Virtually everything we use or consume is delivered by truck and many of those trucks are en route to or from another country. This is true for every developed continent on earth.
So how can a country protect its borders from terrorists and smugglers looking to harm its inhabitants or to disrupt its way of life? One way is to screen suspicious vehicles‚ non-invasively‚ with high-energy linear accelerator-based systems from BIR. Only high-energy x-ray systems are capable of providing the detailed images needed to make accurate decisions on whether the contents of a vehicle match the driver’s paperwork.
The reliability of these systems is proven‚ and the clarity of the images versus those generated by competing technologies is unmatched. What’s more‚ BIR makes its own x-ray detectors in three different levels of resolution.
A high-energy system in Shenzhen‚ Peoples Republic of China‚ employing BIR detectors has screened over 170‚000 vehicles since it was installed in the 1990’s. Because ownership of the system has changed over time‚ images from those detectors can be found in literature from nearly every company in the cargo inspection industry—a testimony to the image quality and the detector’s reliability.
