Thruvision announced that its units will be deployed at Stratford Underground Station in East London for a trial aimed at detecting concealed knives. The five-day trial is part of a British Government effort to eliminate knife crime. Thruvision’s passive terahertz technology is already vetted and approved by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and is in operation with Los Angeles Metro. Other successful railway station trials have been completed in New York and Washington DC. Thruvision’s specialized technology will enable British Transport Police officers to identify concealed knives, without interfering with travel flow, eliminating the need for physical searches or pat-downs. Thruvision technology works by showing the size, shape and location of any concealed items that block a person’s body heat. Thruvision is completely safe, respectful and non-intrusive. It does not show any intimate body parts and it is impossible to tell an individual’s identity, gender, age or ethnicity from the images it produces.
