Impact of Multi-Sensor Technology for Enhancing Global Security in Closed Environments Using Cloud-Based Resources

Abstract

By nature, some jobs are always in closed environments and employees may stay for long periods. This is the case for many professional activities such as military watch tours of borders, civilian buildings and facilities that need efficient control processes. The role assigned to personnel in such environments is usually sensitive and of high importance, especially in terms of security and protection. With this in mind, we proposed in our research a novel approach using multi-sensor technology to monitor many safety and security parameters including the health status of indoor workers, such as those in watchtowers and at guard posts. In addition, the data gathered for those employees (heart rate, temperature, eye movement, human motion, etc.) combined with the room’s sensor data (temperature, oxygen ratio, toxic gases, air quality, etc.) were saved by appropriate cloud services, which ensured easy access to the data without ignoring the privacy protection aspect of such critical material. This information can be used later by specialists to monitor the evolution of the worker’s health status as well as its cost-effectiveness, which gives the possibility to improve productivity in the workplace and general employee health.

IoT-Enabled System for Detection, Monitoring, and Tracking of Nuclear Materials

“…It is necessary to mention that the present research has shown an alternative for neutron detection for nuclear safety and security systems, prioritizing the possible implementations seizing the advantages of the IoT. IoT-based systems provide elements to configure and implement multisensor networks for location and tracking items [43], and these (multisensor-based tracking systems) are widely enhanced by cloudbased resources [44].…”

Open Sensor Manager for IIoT

“…OSEMA supports multiple sensor models, application layer protocols, and data formats to enable interoperability, which is highly recommended in a multi-sensor context [56]. In addition, it offers a REST API, which further extends the versatility of the manager.…”
