Learn how Lavi's queue modernization helps TSA respond to heightened demand for lane access control, signage & wayfinding, and metrics capture.

Versatile Design

Top TSA brass gave Lavi a standing ovation for the organization and structural integrity of the new queues. It's never been so easy to set and modify paths.

Improved Traffic Flow

Retractable belts — the chosen barrier for adjusting to traffic demands — allow staff to quickly and easily extend queues, open up shortcuts, or close off lanes.

Orderly Pre-Fill Lanes

The implementation of pre-fill queues in front of each travel document checker further enhances efficiency, cutting wait times even more.

More Accurate Wait Times

Fixed-position magnetic stanchions create a consistent layout that helps airport personnel and sensor tracking systems accurately estimate wait times based on fill level.

Efficient Self-Sorting

With clear, unambiguous queue signage, passengers are able to quickly self-categorize at the queue entrances, rather than spend time in the wrong line or ask for staff assistance.

Happy Travelers

Airport representatives note calmer passenger flows and less aggressiveness in the queues. Passengers comment they like the "new, clean, organized" queue.
