description An airport is a complex human-factors engineering system; it is composed of many elements interconnected with numerous internal relations with a strongly pronounced role of the human factor. One of specific tasks carried out by the airport managing entity (AME) is to configure the airport protection system (APS) so that to attain the expected level of confidence in the airport safety. The task consists in selection of infrastructure, technical equipment, allocation of personnel and financial means that are necessary to perform all functions of the APS. The paper discusses the elements that make up the APS that are both decision variables for the airport operator during the execution of the APS configuration tasks. Fuzzy APS analysis is proposed based on the model of dependency and impact of the individual components of the system at the level of airport security. This assessment will be expressed by the value of linguistic variable. The method to obtain this value would include an assessment of the effectiveness of the baggage inspection system, the passenger inspection system, the level of external protection and security culture. To illustrate the concept of the method, local models to assess the level of protection against unauthorized activities at the airport and to assess the effectiveness of the baggage inspection system are presented. The paper describes a method for obtaining parameters of trapezoidal membership functions which have been adopted for the linguistic variables “Napłotowy” and “Wykrywalność materiałów”. The proposed method of assessing the airport security system involves the construction of a hierarchical fuzzy inference system in which the outputs of the lower-level local models are inputs of higher-order local models. Such a system is being established. Preliminary analyzes show that the proposed approach can be effective as part of a system for supporting the airport operator in configuring APS.
