Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a security system for prisoner transport vehicles that ensures safe and secure transport of prisoners by minimizing risks associated with escape attempts, violent incidents, and unauthorized actions, providing controlled transit conditions to enhance security measures during prisoner movement, reduce reliance on manual intervention, and improve overall safety for both prisoners and security personnel.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The requirement for security in prisoner transport vehicles arises from the critical need to ensure safe, controlled, and reliable transfer of prisoners while preventing risks to law enforcement personnel, the public, and the prisoners themselves. Conventional transport methods rely heavily on manual supervision, which is prone to errors, delays, and lapses in vigilance. Users often face challenges such as attempted escapes, violent incidents inside the vehicle, unauthorized access to exit points, difficulty in continuously monitoring prisoner behavior, and threats from external attacks. Additionally, ensuring timely response to emergencies and maintaining security in dynamic environments is difficult, highlighting the need for an automated system that enhances monitoring, control, and overall safety during transit.

[0003] Existing systems for prisoner transport vehicles are largely limited to reinforced cages, manual locks, surveillance cameras, and GPS tracking units, which provide basic safety but suffer from significant drawbacks. Reinforced cages and manual locks restrict movement but does not prevent violent incidents or detect abnormal behavior in real time. Surveillance cameras only allow monitoring and require constant human supervision, making them ineffective for immediate automated responses. GPS units provide location tracking but do not address internal threats such as escapes or prisoner violence. Moreover, most available systems lack automation and adaptability, leaving users dependent on manual intervention, which increases risks, delays emergency response, and reduces overall security effectiveness during prisoner transit.

[0004] US5080416A discloses a pre-fabricated kit for the assembly of a portable prisoner module which is adaptable to use in a conventional van-type vehicle. The kit comprises a series of panels which, when assembled in such a vehicle, forms a box-like container with visual communication between the interior of the container and the van drivers compartment and a rear door unit providing ingress to and egress from the interior of the container. The kit contains two door units, one with a single door and the other with dual side by side doors and a divider for use with the latter. When the divider and the dual-door unit are utilized, the module is divided into two compartments to which access is permitted selectively and individually.

[0005] US20090102271A1 discloses a prisoner seat security device includes a retractable strap which attaches to a prisoner, preferably by a restraint device on the prisoner, such as hand-cuffs. As the prisoner sits in the seat, the strap retracts. The officer can then lock the retraction mechanism so that the strap will not extend and the prisoner is held in place. When it is desired for the prisoner to get out of the chair, the lock is released, allowing the prisoner to stand and the strap to be disconnected.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems are available in the market for providing security to the vehicles transporting prisoners. However, these cited inventions lack to provide real-time detection of threats and abnormal behavior and comprehensive control over prisoner movement. Additionally, these existing inventions also lack to provide protection against unauthorized exit attempts and continuous data recording for post-incident analysis, leaving significant gaps in ensuring safe and controlled prisoner transport.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of monitoring prisoner behavior and vehicle conditions in real time and automatically responding to threats for controlling the movements of the prisoner. In addition, the developed system also needs to be capable of preventing unauthorized access and maintaining a secure database for incident analysis for enhancing overall safety, security, and operational efficiency during prisoner transport.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

[0009] An object of the present invention is to develop a system that provides safe transport of prisoners by minimizing risks of escape, violent incidents, and unauthorized actions for ensuring secure and controlled transit.

[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a system that detect threats and abnormal behavior in real time for enhancing monitoring accuracy and improving overall security inside the vehicle.

[0011] Yet another object of the present invention is to develop a system that automatically responds to detected threats by effectively controlling prisoner movement and securely preventing unauthorized access to exit points during vehicle transit operations.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a security system for prisoner transport vehicles that ensures safe transport of prisoners to secure and controlled transit, and provide automatic response to detected threats by controlling prisoner movement and securely preventing unauthorized access to exit points during vehicle transit operations.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a security system for prisoner transport vehicles is illustrated, comprising a containment cage unit 101 mounted on a ceiling portion of a prisoner transport vehicle via a motorized dual-axis slider 102, the containment cage unit 101 includes a set of collapsible rectangular sheets 103 supported by telescopic arms 104 and a motorized cascade assembly 105, a pair of telescopic push-plate units housed on opposing sidewalls of the prisoner compartment, each comprising linear actuator-driven telescopic links 106.

