ENGINEERINGNET.EU -- The world’s fastest train scanner produces images of a good quality while the train is moving with a speed of up to 60 kilometres per hour.
For comparaison: conventional installations in other countries only allow for train speeds of up to 30 kilometres.
Dutch customs selects containers on the basis of a risk analysis. The scanner checks trains out of the European hinterland into the port of Rotterdam. Here, the containers are loaded on vessels for export outside the European Union.
The scanning installation is located at the Maasvlakte area, near the Steinweg Steel Terminal. (source: Dutch Ministry of Finance /Customs) (picture : Havenbedrijf Rotterdam)
