A Multi-Lane/Multi-Gate UVIS provides centralized management for vehicle inspection and Tracking

2026-02-07 By CPUVIS Team

CPAS ML/MG from CommPort Technologies is a centralized, networked management platform designed to support multi-lane under-vehicle inspection operations. It connects multiple inspection lanes to a common system, enabling centralized monitoring, image review, and operational control.

CPAS ML/MG captures undercarriage images in real-time with full frame of high-definition resolution at the time of inspection. It can be scaled to support varying numbers of lanes and can integrate with complementary systems such as license plate recognition (LPR), and access control barriers, depending on site requirements. 

What Are The Main Multi-Lane Inspection Challenges?

Poor Vehicle Flow Maintaining Vehicle Flow At 

At busy airports or shipping ports, queue configuration and restricted lane access often prevents efficient first come-first served processing. During peak traffic periods, this ends up taking more time. Congested entry points, operational delays and more can also impact passenger movement and cargo schedules. With a lack of centralized monitoring framework, operators are required to manage fragmented workflows, manually coordinate between lanes, and make time-sensitive decisions with limited situational awareness.

Reducing Delays or disruptions in daily traffic flow 

Security screening at airports and seaports gets particularly demanding due to continuous vehicle movement, peak-hour congestion, and strict compliance requirements. Ensuring that every vehicle is inspected thoroughly, without disrupting operations, requires systems that support coordinated, high-throughput inspection workflows rather than isolated lane-by-lane monitoring.

Reducing Dependency on Security Personnel

In addition, simultaneous inspections across multiple lanes increase the burden on security personnel. Without manageable visibility, it becomes difficult to respond quickly to congestion, reassign operator attention, or maintain consistent inspection standards. Processes such as secondary inspections or hazardous material checks can further slow vehicle throughput when coordination across lanes is limited. This is why CPAS ML/MG is now a requirement for facilities that want to skip these hurdles and delays. 

How Does CommPort’s CPAS ML/MG Solve These Issues? 

The CommPort CPAS ML/MG (Multi-Lane/Multi-Gate) UVIS system is designed to address these challenges by providing centralized management and oversight of multiple inspection lanes from a single control environment. CommPort’s CPAS UVIS is a complete inspection system consisting of an area scan camera, monitor, industrial PC, license plate reader camera, driver image camera, LED lighting, and associated hardware and software modules. 

Rather than altering how individual lanes capture under-vehicle images, CPAS ML/MG UVIS consolidates inspection data from all connected systems into a unified interface, which then allows operators to view, analyze and compare images in real time. Hence, supporting consistent under-carriage inspection procedures and more efficient traffic handling across all lanes.  

Centralized Operations & Availability

Centralized multi-lane management improves situational awareness by allowing operators to oversee all inspection lanes simultaneously. This reduces reliance on manual inspection and enables faster responses to congestion, inspection anomalies or operational disruptions.

Better Vehicle Flow

By consolidating inspection workflows, CPAS ML/MG UVIS helps facilities maintain vehicle flow while ensuring that all inspections are conducted according to established security standards.

Reduced Dependency on Staff

Reduced staffing needs for monitoring, databases for audits, and seamless integration with existing barriers, RFID, and LPR technology, all while minimizing false positives that plague manual checks.

Scalability Across Sites

CPAS scales effortlessly from dual-lane terminals to 50-lane port complexes, supporting modular additions for growing traffic. The ecosystem ties into broader CommPort Technologies offerings like Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)  for license plate recognition, creating a layered defense that anticipates threats proactively. 

AI-Driven Features

Detect threats instantly via AI-driven anomaly flagging, and re-route suspicious vehicles without halting overall flow. By utilizing AI, under vehicle inspectors can more efficiently identify hidden threats and safety hazards as well as maintenance issues. 

Including New Methods of Vehicle Tracking & Geographic Monitoring

The CPAS ML/MG system creates new methods of tracking vehicles inside secure compounds or security bases where multiple entry points are utilized. With CPAS ML/MG is it now an option to track both entry and exit points to insure no anomalies occurred while inside the secure area. Vehicles and drivers tracked and recorded at one entry point can easily be checked at another exit point to ensure the same driver and vehicle are recorded. In addition, by adding the CPAS AI systems, companies or security personnel can now create a “fast lane” entry point where existing tracking information can be confirmed more quickly.

Final Say 

The essence of CPAS ML/MG UVIS lies in its hardware-software synergy, combining high-resolution area scan cameras and LPR technology with an intelligent centralized hub. It has revolutionized the way undervehicle inspection systems have worked for the last decade. This new and futuristic technology is now progressing to make more efficient ways to surveil undercarriage vehicles at airports, ports, government facilities, military bases, shopping malls and more. 

By focusing on centralized oversight rather than isolated lane operations, CommPort’s CPAS ML/MG UVIS facilities can reduce congestion, improve inspection efficiency, and maintain secure, compliant operations in demanding, high-throughput environments.