[0023] Figure 1 further illustrates a push plate 107 attached to the telescopic links 106 a gate blocker unit integrated within the transport vehicle, comprises of a set of telescopic barrier rods 108 housed within wall-mounted cabinets 109 installed on both sides of the rear exit doors, a vehicle shielding unit integrated on the vehicle, comprises a plurality of motorized rollers 110 wrapped with a sheet formed from from Kevlar-composite material and a high-power LED (light emitting diode) spotlight 111 mounted on a motorized telescopic pole 112 and pan-tilt rotary gimbal 113 on the vehicle roof.

[0024] The system disclosed in the present invention includes a containment cage unit 101 mounted on a ceiling portion of a prisoner transport vehicle. The containment cage is mounted via a motorized dual-axis slider 102 to enable smooth movement along both X and Y axes within the vehicle. The cage unit 101 includes a set of collapsible rectangular sheets 103 supported by telescopic arms 104 and a motorized cascade assembly 105, enabling compact storage when not in use and rapid deployment when needed.

[0025] A processing module of the system is connected to the engine control unit (ECU) of the prisoner transport vehicle. When the vehicle ignition is turned on, the processing module is automatically activated, enabling it to control and coordinate the operation of all integrated security components, ensuring the system is fully operational during transit.

[0026] A monitoring module is installed inside the vehicle for real-time detection of concealed items, suspicious behavior, and emotional distress of prisoners. The monitoring module comprises an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit synchronized with proximity and optical sensors to enhance threat detection accuracy. The processing unit then activates the proximity and optical sensors to confirm movements within the vehicle.

[0027] Optical and proximity sensors work together to detect movements within the prisoner transport vehicle by continuously monitoring the environment and changes in position. Optical sensors, such as infrared detectors, capture visual or infrared images and track changes in light patterns, shapes, or motion, identifying prisoner movements or unusual behavior. Proximity sensors emit signals and measure the time taken by the signals to bounce back after hitting an object, detecting the presence, distance, and movement of prisoners within a defined area. When combined, the optical and proximity sensors provide real-time data to the processing unit.

[0028] Based on the detected movements within the vehicle, the processing unit activates the imaging unit to confirm the presence of concealed items, suspicious behavior, and emotional distress of prisoners. The imaging unit comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the inner portion of the vehicle and the captured images are stored within a memory of the imaging unit in form of an optical data. The imaging unit also comprises of a processor that employ computer vision and deep learning protocols, including object detection, segmentation, and edge detection, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and evaluates the presence of concealed items, suspicious behavior, and emotional distress of prisoners.

[0029] The processing unit is operatively linked with the monitoring module and is configured to actuate the dual-axis slider 102 and containment cage unit 101, upon detection of unwanted movements within the vehicle to position the cage directly above a targeted prisoner for securely encapsulating the prisoner.

[0030] Based on the determined location of the prisoner, the processing unit actuates the slider 102 to position the cage unit 101 above the prisoner. The dual-axis slider 102 involves two perpendicular rails: a main rail for horizontal movement and a secondary cross rail for vertical movement. The slider 102 installed between the cage unit 101 and the ceiling portion of the vehicle consist of a sliding rail and a motorized slidable member connected to the sliding rail. The motorized slidable member is attached to the cage unit 101 and sliding rail on both sides to make the cage unit 101 slide. The slidable member is attached to a motor which provides movement to the member in dual-axis to position the cage unit 101 as per the requirement.

[0031] As the cage unit 101 is positioned, the processing unit actuates the cascading assembly 105 to engage the sheets 103 for deploying the cage. The cascading slider 102 operates through multiple interlinked sliding stages arranged sequentially, allowing smooth two-dimensional movement along X and Y axes. Each stage is motorized and controlled by the processing unit, which regulates speed, direction, and stopping points. When deployed, the first stage moves along a primary axis, triggering subsequent stages to move along secondary axes, enabling accurate alignment within confined spaces. In a prisoner transport vehicle, the cascading assembly 105 allows the containment cage to be positioned precisely above the targeted prisoner for secure encapsulation.

