Projects
Government
Completed engineering and design of a pilot project to secure seven miles of critical rail corridor running through the
nation’s capital. The project includes our r v s pro TM digital
video security system driven by PRAESIDIUM ® intelligent software to integrate over 300 video cameras, 45 RFID
sensors, and several chemical/hazardous material and radiation detectors.
Executing a second contract with a teaming partner to design, manufacture, and install a cutting-edge security system to secure a segment of rail system closely associated
with the above critical rail corridor. These projects include
a virtual security fence to detect moving objects, perimeter
breaches, left objects, removed objects and loitering activity. The two systems meet the needs of local law enforcement, first responders, and the federal government. Data
from the fence and the gates will be encrypted and transmitted simultaneously to U.S. Capitol Police, US Secret Service, CSX and other federal and local agencies.
Developing a Homeland Security project for large rail company to detect illegal passengers on trains traveling along
the US/Mexican border. This pilot project will test the extremes of detecting illegals hiding on rail cars and in rail
cargo container vessels and container tampering. The Train
Rider Detection System (TRiDS™) automatically captures
inspects and processes real time images from freight trains
moving at speeds of up to 70 mph, digitally searching for
unauthorized riders and minimizing the need to stop trains
for inspections - with the objective to maintain train velocity
throughout the route. Three levels of technology combine
to form TRiDS™, providing highest level of accuracy, minimizing false alarms, and offering the optimum solution for
intrusion detection.
Executed a contract with a teaming partner and the Jacksonville Airport Authority to design, manufacture, and install a government grant funded leading edge, turn-key “Tag
and Track” pilot security visualization system at a North
Florida international airport. The system fuses digital video
over IP with emerging smart technologies to allow airport
security officials to identify, track and intercept people suspected of violating security rules (i.e. bypassing check points
or going the wrong way on a concourse) without shutting
down the airport. Duos integrated Pyramid Vision Technologies Video Flashlight™ and VisionAlert™ applications so
that through the use of more than 100 real time, motionsensitive video security cameras security personnel can instantly pinpoint a suspicious bag, automatically detect intruders that breach a security checkpoint or loiter in a designated area, or even track a person going the wrong way
down a concourse.
Transportation
Designed and deployed a gondola car inspection system to
provide digital video capture for remote inspection. The system consists of high resolution color & day/night fixed cameras connected to an rvs pro TM digital video recorder. Cameras establish a train detection zone at the Gondola Car
Inspection Station. The system detects an approaching train,
triggers an alarm, and digital video capture of gondola rail
cars begins. The cameras are positioned such that gondola
car areas of interest are digitally captured, recorded and
archived. Railroad personnel at any location connected to
the LANWAN can view the live streaming and/or archived
video.
Designed and deployed an over-height rail car detection system to provide digital video capture for remote inspection
and quick verification prior to tunnel entry (in the winter, many
false alarms are generated by snow atop rail cars). The system consists of a train height sensor and high resolution
color & day/night fixed camera connected to a ruggedized
rvspro TM digital video recorder driven by PRAESIDIUM ®
software. When the train height sensor triggers an alarm,
10 seconds of streaming video before and after the alarm
event are recorded and archived, and a popup window displays a four second looping video clip of the over-height rail
D002/2176/0708
car captured at the moment of the alarm. Railroad personnel
at any location connected to the LANWAN can view the live
streaming and/or archived video.
Designed and installed rvs pro TM digital video surveillance
systems driven by PRAESIDIUM ® software spanning nine
states and 12 locations for a major railroad. Systems include
all components necessary for day/night cameras to capture
and transmit digital video data via wireless Ethernet radio to
a central video server. Designed, procured and deployed
multi-site LAN/WAN network spanning 9 states and 12 locations. Network is a client/server design including file servers, mail servers, routers, firewalls, virtual private network
connectors, SQL servers, archiving, remote user access and
multiple web sites.
Designed, developed and implemented a critical infrastructure information system for a major class 1 railroad company.
