Aviation & Transportation Security
Enhanced Protection and Compliance
Aviation and Transportation facilities – from Class I airports to smaller regional and private airports – are faced with an array of distinct security challenges and regulatory requirements. They must provide the traveling public with a safe and secure experience while ensuring a welcoming, comfortable environment that can accommodate the movement of large numbers of people.
LenelS2 solutions provide airport security while meeting the necessary aviation compliance mandates. Our access control systems feature over 200 integrations through the OpenAccess Alliance Program (OAAP) and an open API, ensuring any building area, such as a security identification display area (SIDA) or system, such as a criminal history record checks (CHRC), can be centrally managed. And our video management systems help provide building-wide surveillance to enhance situational awareness.

The main goal of aviation security is to prevent unlawful entry into secure building spaces by improving situational awareness through various access control systems.
Transportation security works to implement access control practices in transportation systems such as rail, transit, highway, and aviation systems.
Aviation security allows for the safe and efficient movement of people. Without transportation security, there runs the risk of unlawful entry into private spaces or terror attacks.
