Apparatus and method of collecting and distributing event data to strategic security personnel and response vehicles
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for monitoring a location for the occurrence of an event, collecting information relating to the event, prioritizing the information and dispatching an appropriate response based on the prioritized information, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. placing strategically located sensors having a geographic location identifier in a position adapted for monitoring the location, said sensors further adapted for generating a data signal upon the occurrence of an event;
b. providing response personnel and equipment with receivers adapted for receiving selected collected and analyzed data;
c. further providing response personnel and equipment with location sensors for generating a location signal identifying their precise geographic location at any point in time;
d. collecting and analyzing the data signal in order to determine the time, location and type of event; and
e. alerting and dispatching appropriate response personnel and equipment to the location of the event based on their proximity and resources relative to the event.

Abstract
A security and surveillance system for aircraft on the ground incorporates a plurality of strategically spaced sensors including video imaging generators, audio sensors, motion detectors, and fire and smoke detectors for monitoring critical components and critical areas of both the interior and the exterior of the a commercial transport such as an aircraft. The system is a comprehensive multi-media safety, tracking and/or surveillance system, which provides both visual and/or audio information as well as critical data such as location, direction, intrusion, fire and/or smoke detection and/or status of environmental conditions and/or asset systems status. The collected information is analyzed and prioritized according to type of event, location and nature of required response for automatically dispatching the proper response. The captured data and images are transmitted to a ground based security station for display on a monitor and may be recorded on a “black box” recorder as well as on a ground based recording system.

19. A security monitoring, surveillance and event response system comprising:
-
a. a ground based monitoring station for monitoring the position of and conditions relative to a commercial transport when in port; b. a network of ground based sensors each operational within a predefined operating zone and adapted for monitoring a selected conditions associated with the commercial transport while within the operating zone for generating a unique data signal representing the specific condition to be monitored for describing the condition and location of the commercial transport while within the zone; and c. communication system for transmitting the unique data signal from each of the network of sensors to the ground based monitoring station for monitoring the selected conditions at the commercial transport, whereby both the condition and the location of the commercial transport may be determined, the communication system adapted for identifying the event based on the unique data signal and for generating a response based on the location and type of event. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63)
