Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a security management system for public transit stations to streamline passenger and luggage screening at public transit stations, enhancing safety for efficient, real-time monitoring, detection, and threat assessment, ensuring a secure and smooth transit experience for both passengers and staff.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Security management in public transit stations is crucial due to the high volume of passengers and the potential threats posed by terrorism, crime, and other safety risks. Public transportation systems are often targeted due to their accessibility and dense crowds, making them vulnerable to various security breaches. Effective security management ensures the safety of passengers, staff, and infrastructure by implementing strategies like screening, surveillance, and emergency response planning. It involves integrating advanced technologies, such as automated threat detection systems, baggage scanners, and facial recognition, to monitor and identify potential threats in real time. Additionally, security management in public transit stations helps build public confidence, encouraging greater use of these services while mitigating risks of disruptions and delays. Timely responses to suspicious activities, along with well-trained personnel, are vital to preventing incidents that could have far-reaching consequences. By maintaining a robust security framework, transit authorities can safeguard the well-being of travelers, ensure smooth operations, and prevent catastrophic events that could harm public safety and trust.

[0003] Traditional methods of security management in public transit stations typically involve manual screening processes, such as bag checks, metal detectors, and security personnel physically inspecting passengers and luggage. While these methods provide a level of security, they are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. Manual checks can lead to delays, long queues, and frustration among passengers, reducing the overall efficiency of the transit system. Moreover, relying heavily on personnel increases the risk of inconsistencies in threat detection, as human judgment can vary and may overlook potential risks. Traditional security measures may also fail to adapt to evolving threats, leaving public transit systems vulnerable to newer, more sophisticated forms of attacks. The lack of integration between various security systems further limits real-time monitoring and coordination. Additionally, these methods tend to be resource-intensive, requiring substantial investments in staff, equipment, and maintenance, making it difficult for transit authorities to maintain optimal security without substantial financial and logistical challenges. This highlights the need for more advanced, automated security solutions.

[0004] US9947155B2 discloses an access control system and method for monitoring a public access point. The system includes a positioning unit that tracks locations of users carrying user devices relative to the public access point, where the user devices transmit user information identifying the users via wireless signals. The system determines whether the users are authorized to pass through the access point based on the wireless signals from the user devices. Public access points include security checkpoints at government buildings, airports, amusement parks, and universities, in examples. In embodiments, biometric identifiers are obtained from the users when the users are preferably located within a threshold area of the public access points, and the system confirms the identity of the authorized users via the biometric identifiers to enable the users to pass through the public access points. Additionally, the system can assist in evacuation of users based on their tracked locations.

[0005] US2007205279A1 discloses an integrated fare collection and security system. The system includes an apparatus for detecting trace amounts of explosives or other substances of interest as part of a ticket purchasing transaction. Signals then are generated to prevent suspects form entering the transit system.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems integrate fare collection and security functions within public transit stations; however, these systems do not effectively streamline the screening of passengers and luggage, often lacking the advanced technologies and coordinate approaches required for efficient, real-time threat detection and secure passenger processing, resulting in delays, inconsistent security measures, and increased risk. This gap highlights the need for an integrated solution that combines both security screening and fare collection in a seamless and effective manner to ensure smooth and safe transit operations.

[0007] To address the limitations of traditional systems, there is a need in the art to develop a streamlined solution that efficiently integrates passenger and luggage screening at public transit stations, utilizing advanced technologies for real-time threat detection, reducing delays, enhancing security accuracy, and improving overall operational efficiency, while ensuring a seamless experience for passengers and staff. Such a system would overcome current challenges, offering a more effective and reliable method of safeguarding transit environments without compromising on service speed or quality.

[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 management system for public transit stations that streamlines screening of passengers and luggage at public transit stations, for effective threat detection and ensuring a secure, efficient process for both travelers and security personnel.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, a perspective view of a security management system for public transit stations is illustrated, comprising a hollow rectangular frame 101 developed to be positioned on a ground surface at entrance of a public transit station, a barricade unit 102 positioned between a pair of lanes 103 provided on frontal portion of the frame 101, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 installed on the frame 101, plurality of first thermal cameras 105 installed on the frame 101, a motorized door 106 provided on a rear portion of the frame 101, a luggage scanning unit installed in proximity to the frame 101 including multiple platforms 107 positioned above a conveyor belt 108 via motorized ball and socket joint, plurality of second thermal cameras 109 installed on the luggage scanning unit, vertical sheets 110 positioned along sides of each platform 107.

[0023] Figure 1 further illustrates a motorized gate 111 positioned at top of the enclosing vertical sheet 110 surrounding the platform 107, a meshed structure 112 positioned on floor of the frame 101, a vertical expandable bar with a motorized brush 113 positioned at bottom side of the meshed structure 112, multiple electronic mist nozzle 114 attached with a chamber configured at a top portion of the frame 101, multiple UV (Ultra-violet) lights 115 installed on interior of the frame 101, a motorized suction unit 116 located adjacent to the brush 113, a card scanning unit 118 provided on the frame 101, , and a holographic projection unit 117 mounted on the frame 101.

