Cable CoPS: Using Fibre Optic Cable for Construction Perimeter Security

铁路建设中的入侵者是该行业的一个主要问题，因为这可能会使入侵者面临重大的安全风险，建筑公司面临被盗的风险，或者客户因上述任何一种原因而打乱他们的计划。快速干预对回访者起到威慑作用，可以防止破坏和盗窃行为。我们提出的系统，有线报警系统，将比目前最先进的技术更容易，更可靠地确定入侵者的确切位置。该提案旨在提交第一阶段可行性研究，以确定第二阶段现场试验的适用性和成本，以提供以下技术：*遥感系统、防侵入系统、无人值守侵入监控*周界保护和监控技术的创新，以解决规划或美学方面的考虑，并降低物理基础设施的安全成本。可行性研究和第二阶段试验将建立在泰雷兹目前正在进行的光纤技术试验的基础上，以确定在绿地应用中最有效的安装方式。目前在现有基础设施上进行的试验不允许优化所使用光纤的类型和位置，也不允许优化光纤的安装方式。传统的现场监测技术存在范围短、误报率高、部署成本高等缺点。大型建筑工地需要能够自动保护许多脆弱区域的系统，以最少的人工监督和适当的精度将响应者引导到正确的位置。在GCRE测试轨道的场景中，这需要尽快完成，以尽量减少安全威胁风险。泰雷兹公司及其技术供应商Focus Sensors开发了一种系统，该系统能够提供持久的周边探测系统，可以在某人到达周边之前感知到他们正在接近某个地点。它会提醒工作人员入侵者的精确位置，使他们能够有效地应对问题。这项技术可以在许多环境中使用，目前它正在沿着铁路的常规路段进行验证，在Cable CoPS项目中，我们将了解它在仓库或建筑工地等特定敏感地点的操作情况。由于该系统的远程和自治性质，它大大减少了工作人员的工作量。我们的系统将允许独立操作来检测入侵者，而不是依赖大量的闭路电视摄像机、墙壁和围栏。

Intruders on railway construction are a major problem for the industry, as this may expose intruders to significant safety risks, the construction company a risk of theft, or the customer a disruption to their schedule due to either of these. Rapid intervention acts as a deterrent for return visitors and can prevent acts of vandalism and theft. Our proposed system, Cable CoPS, will make pinpointing an intruder's exact location easier and more reliable than current state-of-the-art technology.This proposal is for the delivery of a Phase 1 Feasibility Study to determine the applicability and costs of a Phase 2 onsite trial to use technology to provide the following:* remote sensory system, anti-trespass systems, unattended monitoring for trespass* innovation in perimeter protection and monitoring technology to address planning or aesthetic considerations, and to reduce security costs of physical infrastructure, including the use of non-barrier technologyThe feasibility study and Phase 2 trial will build on trials of this fibre optic technology that Thales are currently undertaking to determine the most effective installation in a greenfield application. Current trials delivered on existing infrastructure do not allow for optimisation of the type and location of fibre used or how it is installed.Conventional site monitoring technologies have downfalls e.g. short ranges, high false positive rates, as well as high deployment cost. Large construction sites require systems that can protect many areas of vulnerability automatically, with minimal human supervision and suitable precision to direct responders to the correct location. In the scenario of the GCRE Test Track this needs to be done as quickly as possible to minimise the security threat risk.Thales and their technology provider Focus Sensors have developed a system capable of delivering a persistent perimeter detection system that can sense someone approaching a site before they reach a perimeter. It would alert staff to a trespassers precise location allowing them to respond to the issue efficiently.This technology can be utilised in many environments -- currently it is being validated along regular sections of the railway -- and in the Cable CoPS project we will understand its operation at specific, sensitive locations such as warehouses or construction sites. Due to the long range and autonomous nature of the system, it drastically reduces the workload of staff. Instead of relying on a significant number of CCTV cameras, walls and fence, our system would allow for independent operation to detect intruders.
