ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 2006--Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc. announces today that its BIS-WDS(TM) Prime has been installed for live, passenger screening operation at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's (PANYNJ) Exchange Place PATH transit system station in Jersey City, New Jersey as part of the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security Rail Security Pilot Project's two week field demonstration of promising advanced technologies that detect explosives and other large weapons used to injure passengers or damage facilities and equipment, and that pose serious potential threats to the nation's rail systems.
Brijot's product -- which provides full-motion, automated detection of potential suicide bombs hidden beneath a person's clothing -- was selected for the live, real-world field testing phase after successful laboratory assessment.
"This field demonstration is of utmost importance to the protection of our citizens and mass transit infrastructure.
This is what the entire Brijot team has worked for: a system where rail passengers can be screened for suicide bombs with minimal change to transit entry lanes or interruption of passenger flow.
Passengers do not have to stop or enter an enclosed portal device, or be concerned about the system's screening technique.
It operates just like a video camera does, without any effect on the person or persons standing in its view and without imaging any body details.
Those with pacemakers, pregnant women, children, anyone and everyone can stand in the system's view forever and never be concerned," says Brijot President and CEO Brian J. Andrew.
"We finally have the technology available to assist law enforcement agencies responsible for the security of the traveling public to thwart suicide bombers.
The challenge from here on out will be the swiftness of authorities to implement at mass transit locations."
For the Rail Security Project's two-week field trial phase two BIS-WDS Prime cameras have been deployed for live operation as part of an entry lane application and will be used to screen PATH transit system patrons as they enter Exchange Place Station's entry turnstiles.
In such a scenario utilizing Brijot's recently announced special suicide bomb detection software package, a two-camera deployment can accommodate a throughput rate of 720 people per hour for a single turnstile lane, identifying the exact location of suspicious objects on a full-motion video without the need for the patron to stop, empty pockets or enter a portal device.
The BIS-WDS Prime is a passive millimeter wave system that does not subject screened persons to any type of energy or radiation what-so-ever.
The technology poses no health or environmental risks to any passengers or station employees, and is of no concern for persons with pacemakers or pregnant women.
In addition, the system does not image any specific body details, profile or otherwise discriminate against any person based on physical characteristics but, rather, identifies only those individuals carrying suspicious objects.