[0032] Upon deploying the cage, the processing unit actuates the telescopic arms 104 to extend and position the cage over the targeted prisoner, allowing secure encapsulation of targeted prisoners in emergency situations. The telescopic arms 104 are powered by a pneumatic unit that includes an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the arms 104. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder from one end, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the arms 104 and due to applied pressure, the arms 104 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the arms 104 by pushing compressed air via the other end of the cylinder, by opening the corresponding valve resulting in retraction of the piston, and the retraction of the arms 104. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the arms 104 to position cage over the targeted prisoner.

[0033] A pair of telescopic push-plate units is housed within wall-mounted cabinets 109 on opposing sidewalls of the prisoner compartment. Each push-plate unit comprises linear actuator-driven telescopic links 106, mounted on guided rails for deploying the push plate 107 against the cage. The processing unit also commands the telescopic push-plate 107 units to extend in response to detected aggressive or suspicious behavior, safely repositioning prisoners within the vehicle and directing the targeted prisoner beneath the descending containment cage for secure entrapment.

[0034] The guided rails consist of a sliding rail and a motorized slidable member connected to the sliding rail. The motorized slidable member is attached to the telescopic links 106 and sliding rail on both sides to make the telescopic links 106 slide. The slidable member is attached to a motor which provides movement to the member in a bi-directional manner to position the push plate 107.

[0035] As the push plates 107 are position in alignment with the cage, the processing unit actuates the telescopic links 106, to press the plates 107 against the cage to prevent movement of the cage by the prisoner. The linear actuator converts the rotational motion into linear motion, allowing for straight-line movement of the telescopic links 106. The linear actuator preferably consists of a motor, a lead screw or belt, and a sliding component. When the motor is activated, the lead screw is rotated, causing the sliding component to move along a fixed path. The motion is either in one direction (extension) or the opposite (retraction), depending on the requirements. Linear actuator is powered by electricity and is used to press the push plates 107 against the cage.

[0036] The push-plate units are designed with spring-dampers and cushioned pads to provide controlled and gradual movement when repositioning prisoners within the vehicle. The spring-dampers absorb sudden forces, while the cushioned pads reduce direct pressure on the prisoner’s body, ensuring smooth operation, minimizing discomfort, and preventing potential injuries for maintaining safety and security during automated prisoner handling.

[0037] The spring-dampers combine a spring and a damping element to control motion and absorb energy during movement. The spring stores mechanical energy when compressed or stretched, providing a restoring force that opposes displacement. The damper, usually a pneumatic piston, dissipates kinetic energy by resisting motion through fluid or air, reducing oscillations and sudden impacts. Together, the spring and the damper ensure smooth, controlled movement by absorbing shocks and vibrations, preventing abrupt forces from being transmitted to the prisoner that is being moved.

[0038] A gate blocker unit is integrated within the transport vehicle to secure the interior of exit doors by blocking unauthorized opening during transit. The gate blocker unit comprises telescopic barrier rods 108 flush-mounted within sidewall cabinets 109 on both sides of the rear exit doors. In case, the monitoring module detects unauthorized entry or exist, a signal is transmitted to the processing unit to actuates the telescopic barrier rods 108 to automatically extend for blocking the exit door, preventing unauthorized egress and enhancing security during transit.

[0039] The barrier rods 108 are operated through a pneumatic actuator that is powered by the pneumatic unit associated with the system. The extension/retraction of the rods 108 works in the similar manner as mentioned above.

[0040] A vehicle shielding unit is integrated on the vehicle to provide impact-resistant protection around the perimeter. The roof shielding unit comprises a plurality of motorized rollers 110 wrapped with Kevlar-composite sheets. The rollers 110 are actuated by the processing unit to deploy sheets along the side walls of the vehicle, creating an immediate protective barrier against external threats.

[0041] The motorized roller 110 consists of a DC motor that provides the power to wind and unwind the Kevlar-composite sheets. The Kevlar-composite sheets are wound around the shaft of the roller 110 that is connected to the motor through a drive assembly consisting of a series of spur gears connected to the rotating shaft of the motor to ensure the rotation of the shaft when the motor operates. One end of the Kevlar-composite sheets is fixed to the shaft, while the other end is free. When the roller 110 moves in an anti-clockwise direction, the Kevlar-composite sheets start unwinding from the free end.

[0042] A multi-layered sensor suite is integrated within the vehicle to detect threats and monitor environmental and mechanical conditions. The sensor suite includes piezo resistive pressure sensors embedded in shielding sheets for detecting abnormal external forces, inertial measurement units on mechanically movable components to monitor motion dynamics, stereo camera arrays for 3D depth perception and AI-based image analysis, and LIDAR and ultrasonic sensors installed internally and externally for precise environmental scanning.

