PARAS 0045  Implementing Biometric Technology at Airports

This guidance is intended to assist airports and their stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding the potential use of biometrics for various functions at airports, including aviation worker access control and passenger processing.

PARAS 0034  Optimization of Airport Security Camera Systems

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to help airports refine and/or develop their video camera program and program goals; review the use of their existing camera and recording technology; make well-informed decisions when optimizing, expanding, upgrading, or replacing their video camera system; and ensure continued effectiveness and efficiency of these systems.

PARAS 0030  Guidance for Access Control System Transitions

This guidance document provides aviation professionals with considerations, pitfalls, and lessons learned during the Access Control System (ACS) selection, procurement, and implementation process. It includes information that applies to airports of various types and sizes that are considering replacing or upgrading their existing ACS, and aims to help reduce risks and costs associated with such an effort.

PARAS 0023  Exit Lane Strategies and Technology Applications

The primary purpose of this document is to assist airports in researching, designing, procuring, and installing exit lane technology. It is designed to assist airports in all stages of deploying exit lane solutions and includes discussions on planning considerations, operational factors, testing, maintenance, training, potential configurations, compliance, and capabilities of available technology types.

PARAS 0017  Access Control Card Technology Guidance

This document reflects the rapid evolution of security-related technology in the airport environment. Specifically, it covers the relatively narrow title field of access control cards. The guidance is intended to give the reader a working knowledge of the range of access control card technologies available, and the operational attributes and constraints of each, in order to aid in the selection of an appropriate upgrade or replacement technology.

PARAS 0010  Guidance for Protecting Access to Vital Systems Impacting Airport Security

Airports host systems—such as access control, video surveillance, and telecommunications—that are vital to airport security and critical to daily operations. Ironically, while these systems provide security to the entire airport environment, measures to protect them are often overlooked, which could result in critical failure. This guidebook attempts to address the issues affecting vital security systems and empower airport operators with information, guidelines, standards, toolkits, and templates to overcome this threat.