[0024] The proposed system features a hollow rectangular frame 101 designed to be placed at the entrance of a public transit station, serving as a security and management means by monitoring access, ensuring safety, and facilitating efficient control of individuals entering or exiting the station.

[0025] The hollow rectangular frame 101 as mentioned herein serves as a structural foundation to various components associated with the system, wherein the frame 101 is made up of material that includes but not limited to stainless steel.

[0026] Passengers are required to pass through the frame 101 before accessing the public transit station, ensuring enhanced security and monitoring by verifying individuals, detecting potential threats, and controlling entry, thereby contributing to the overall safety and orderly management of the transit environment.

[0027] Upon activation of the system, an inbuilt microcontroller embedded within the frame 101 and linked to the switch generates a command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 installed on the frame 101 to monitor flow of passengers approaching towards the frame 101. The imaging unit 104 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in the surroundings, and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 104 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 104 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, 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 determines flow of passengers approaching towards the frame 101.

[0028] In accordance to the detected flow of passengers approaching towards the frame 101, the microcontroller regulates actuation of plurality of hinges configured in between the frame 101 and a barricade unit 102 positioned between a pair of lanes 103 provided on frontal portion of the frame 101 for ensuring that only one person enters at a time through the frame 101. The motorized hinges comprise of a pair of leaf that is screwed with the surfaces of the barricade unit 102. The leaf is connected with each other by means of a cylindrical member integrated with a shaft coupled with a DC (Direct Current) motor to provide required movement to the hinges. The rotation of the shaft in clockwise and anti-clockwise aids in opening and closing of the hinge respectively. Hence the microcontroller actuates the hinges that in turn provides movement to the barricade unit 102 for regulating movement of passengers between lane 103 and towards the frame 101, ensuring that only one person enters at a time through the frame 101.

[0029] The barricade unit 102 features a scissor arrangement that is synchronously actuated by the microcontroller for enabling only one passenger to pass through the frame 101 for security checks while maintaining a controlled and secure environment. The scissor arrangement comprises of bars linked in a scissor like arrangement that is powered by a pneumatic unit associated with frame 101, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the arrangement. 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, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the bars and due to applied pressure the arrangement extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the arrangement by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the arrangement in order to enable only one passenger to pass through the frame 101 for security checks, ensuring smooth movement while effectively managing access during the security screening process.

[0030] The lanes 103 as mentioned above consist of a primary and a secondary lane, with the primary lane designated for regular passengers, while the secondary lane, positioned parallel to the primary lane, enables individuals requiring priority processing to bypass standard procedures, allowing them to quickly access the screening room without delay, ensuring efficient and expedited handling for those with special needs, such as VIPs, individuals with disabilities, or urgent cases, while maintaining smooth overall flow and security within the transit station.

[0031] Plurality of first thermal cameras 105 installed on the frame 101 works in collaboration with plurality of first metal detector embedded on the frame 101 to detect metallic threats and restricted objects carried by the passenger. The thermal cameras 105 working in collaboration with a plurality of first metal detectors, provide a multi-layered security approach to detect metallic threats and restricted objects carried by passengers. The thermal cameras 105 capture infrared radiation emitted by the human body, enabling the system to identify temperature anomalies that may indicate concealed objects or body heat patterns that differ from normal. These cameras 105 are particularly useful for detecting items that are hidden under clothing or in inaccessible areas, as they detect heat signatures from weapons, electronics, or other potentially dangerous objects.

[0032] Simultaneously, the first metal detectors metallic objects carried by passengers as they pass through the frame 101. These metal detectors emit electromagnetic fields that interact with metals, alerting security personnel to the presence of dangerous metallic objects like firearms, knives, or contraband. By combining these technologies, the microcontroller enhances threat detection accuracy and speed, offering a comprehensive security solution for high-traffic at areas such as transit stations, where effective and non-intrusive screening is essential.

[0033] In accordance to detection of any hazardous item being carried by the user, the microcontroller actuates a motorized door 106 provided on a rear portion of the frame 101 to close for restricting the individual. The motorized door 106 operates by utilizing an electric motor connected to a gear mechanism. When activated, the motor turns the gears, which in turn move the door 106 along a track or hinge system, to get closed for restricting the individual, ensuring that passengers are confined until threat is dealt with by security personnel.

[0034] The entrance of the public transit station is equipped with a luggage scanning unit placed near the frame 101, where passengers are required to place the luggage for screening, ensuring that both personal belongings and individuals are thoroughly checked for security purposes before entering.

