1. A real-time multi component travel safety system that monitors and maintains the safety and security of a traveler, as an individual, part of a group and in a broader corporate context, while traveling, operating and working internationally and domestically, the system comprising:

  • a multifunction Processing Module Array (PMA) comprising a plurality of interacting interconnected modules, the modules processing Service Requests and delivering appropriate outputs both within the system and to the external service-requesting entity;

    a multifunction, programmable and customizable Data Input Bus comprising one of the modules of the Processing Module Array, the Data Input Bus receiving location data, global incident data including disease hazard, natural disaster hazard, terrorist hazard and other hazards, intelligence assessments and other data which are used as parameters controlling the system processes within the Processing Module Array;

    a multifunction, programmable and customizable External Service Request Bus (XSRB) comprising another of the modules of the Processing Module Array, the External Service Request Bus accepting service requests, through a GEOS Customer Interface (GCI), from a traveler and from any authorized third party, both in real-time, and passing the service requests on to the Processing Module Array (PMA), the External Service Request Bus being bi-directional and, for some Service Requests, returning appropriate PMA outputs back, via the bi-directional GCI, to the traveler or an authorized third party;

    a multifunction and multimedia Communications Bus (COM) comprising another module of the Processing Module Array, the Communications Bus managing communications of the system and its component parts with the external environment;

    a multifunction Operation Request Bus (ORB) comprising another module of the Processing Module Array, the Operation Request Bus grouping warning outputs from the Processing Module Array and forwarding the warning outputs to a GEOS GEM Control Center;

    a multifunction, programmable and customizable Global Emergency Monitoring (GEM) Center comprising another module of the Processing Module Array, the Global Emergency Monitoring Center responding to and processing Operation Requests from the PMA via the Operation Requests Bus (ORB), interacting with the PMA via the bi-directional SSR bus, responding to, coordinating and processing Traveler Assistance Requests from a GEOS Location Terminal (GLT) or GEOS Communications Terminal (GCT), the GEM initiating further appropriate GEM operations via a GEM Operations Bus (GEMOP bus), which may be supported by further SSRs;

    a multifunction, programmable and customizable GEOS Customer Interface (GCI) comprising a bi-directional graphical interface, also accessible via the internet World Wide Web, which is the interface between the user and the System Processes (PROs);

    a GEOS Communications Terminal (GCT) comprising an approved technological device enabling communications between the terminal and the other components of the GEOS System, the GCT-establishing communications with the GEM and responding to CBS communications, both in real-time;

    a GEOS Location Terminal (GLT) comprising an approved technological device transmitting it'"'"'s location to the GEM or to the FFM, the GLT configured for simultaneously being a GCT;

    to create a real-time multi component travel safety system that monitors and maintains the safety and security of a traveler, as an individual, part of a group and in a broader corporate context, while traveling, operating and working internationally and domestically.
