ADAPT - Autonomous Detection And Prevention of Trespass

Lead Participant: ARCHANGEL IMAGING LTD.

Abstract

The ADAPT (Autonomous Detection And Prevention of Trespass) autonomous trespass defeat system is produced by partners Archangel Imaging Ltd, Mandar Solutions Ltd and E-Bound AVX Ltd.
The ADAPT project will demonstrate how Artificial Intellignce (AI) based systems incorporating the latest sensor technology can make real benefits to railway platform safety and security. An autonomous sytem combining unintrusive ground and proximity sensors, coupled to verification from AI powered cameras, will demonstrate how cutting-edge technology can increase platform saftey and reduce the incidence of tresspass. The ADAPT standalone system is readily deployable to numerous locations, harvests power for its rechargeable batteries and provides alert messages to railway staff to allow human intervention. A deterrent system comprised of audible and visual warnings is incorporated into the system and is designed to deter and prevent incursions into areas that are either unsafe and/or off-limits to the general public. This technology has previously found use in systems designed to detect and protect wildlife in remote settings and to prevent theft from unattended buildings. Company descriptions follow:
