ENTRANCE – Efficient risk-based inspection of freight crossing borders without disrupting business
The mission of ENTRANCE is to develop and validate a comprehensive user-based ENTRANCE Toolbox for riskbased non-intrusive inspection (NII) of cross-border freight movements, with particular focus on the EU Customs Union border. The aim of the ENTRANCE Toolbox is to enhance border security practitioners’ capabilities to protect society against a wide range of dangerous and illicit materials with minimum disruption of cross-border flow of goods. ENTRANCE will deliver five main results:
- Automated Risk Assessment, Threat Recognition and Information Sharing Platform (ENARTIS)
- Suite of Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) technologies for detecting contraband hidden in high-density cargo
- Enhanced relocatable unit for non-intrusive detection of wide number of threats including explosives, illicit drugs, chemical warfare agents, nuclear and radioactive materials (NR) and special nuclear materials (SNM) such as enriched uranium and plutonium
- Trans-European RPM network for passive detection of illicit nuclear and radioactive (NR) materials combining detection facilities of different types and technologies
- Novel high-speed RPM detection technology for passive detection of NR with minimal disturbance of flow.
The ENTRANCE Toolbox will be validated at the EU Customs Union border by five practitioner-led field trials chosen for their relevance, strategic position and feasibility.
The project is co-funded by EU Commission under Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
