CANADIAN FIRM “WEIGHS” IN ON THE FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM

SASKATOON: Diverse data collecting technology provides an automated passenger and cargo traffic, control and security solution. The system can recognize over 4000 specific vehicle models, therefore able to detect an abnormally overweight vehicle. Possible high risk vehicles can then beflaggedand intercepted upon detection of a dramatic weight change without the need to stop every vehicle. This risk analysis database provides the necessary enhancement and control over all cargo and passenger vehicles entering the country.

Reading and measurement of moving vehicles is done through vehicle shape, real dimensions, and digital color images for visual verification. The system can determine the speed and axle weight of the vehicles as they pass through, as well as the license plate or container numbers. Weight control on specific vehicles, based on model and license plate numbers will avoid the introduction of explosives, weapons, or other materials. Switching of license plates on regular or stolen cars can also be swiftly detected by a model and license plate mismatch.

All of the obtained information can be electronically and/or graphically displayed and stored to optimize control and supervision activities. The design of this system is one that will allow ease of integration with other systems such as video surveillance. The surveillance can be adjusted to the flow of the traffic, allowing stop and go data collection when traffic is slow. Otherwise the continuous motion operation keeps traffic flowing by generating quick response, real time collection of data. The obtained information can be sent to mobile terminals used by individual inspectors. Each inspector is then made responsiblefor their involvement in any high risk events, reducing chance of corruption and abuse.
