecture of the new terminal. Finally, flexible use according to operational needs must be possible.

The solution: The SMACS has the characteristics that meet the specifications. Invisibly integrated into the architecture of the new terminal, the SMACS perform anti-return control of passenger flows without requiring additional metallic infrastructure. Harmonious integration with other safety systems is also in granted.
