An Automated Device for Explosive Materials Detection on Postal Objects in Outdoor Mailboxes
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
The increase in terrorist attacks at a global level has dramatically changed the way people live. New forms of terrorism have emerged, changing the everyday lives of ordinary citizens, who are often the "collateral losses" of these acts. In particular, the sending of "terror-packs" to target persons has highlighted the security gap in the provision of postal services and, in particular, the risk faced by both the universal service provider employees and the ordinary citizens, since the behavior of an explosive device is unpredictable even when it is simply moved or placed somewhere. Moreover, the inability of the postal provider to identify the sender and track simple postal items (PRIORITY B letter mail) that are dropped in outdoor mailboxes is another weapon in the hands of terrorists. This dissertation will present the design study of an explosive detection system contained in a postal item dropped in an open mailbox. In addition, it describes the way in which the provision and timely notification of the competent authorities and services are provided for their immediate intervention in order to avoid the extension of the damage. The permanent installation of such a system in outdoor mailboxes can focus primarily on the protection of human life and, secondarily, on the timely and immediate mobilization of competent authorities and services in case of detection of suspicious postal items, something that will be a pioneering initiative for Greece. These two points are also the purpose of this dissertation, in an attempt to use technologically advanced applications to contribute to safety and avoid human losses and material damage. In the main part of the dissertation the design criteria of the proposed system, sensor devices, the microprocessor, the supply and autonomy devices and the communication device are analyzed. The way of operation and the communication environment with the competent authorities and services are presented in detail through the description of the operating scenario. In addition, the dissertation will include financial and technical data concerning the operation and installation costs of the proposed system in outdoor mailboxes. The study is completed by recording the conclusions that the system is expected to use.
