robusT Risk basEd Screening and alert System for PASSengers and luggage

Project description

Novel innovative border management solution

In light of recent crises across Europe and worldwide, along with numerous border conflicts and illicit activities, the need for advanced technologies for border monitoring and screening has become paramount. In this context, the EU-funded TRESSPASS project will develop a solution that aims to effectively combat border-related crimes and various other significant threats while also integrating with other risk-based border management systems. The project’s approach involves the development of an innovative border management solution, which will be showcased through three pilot programmes and simulations. The outcome will empower authorities to effectively screen and monitor potential instances of smuggling, terrorism, cross-border crimes and more.

Objective

With regards to modalities, TRESSPASS project includes air, maritime and land (including car and train) border crossing points, and specifically also travel routes that combine different modalities. It excludes border crossings outside of border crossing points, such as happens with boats of refugees on the Mediterranean. With regards to threats, this includes smuggling, irregular immigration, cross border crime, and terrorism, including threats to the transport itself (so, including e.g. aviation security – per the topic text). It excludes other threats such as posed by state-actors. This proposal includes all tiers of the four-tier access model: (1) measures undertaken in, or jointly with third countries or service providers; (2) cooperation with neighbouring countries; (3) border control and counter-smuggling measures, and (4) control measures within the area of free movement.

TRESSPASS will
(1) develop a single cohesive risk-based border management concept
(2) develop three pivoting pilot demonstrators
(3) demonstrate the validity of the single cohesive risk-based border management concept by using red teaming and simulations
(4) prepare for the further development of this concept beyond this project by linking to other known risk-based border management projects (in- and outside EU, within EU research frameworks and on national levels), and describe how their results contribute to a single cohesive risk-based border management concept
