FOCUS AREA: atmospheric ray tomography, drugs detection, drugs analysis, mobile scanners  

The number of shipped goods and parcels is growing with unstoppable speed. With more individual shipments, the means of logistics have changed from central locations to small logistics companies, postal agencies, airports, ports, private vehicles etc. However, the analysis and detection capabilities of such locations are very low, making it an easy target for transporting illicit goods.

The CosmoPort project will develop the next generation of scanner systems using Atmospheric Ray Tomography (ART). Such systems are equipped with an advanced Machine Learning-based risk assessment tool. As muon tomography itself is a technique already in use, the project will develop a mobile solution combined with Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning tools to enhance material and object classification for the first time ever.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101121379.
