Vanguard rapidly and accurately validates airline passenger documentation at the outbound control point, controlling airside access and giving an immediate Go/No Go decision that enhances airport security and complies with government regulations for Home Printed Boarding Cards. Designed to deal with even the busiest airports, Vanguard keeps passengers moving at a critical pinch point.
The recent explosion in Web check-in has seen more and more passengers arrive at the airport carrying mobile or home printed boarding cards (HPBC), allowing them to bypass the normal check-in process and proceed straight to security.
Vanguard helps you maintain airport security and ensures you comply with legislation by quickly and accurately validating the passenger documentation to control airside access.
Still have legacy magnetic stripe airline stock? Vanguard has full support for ATB2 documents, meaning you can scan every individual, regardless of how they checked in.
Vanguard has full support for both Domestic and International traffic, implementing stringent cross-checks for common travel areas to identify valid passengers, and restrict access to the relevant piers.
For added security, Vanguard can also be combined with image capture or biometric devices to make sure the individual presenting the document is the person you expect, and prevent documents being swapped in controlled areas.
Understanding passenger traffic patterns and managing resources are a constant challenge for airports. Vanguard helps ease the burden by providing comprehensive statistics and Business Intelligence modules to help you monitor and analyse the traffic through your airport.
From queuing times in individual lanes, to airside dwell intervals, Vanguard puts you in control.
Do you know where your passengers go once airside? Vanguard can help you find out, with support for passenger touch points that will record the journey taken through the airport facility - from retail outlets to lounges, you'll know where your passengers go.
Vanguard can even remove the guesswork at the gate for airlines, providing a secure look-up for authorised personnel so they can see if a missing passenger is at the airport.
Vanguard can be linked to self-service gates, helping increase capacity at the control point while reducing the overhead on security staff. Passengers simply scan their own documents to open the Vanguard controlled doors!
