Case Study: Kassel Airport achieves reliable airfield access monitoring with Blickfeld 3D LiDAR

Kassel Airport improves 60-meter airfield access monitoring with Blickfeld

Kassel Airport needed a reliable way to monitor a key airfield access point without using physical barriers. Their existing camera-based system was ineffective, generating frequent false alarms due to weather conditions like rain and glare and failing to detect aircraft. To address these challenges, the airport partnered with Siemens to implement a 3D LiDAR security solution from Blickfeld.

The Blickfeld LiDAR sensors provided a robust solution with a wide field of view and integrated analytics that accurately classify objects in 3D space. This eliminated false alarms from shadows and environmental factors while enabling directional detection to only alert on unauthorized crossings. The implementation led to a sharp decline in false alerts, significantly increasing reliability and reducing the workload for airport security personnel.
