System For Multiple Layered Security Within A Cargo Container
US Patent:
2012011, May 10, 2012
Filed:
Nov 3, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/288450
Inventors:
Richard C. Meyers - Longboat Key FL, US
Assignee:
System Planning Corporation - Arlington VA
International Classification:
G08B 1/08
US Classification:
3405391
Abstract:
This invention describes layers of security sensors to determine the status of a container from point of departure to a final destination of the container. In particular, the present invention discloses the use of at least three levels of security applied to a single cargo container including an inductive sensor couples with an optical sensor to detect intrusions, a door switch sensor, and an RFID reader in communications with RFID tags embedded in the cargo and other sensors throughout the cargo hold. Security layering not only serves as a deterrent but also serves as an active defensive security system for establishing security “gates.”
