A Method and System for Dynamically Optimizing the Security of Persons Gathered in Bounded Spaces

 

Invention Summary:

This technology provides for a modified security system that optimizes security for people gathered in a bounded or enclosed spaces. By implementing a sophisticated algorithm, the technology ensures that large numbers of persons entering a venue have been screened to an acceptable standard, while minimizing inconvenience to those persons.  Furthermore, the technology achieves these goals in a way that makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for an adversary to exploit variations in the screening process.

The technology integrates input from multiple security systems to reduce crowds at screening entrances of unscreened people, who may be vulnerable to attack. Thus, the technology provides an overall reduction of soft targets while preventing adversaries from being able to determine which access points are less highly protected than others.

Market Applications:

  • Stadiums and Concert Venues
  • Airports and Transportation Hubs
  • Large Public Gatherings and Events
  • Critical Infrastructure Protection

Advantages:

  • Optimizes security for large crowds in enclosed spaces
  • Minimizes inconvenience during the screening process
  • Prevents adversaries from exploiting variations in the screening process
  • Reduces crowds at screening entrances enhancing overall security.
