5.1.1.4.1 - Manage Secure Area Sensors

This process shall remotely monitor sensor data collected in secure areas, including those frequented by travellers (transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, modal interchange facilities, on-board transit vehicles, etc.), and those typically away from travellers (tunnels, bridges, roadway infrastructure, etc.). Sensor data will also be collected from other emergency centres and the process shall return collected sensor data (raw and processed) to those centres. The types of sensor data include threat sensors (such as chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological), object detection sensors (such as metal detectors), motion and intrusion sensors, and infrastructure integrity sensors. In addition to raw sensor inputs, this process shall also receive data preprocessed in the field, and provide additional processing if directed by processing parameters established by centre personnel. The process shall input threat information from field analysis functions and together with its own processing, shall identify potential threats, and verify those threats by correlating collected data. The process shall output identified threats to other processes for output to centre personnel and to support further threat analysis. The process shall provide sensor data to other processes to assist in identification of potential incidents, and specifically, shall output infrastructure integrity data to support infrastructure maintenance. The process shall accept inputs that provide sensor equipment control and pass that control to the field. The process shall accept inputs that provide sensor data processing control, and use the parameters as well as output them as directed to the field for local processing control. The process shall monitor and output equipment status and fault indication.
