摘要: Securing a protected entity from a hazard may be achieved in a method and system by defining a first area (Safety SmartSpace) via a monitoring and control (M/C) device as a geographic zone monitored by monitoring systems. A second area (Safety Perimeter) is defined within the first area. The hazard is selected from a list. Additionally, the protected entity may be physically tagged with a local positioning device operable for providing known geographic coordinates of the protected entity. Proximity of the hazard is detected in the first area via the M/C device using input signals from the monitoring systems. The M/C device calculates a numeric criticality score for the hazard using a characteristic of the hazard and the protected entity. A localized control action executes with respect to the protected entity when the score exceeds a threshold, and includes generating and transmitting an alert signal to activate a warning device.

摘要: Disclosed subject matter identifies, characterizes, and mitigates previously unforeseen safety hazards that are likely to be encountered by autonomous conveyances—finding these hazards, assessing their potential safety impact, modifying the design to mitigate them should they occur, disseminating updated design programming to all units, including those under construction or those already in the field, and including those hazard mitigations of high severity that exceed the maximum capabilities of the controller as manufactured. These hazards can include rare, infrequent and unforeseen hazards by monitoring conveyances already in the field, gathering data from autonomous conveyances, such as those using a design being updated, and data obtained from those using other autonomous designs in the field. By obtaining data from non-autonomous conveyances, as supplied by their drivers and operators, reporting real-time via a smartphone application, categories of rare, infrequent or unforeseen hazards can be integrated into modified designs.
