SECUSCAN® – THE UNDER VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM

The first SecuScan® Under Vehicle Monitoring System (produced by KTG Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH Germany ) has been already installed in the year 2001 at the government district of the German capital Berlin.In the mean time SecuScan® systems did come successfully into operation in more than 25 countries and has been approved as a effective security system. With its innovative technology, the system supports fast and easy detection of dangerous objects as, for instance, weapons and explosives, drugs and contraband as well as safety or quality defects (e.g. rust). In contrast to conventional vehicle underside control methods, like hand-held mirrors or inspection wells, SecuScan® facilitates reliable safety inspections without slowing down the flow of traffic at the access point.

  • For sophisticated safety inspections in connection with a comprehensive access control system
  • Mounting into the road surface with little constructional effort
  • With permanent installation housing or with bolted down rubber pads

RANGE OF APPLICATION

The permanent SecuScan® system offers a wide field of applications:

  • Protection of governmental buildings, airports, military institutions, embassies, nuclear power plants, penitentiaries as well as other high-profile installations
  • Border controls
  • Parking garage access controls

 

SYSTEM OVERVIEW AND FUNCTIONS

The Under Vehicle Monitoring System SecuScan® essentially comprises a scanning unit, a workstation, traffic lights and a light barrier; depending on the system option, SecuScan® uses hard-rubber pads and aluminum ramps for the mobile system as well as a stainless steel construction for the permanent system. In addition, SecuScan® can be upgraded with a variety of additional options. The scanning unit (height = 11 cm/4.3″) consists of a line camera, a mirror and an infrared LED lighting unit. Through a small slit in the scanning unit, the camera captures the entire underside of a vehicle in moving traffic. In order to display the underside to scale, different heights of undercarriages (car/truck) as well as the vehicle length are taken into account. The underside is then displayed as high-resolution image on the screen.

To simplify the correlation between the underside fileadmin/templates/images and the corresponding vehicles, an optional front-end image capture camera as well as automatic license plate recognition can be integrated. The SecuScan® software provides the guards with all collected vehicle data on the control screen. Additional information can be entered manually. Zoom capabilities support the identification of details up to a size of 5 mm (0.2″). This facilitates the fast and efficient detection and analysis of suspicious objects. All the data collected or manually entered can be stored in a database under the vehicle license plate number. In case of recurring vehicles, the software provides the possibility to compare the current underside image with an already archived one of the same vehicle in order to identify potential deviations at a glance.
