- Inspects vehicles for threats with Z Backscatter™ imaging from three sides simultaneously - allowing for extremely high throughput
- Leading Z Backscatter technology to highlight organic threats and contraband that other systems miss - explosives, plastic weapons, and drugs
- Optional top-down transmission imaging and two-sided Forwardscatter imaging provides more thorough inspection
- Safe for operators, and subject vehicles and cargo, minimizing exclusion zones
Z PORTAL MULTI-VIEW CARGO AND VEHICLE SCREENING SYSTEM (RELOCATABLE)
AS&E’s Z Portal® is a multi-view, drive-through inspection system capable of scanning cars, vans, trucks, and their cargo for concealed threats and contraband.
The relocatable screening system is available in two sizes — one for large trucks, buses, and cargo vehicles; and a smaller size for passenger vehicles. Z Portal can be configured with up to three Z Backscatter™ imaging modules, allowing a left, right, and top view of the vehicle under examination. The multi-views provide maximum screening capability and facilitate image interpretation. The Z Portal system provides high-quality, photo-like images that offer outstanding material discrimination capability.
The Z Portal is a high-throughput screening gateway, allowing approximately 80 trucks or 120 passenger vehicles per hour. Driven at a speed of 5 kph, vehicles and their cargo are scanned for threats and illegal goods such as stowaways, explosives, drugs, and alcohol. With its compact design and profile, the Z Portal system is ideal for high-traffic locations with space constraints and a high-throughput requirement. The Z Portal system is safe for drivers, operators, cargo, and the environment.
TECHNOLOGY
The Z Portal employs Z Backscatter technology, which produces photo-like images of the contents of a container or vehicle, highlighting organic materials, such as explosives, illegal drugs, agricultural products, currency, and other contraband. Optional Forwardscatter imaging creates up to two additional side-view images of the scanned vehicles and cargo. This option offers a second ‘scatter’ perspective to display dense regions of scanned vehicles and cargo to identify potential anomalies.
Top-down transmission imaging is also available to provide inspectors with an additional view to increase detection in areas such as gas tanks, trunks, spare tires, and other dense areas of a vehicle. The top-down transmission option uses an existing x-ray source, so the system remains safe for drivers, cargo, and operators.
OPTIONS
Z Portal with top down view is a drive-through inspection system capable of scanning cars, vans, and trucks, for concealed threats and contraband. The relocatable screening system features both Z Backscatter imaging as well as Transmission imaging for superior detection of both organic and metallic contraband.
