Challenge Overview
TSA Pre✓™ is an expedited screening program that allows low-risk travelers to experience expedited, more efficient security screening. This queue line provides an expedited transit through airport security screening as TSA Pre✓™ passengers do not require the removal of shoes, 3-1-1 compliant liquids, jacket, belt, and may keep laptop in bag for screening.
TSA is looking for the Next Generation Checkpoint Queue Design Model to apply a scientific and simulation modeling approach to meet the dynamic security screening environment. The new queue design should include, but not be limited to the following queue lanes:
- TSA Pre✓™
- Standard
- Premier Passengers (1st class, business class, frequent fliers, etc.)
- Employee and Flight Crews
- PWD (wheelchair access)
The Challenge is to provide a simulation modeling concept that can form the basis to plan, develop requirements, and design a queue appropriately. The concept will be used to develop a model to be applied in decision analysis and to take in considerations of site specific requirements, peak and non-peak hours, flight schedules and TSA staffing schedules. Solvers are expected to provide the concept and provide evidence that it works as described in the requirements.