[0043] The piezo resistive pressure sensors embedded in shielding sheets work by generating electrical signals when external forces or impacts deform the sensor material, allowing the system to detect abnormal pressure or tampering. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) on movable components track acceleration, orientation, and vibration, providing real-time feedback on motion dynamics and system stability. Stereo camera arrays capture images from two slightly offset viewpoints, enabling 3D depth perception, while AI-based image analysis detects prisoner movements, suspicious behavior, or obstacles. LIDAR sensors emit laser pulses and measure reflection times to map distances accurately, and ultrasonic sensors use sound waves for precise internal and external environmental scanning, collectively ensuring comprehensive monitoring.

[0044] The processing unit evaluates real-time data from the sensor suite to determine potential threats or abnormal conditions. Based on this analysis, the processing unit controls the containment cage unit 101 to secure targeted prisoners, operates the gate blocker unit to prevent unauthorized exit, and deploys the vehicle shielding unit as needed, ensuring enhanced safety and security during prisoner transport operations.

[0045] A high-power LED spotlight 111 is mounted on a motorized telescopic pole 112 with a pan-tilt rotary gimbal 113 on the vehicle roof. The spotlight 111 is dynamically aimed to illuminate areas of interest based on threats detected sensing suite for improving visibility and situational awareness during operations.

[0046] The pan-tilt rotary gimbal 113 is actuated by the processing unit to align the spotlight 111 as per the requirement. The pan-tilt rotary gimbal 113 works by providing two or more rotational axes preferably pan (horizontal) and tilt (vertical) allowing precise orientation of the spotlight 111. Motors control each axis independently, enabling the gimbal 113 to rotate the spotlight 111 horizontally and vertically. The encoders provide feedback on the current position, allowing the processing unit to adjust angles dynamically and maintain accurate targeting.

[0047] The LED spotlight 111 is made from semiconductor materials which have properties that allow them to emit light. The LED spotlight 111 contains a p-n junction, where a p-type region is positively charged and an n-type region is negatively charged. When voltage is applied, electrons from the n-region move towards the p-region, and holes from the p-region move towards the n-region. As the electrons move across the p-n junction, they recombine with the holes. During this process, the electrons lose energy, and this energy is released in the form of photons (light).

[0048] The processing unit is further configured to receive real-time geolocation data from an integrated GPS module, enabling continuous monitoring of the vehicle’s position along predefined routes and triggering alerts upon detection of route deviations or unauthorized stoppages. The processing unit is also integrated with a secure onboard database to store historical data, including sensor readings, detected threats, prisoner behavior records, system activations, and geolocation logs, enabling post-incident analysis and continuous security performance improvement.

[0049] The alerts are transmitted to a computing of a concerned authority taking care of the transportation operation remotely. The alerts are transmitted to concerned authorities through a communication module linked with the processing unit. The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to smartphone, laptop, tablet.

[0050] The communication module mentioned herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication module used in the device is preferably the Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi module enables wireless communication by transmitting and receiving data over radio frequencies using IEEE 802.11 protocols. It connects to a network via an access point, converting digital data into radio signals. The module processes TCP/IP protocols for data exchange, interfaces with microcontrollers through UART/SPI, and ensures encrypted communication using WPA/WPA2 security standards for secure and efficient wireless connectivity.

[0051] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the system operates by continuously monitoring the prisoner transport vehicle through the multi-layered sensor suite, including piezo resistive pressure sensors, inertial measurement units, stereo camera arrays, and LIDAR and ultrasonic sensors, while the monitoring module detects concealed items, suspicious behavior, and emotional distress, and the processing unit analyzes the real-time data to control the dual-axis slider 102 and containment cage unit 101, positioning it precisely above targeted prisoners, while the telescopic push-plate units safely reposition prisoners, the gate blocker unit secures exit doors, the vehicle shielding unit deploys Kevlar-composite sheets, the high-power LED spotlight 111 adjusts via the pan-tilt rotary gimbal 113 to illuminate areas of interest, and the GPS-integrated processing unit logs geolocation and system activity, ensuring automated, responsive, and secure prisoner transport.