The system pulls information on first responders and public
sites closest to the railroad’s critical assets such as railroad
owned tunnels and bridges on or along the rail track. Contact
information, aerial imagery, and directions to and from the
critical asset to the closest first responder or public site are
provided.
Designed and deployed a turn-key project for an rvs pro TM
digital video surveillance and alarm system driven by
PRAESIDIUM ® software at a railway tunnel in Washington, DC for a major class 1 railroad company. System includes remote video surveillance with a visual and multi-lingual annunciation alarm system, local and remote viewing,
and control of digital day/night video cameras at each tunnel
portal.
PRAESIDIUM ® Artificial Intelligence (AI) will distinguish
defective caustic rail car liner regions from non-defective
liner regions. All video will be automatically digitally recorded
onto the rvsproTM server, time stamped, and stored for later
retrieval. Upon detection of defects in the liner, the system
will notify the operator via visual and audible alarms. The
operator will then have the ability to conduct a more detailed inspection by viewing the defect in real time on the
system workstation. Real time images can also be transmitted across the Olin LAN/WAN for additional investigation
and verification of the defect.

Government
The deployment of video surveillance
systems in government facilities and to
harden critical infrastructure has become
the most prevalent of all security measures enacted after September 11, 2001.
The responsibility is a shared one. The
Department of Homeland Security
(D H S), the Department of Transportation ( DOT) and other federal agencies
in conjunction with stakeholders in the
transportation, commercial, industrial , and health care sectors have since
taken unprecedented steps to enhance
our nation’s security. As a result, the increased complexity of digital surveillance
systems tasks providers to integrate a
variety of products and strategies - a typical installation now involves multiple
camera types, communications platforms, and sensor types.
At Duos, our ability to offer this level of
integration and provide applied intelligence to a myriad of technical systems
produces the solutions necessary to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure.
Many Duos solutions presented in the
transportation, commercial and industrial, and projects paragraphs below were
undertaken with the full complicity and
support of the jurisdictional federal
agency.
Commercial and
Industrial
Transportation
Necessity has energized our nation’s brightest minds and triggered an unprecedented flurry of innovative security technologies developments. This defines Duos Technologies today –
our mission is to take the point in terms of global security status and direction in general, and more specifically, transportation security. Our model is to provide sophisticated turn-key
security systems for the protection of critical transportation infrastructure, including:
•
Railroad Security - At Duos, we harden the nation’s critical
rail infrastructure for clients like CSX Transportation, Union
Pacific Railroad, and Conrail. Duos continues to deploy
numerous sophisticated, turnkey, intelligent video and sensor
based intrusion detection systems for rail applications: in
tunnels, along bridges, through sensitive rail corridors, for
unauthorized rider detection along the southwestern border,
in rail yards, intermodal yards, diesel tank farms, and terminals.
•
Border Security - The U.S. wants operational control of our
borders within five years. Duos provides applied intelligence
to technical systems fusing thermal and visible video feeds,
probabilistic templates and an electronic container RFID tag
monitoring system to detect unauthorized riders aboard freight

border.
•
Airport Security - Airports can now take measures to avoid
terminal shutdown. Using Duos’ system of intelligent, real time,
motion-sensitive video security cameras with computer-aided
visualization, security personnel can instantly detect intruders
that disappear against the flow of traffic, breach a security
checkpoint, loiter in a designated area, suspicious objects
removed or left behind, verification and tracking of vehicles
and individuals entering the AOA, and prevention of
unauthorized individuals from operating airport vehicles.
•
Sea Port Security - Sea port yard operations are vulnerable difficult to manage centrally, and shipping containers are
subject to vandalism, theft and smuggling. Duos’ solution - an
intelligent Duos r v s pro TM video surveillance system with a
network of digital video cameras driven by the
P R A E S I D I U M ® intelligent vision suite to automatically
deploy audio and visual alarms, process live video feed and
