Practitioners Guides

Bringing the lessons learned from IMPETUS to a wider audience

 

Latest release

Firearm Detector

Continuously monitors surveillance camera feeds and automatically creates an alert if a firearm is detected in a public space

 

Firearm detection video

Bacteria Detector

Continuously monitors air samples to detect abnormally high concentrations of airborne
bacteria

 

 

Urban Anomaly
Detector

Continuously monitors data gathered from
multiple city sensors and detects cases deviating from the norm - indicating possible cause for concern

 

 

Social Media Detection

Scans large volumes of text on social media and other public online sites, looking for topics/keywords that might indicate potential trouble or threats

 

 

Workload Monitoring
System

Measures mental workload and stress of emergency operators using a brain-computer interface, raises alerts if anomalies arise

  

 

Evacuation Optimiser

Provides instant advice to emergency staff on
how to effectively manage an evacuation, based
on simulations of different evacuation scenarios

 

 

 

Cyber Threat
Intelligence