[0035] The luggage scanning unit as mentioned herein features multiple adjustable platforms 107 positioned above a conveyor belt 108, each platform 107 controlled by motorized ball and socket joints, enabling movement along the belt 108 during the scanning process; passengers are instructed to place the luggage on these platforms 107 for thorough screening and security checks.

[0036] The luggage scanning unit is installed with plurality of second thermal cameras 109 synced with plurality of second metal detectors that scan contents of passenger’s luggage and detect a suspicious item. The second thermal cameras 109 synced and second metal detectors operates in the same manner as the first thermal cameras 109 in collaboration with plurality of first metal detector to contents of passenger’s luggage and detect a suspicious item, wherein the data of both is processed by the microcontroller to identify dangerous or suspicious items being carried within the luggage.

[0037] The platform 107 is equipped with vertical sheets 110 along the lateral sides, acting as walls to enclose the platform 107, transforming the luggage scanning unit into a controlled space that isolates the luggage from external interference, ensuring that any detected threats remain contained within the platform 107, providing enhanced security and preventing unauthorized access to potentially dangerous items during screening.

[0038] Based on the scanning process of luggage, in case the luggage is detected to be unsafe, the microcontroller actuates a motorized gate 111 positioned at top of the enclosing vertical sheet 110 surrounding the platform 107 to close the enclosure over the platform 107. The motorized gate 111 operates in the same manner as the motorized door 106 and is controlled by the microcontroller for the enclosing vertical sheet 110 surrounding the platform 107 to close the enclosure over the platform 107.

[0039] In case the luggage is detected to be safe, the microcontroller automatically directs actuation of the gate 111 for opening the door 106 to allow the luggage to pass through the luggage scanning unit, allowing the passenger to collect their respective luggage.

[0040] The motorized door 106, motorized gate 111, and surrounding sheets 110 are constructed from materials such as aramid fibers, known for their strength and heat resistance, to safely contain hazardous items. These materials provide enhanced protection in the event that hazardous materials are detected within the luggage, ensuring that any dangerous substances remain securely contained. The robust construction prevents accidental exposure, ensuring the safety of both passengers and security personnel while maintaining effective containment during threat detection and screening processes.

[0041] The floor of the frame 101 is provided with a meshed structure 112, having a motorized brush 113 at bottom side and activated by the microcontroller to scrub soles of shoes of the passengers, before the passenger proceeds into screening area and transit station. The motorized brush 113 works by using a rotating set of bristles powered by a motor to scrub the soles of passengers' shoes as the passenger steps over the platform 107. The motor drives the brush 113 to rotate at a controlled speed, effectively dislodging dirt, debris, and contaminants from the shoe soles, which is regulated by the microcontroller, ensuring a thorough cleaning process, while maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of dirt or pathogens within the public transit station environment.

[0042] Multiple electronic mist nozzle 114 attached with a chamber configured at a top portion of the frame 101 is synchronously activated by the microcontroller to spray a mist of sanitizer liquid onto passengers, while passing through the frame 101. The electronic mist nozzle 114 operates in the same manner as the electronic nozzle 114 works by utilizing electrical energy to automize the flow solution in a controlled flow pattern by converting the pressure energy of a fluid into kinetic energy, which increases the fluid's velocity to get sprayed in the form of mist. Upon actuation of nozzle 114 by the microcontroller, the electric motor or the pump pressurizes the sanitizer solution within the chamber, increasing its pressure significantly. High pressure enables the solution to be sprayed out with a high force over the passenger, ensuring effective disinfection while maintaining ease of movement.

[0043] The microcontroller synchronously activates multiple UV (Ultra-violet) lights 115 installed on interior of the frame 101 at the top side of frame 101 to disinfect passengers clothing as they pass through. The UV (Ultra-violet) lights 115 works by employing UV-C light sources that emits UV-C rays to target and neutralize harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, on the surface of clothing. As passengers move through the frame 101, the UV lights 115 are activated to efficiently sanitize their garments, enhancing hygiene and reducing the risk of contamination, while providing a non-intrusive and effective method of disinfection during the screening process.

[0044] A motorized suction unit 116 located adjacent to the brush 113 is activated by the microcontroller to vacuum up all dislodged dust and debris from the shoes. The motorized suction unit 116 typically consist of a suction pump, conduit, and suction catheter for withdrawing the dislodged dust and debris from the shoes. The pump generates a negative pressure, creating a vacuum in the unit. The conduit connects the pump a collection box, where the withdrawn dust and debris is collected. The suction catheter is used to reach the desired area for withdrawing dust and debris. Upon action of the suction unit 116 by the microcontroller, the pump creates a pressure differential, enabling the dust and debris to flow through the conduit into the box. Thus, enables controlled and efficient withdrawing of dislodged dust and debris from the shoes, thereby maintaining cleanliness public transport and security area.

