1. A method comprising:
- receiving a classification of predetermined threat levels of different zones within a building, the predetermined threat levels to include at least one of a first predetermined threat level and a second predetermined threat level;
associating a first detectable indicator with a first zone of a plurality of different zones having the first predetermined threat level;
associating a second detectable indicator with a second zone of the plurality of different zones having the second predetermined threat level; and
providing a vehicle capable of moving between the first and second zones, the vehicle capable of detecting, via a detector, at least one of the first detectable indicator or second detectable indicator.

Abstract
Systems and methods to detect and warn proximate entities of interest are described herein. An example method includes determining threat levels for hazards in a plurality of different zones within a building, classifying the threat levels into at least one of a first threat level and a second threat level, designating a first zone of the plurality of different zones having the first threat level with a first detectable indicator, and designating a second zone having the second threat level with a second detectable indicator.

8. A method for detection of hazards in different areas of a building, the method comprising:
-
assigning a first predetermined threat level for a hazard in a first area of the different areas of the building; assigning a second predetermined threat level for a hazard in a second area of the different areas of the building, the first predetermined threat level being different than the second predetermined threat level; employing a first detection system to detect the hazard in the first area assigned the first predetermined threat level, the first detection system having a first ability to detect the hazard in the first area; modifying, via the first detection system, an operational parameter of a vehicle based on the vehicle being in the first area and employing a second detection system to detect the hazard in the second area assigned the second predetermined threat level, the second detection system having a second ability to detect the hazard in the second area, the first ability being different than the second ability. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for detection of hazards in different areas of a building, the method comprising:
-
assigning a first predetermined threat level for a hazard in a first area of the different areas of the building; assigning a second predetermined threat level for a hazard in a second area of the different areas of the building, the first predetermined threat level being different than the second predetermined threat level; employing a first detection system to detect the hazard in the first area assigned the first predetermined threat level, the first detection system having a first ability to detect the hazard in the first area; employing a second detection system to detect the hazard in the second area assigned the second predetermined threat level, the second detection system having a second ability to detect the hazard in the second area, the first ability being different than the second ability; and adjusting the first predetermined threat level for the hazard in the first area of the different areas based on a dynamic characteristic of the first area, wherein adjusting the dynamic characteristic is based on at least one of a population density, traffic density or a temporal characteristic in the first area. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A method for detection of hazards in different areas of a building, the method comprising:
-
assigning a first threat level for a hazard in a first area of the different areas; assigning a second threat level for a hazard in a second area of the different areas, the first threat level being different than the second threat level; employing a first detection system to detect the hazard in the first area assigned the first threat level, the first detection system having a first ability to detect the hazard in the first area; and employing a second detection system to detect the hazard in the second area assigned the second threat level, the second detection system having a second ability to detect the hazard in the second area, the first ability being different than the second ability; adjusting the first threat level for the hazard in the first area of the different areas based on a dynamic characteristic of the first area, wherein adjusting the dynamic characteristic is based on at least one of a population density, traffic density or a temporal characteristic in the first area. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
