REALTIME OBSERVATION, IDENTIFICATION AND TRACKING FROM DANGEROUS PERSONS IN AIRPORTS - A LOGISTICS SYSTEM ROIT

Background: The aim of this paper is to present and analyze a new method of the logistics disaster management and concentrates particularly on terrorist attacks of CBRN type (C - chemical attack/weapon, B - biological attack/weapon, R - radiological attack/weapon, N - nuclear attack/weapon) at the airports. Each of the aforementioned is an issue of great importance and high priority for the airport communication.                                                                   Methods: The research of a ROIT project (Realtime Observation, Identification and Tracking from dangerous people in airports) has been conducted in a way that enables the application of the three-step computer system. The program has been configured to identify, observe and protect from undesired actions of people suspected of involvement in CBRN.

Results: The main results of applying the device in different scenarios are: enabling reliable automatic identification and classification of potentially hazardous materials and substances, association of the materials with their owners or distributors.                                                                           

Conclusion: Simultaneous passing information to the airport security guards, police and expert team guarantees that further purposes involve the independent opportunity to observe in real time the CBRN suspects as well as to eliminate them secretly and quickly from the rest of airport passengers after thorough and credible identification.