[0045] The meshed structure 112 consists of multiple interlocking slats engineered to capture larger particles, such as debris or waste, while allowing smaller particles to pass through and be collected by a suction unit 116. This design efficiently separates larger contaminants from finer particles, ensuring that the system can handle a variety of debris sizes. The suction unit 116 then captures the smaller debris, improving overall cleaning efficiency and preventing clogging, while maintaining smooth operation and a clean environment in areas where the system is deployed.

[0046] The frame 101 is provided with a card scanning unit 118 and activated by the microcontroller to allow the passengers to scan a passenger’s card to verify proper documentation and validate passenger’s authorization for entry in the public transit station. The card scanning unit 118 allows passengers to scan the cards, such as travel passes or ID cards, by reading embedded information such as barcodes, RFID, or magnetic strips. Upon scanning, the microcontroller cross-references the data with a central database to verify the passenger’s documentation and validate the authorization for entry into the public transit station.

[0047] The microcontroller synchronously performs biometric verification of the passenger via a facial recognition unit to scan passenger’s face and compare against stored data to confirm passenger’s identity as an additional layer of security. The facial recognition unit scans a passenger’s face using the imaging unit 104, capturing unique facial features such as the distance between eyes and the shape of the jawline. This data is then compared against stored facial profiles in a secure database to confirm the passenger's identity, If the facial features match an authorized entry, the microcontroller grants access, providing an additional layer of security in the public transit station by ensuring only verified individuals are able to enter, enhancing safety and preventing unauthorized access.

[0048] Based on outcome of verification process, a holographic projection unit 117 mounted with the frame 101 is activated by the microcontroller to display a visual message, informing both passenger and security staff of verification result. The holographic projection unit 117 displays a visual message by using a combination of light sources, projectors, and optical systems to create 3D holograms. When a passenger’s verification is complete, the unit projects a message, indicating the result (e.g., authorized or denied entry) for both the passenger and security staff to see. Key components include the light source, optical lenses, projectors, and a control unit, ensuring clear, real-time communication of verification results while providing an intuitive, non-intrusive display to enhance security processes.

[0049] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the hollow rectangular frame 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be placed at the entrance of the public transit station, serving as the security and management means by monitoring access, ensuring safety, and facilitating efficient control of individuals entering or exiting the station. Passengers are required to pass through the frame 101 before accessing the public transit station, ensuring enhanced security and monitoring by verifying individuals, detecting potential threats, and controlling entry, thereby contributing to the overall safety and orderly management of the transit environment. Upon activation of the system, the microcontroller generates the command to activate an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 to monitor flow of passengers approaching towards the frame 101. In accordance to the detected flow of passengers approaching towards the frame 101, the microcontroller regulates actuation of plurality of hinges for ensuring that only one person enters at a time through the frame 101. Plurality of first thermal cameras 105 works in collaboration with plurality of first metal detector to detect metallic threats and restricted objects carried by the passenger. Simultaneously, the first metal detectors metallic objects carried by passengers as they pass through the frame 101. In accordance to detection of any hazardous item being carried by the user, the microcontroller actuates the motorized door 106 to close for restricting the individual. The luggage scanning unit placed near the frame 101 is accessed by the passengers to place the luggage for screening, ensuring that both personal belongings and individuals are thoroughly checked for security purposes before entering. Based on the scanning process of luggage, in case the luggage is detected to be unsafe, the microcontroller actuates the motorized gate 111 to close the enclosure over the platform 107. In case the luggage is detected to be safe, the microcontroller automatically directs actuation of the gate 111 for opening the door 106 to allow the luggage to pass through the luggage scanning unit, allowing the passenger to collect their respective luggage.

[0050] In continuation, the motorized brush 113 is activated by the microcontroller to scrub soles of shoes of the passengers, before the passenger proceeds into screening area and transit station. Multiple electronic mist nozzle 114 is synchronously activated by the microcontroller to spray the mist of sanitizer liquid onto passengers, while passing through the frame 101. The microcontroller synchronously activates multiple UV (Ultra-violet) lights 115 at the top side of frame 101 to disinfect passengers clothing as they pass through. the motorized suction unit 116 is activated by the microcontroller to vacuum up all dislodged dust and debris from the shoes. The card scanning unit 118 is activated by the microcontroller to allow the passengers to scan the passenger’s card to verify proper documentation and validate passenger’s authorization for entry in the public transit station. The microcontroller synchronously performs biometric verification of the passenger via the facial recognition unit to scan passenger’s face and compare against stored data to confirm passenger’s identity as an additional layer of security. Based on outcome of verification process, the holographic projection unit 117 is activated by the microcontroller to display the visual message, informing both passenger and security staff of verification result, ensuring clear, real-time communication of verification results while providing an intuitive, non-intrusive display to enhance security processes.
