An advanced X-Ray training platform designed to meet EU legislative requirements. It streamlines compliance tracking and simplifies management, modernising aviation security training.
TTC provide aviation security and dangerous goods training and consultancy led by an expert team recognised in the UK and internationally.
The core platform is built in Go, with the frontend in React 18. We made great use of Canvas for the image processing for this project.
Going through airport security, you may not have questioned how the people assessing the X-Ray images of your bags are trained.
Well, let me introduce X-Ray Simulators!
An X-Ray Simulator is a piece of software that shows generated images of X-Rays, where users are tested on their accuracy in reporting dangerous items. An image will come along, and they have to decide if it warrants a search, or is immediately identifiable as a threat.
These systems however, like a lot of enterprise software haven’t had a lot of love when it comes to user experience. That’s what TTC wanted to change. To build an X-Ray simulator that removes the pain points they’ve seen through their experience in multiple Aviation Security focused businesses:
UK& EU Law on this type of screening, enforces 6 hours of simulator training in every 6 months.
This makes it super important to see at a glance if all a companies screeners are compliant (See PDF reporting below!)
Simulator training is mandatory. Any training we’re required to do needs to have as little friction as possible to make it enjoyable.
Paying incredibly close attention to what users and managers want is very important to have a step up on the competition here.
TTC had users they wanted to get onto the platform straight away.
Our aim was to build a fully functional system, in a short space of time that left space new features that would arise after getting feedback from the initial user base.
Working with TTC, Alex and I designed and built a platform focused around the core goals of our users. For screeners, thats completing their mandatory training. For managers, thats keeping the screeners they manage compliant with the regulations.
Screeners now know exactly how much training they have to complete for this month, and get to use a modern platform with icons they recognise from the X-Ray machines they’re used to.
Now next time you’re wandering through security at Heathrow, you’ll know exactly how X-Ray screeners maintain their training.
