Hazard Dectection And Mitigation System And Method
First Claim
1. A method for providing monitoring of hazardous materials, the method comprising:
- collecting environmental data via one or more sensors directed at the hazardous materials source, the environmental data including one or more environmentally detectable reference points;
comparing the environmental data to a set of current ambient conditions, the environmental data detectable in a reference frame by the one or more sensors directed at the hazardous materials source, the reference frame including at least one of the one or more environmentally detectable reference points;
performing an alert determination according to the comparison of the environmental data to the set of ambient conditions; and
transmitting the alert determination to an existing fault detection system for the hazardous material source to enable the existing fault detection system to override a status rating of the hazardous materials source.
