- Description
- RFI--Controlling Crowd Flow for Standoff/Remote Explosives Screening The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), Explosives Division (EXD), has been tasked to conduct operational field demonstrations of remotely operated and standoff explosives countermeasure technologies to address the threat from suicide bombers, as well as leave-behind and vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices. DHS S&T’s Standoff Technology Integration and Demonstration Program (STIDP) is designed to accelerate the development of standoff and remotely operated explosives countermeasures architectures for detecting these threats. A countermeasure architecture comprises detection technologies and how they are deployed and operated; how they integrate with the venue’s operations; and technologies that enable the countermeasure to be operated as an integrated system (e.g., command, control, and communications; data management and recording). The ultimate goal of the program is to prevent explosives attacks in free-flowing crowds—such as those arriving for large public events and mass transit facilities —via an iterative approach of identifying technologies, integrating and testing them in crowd environments, and providing feedback for technology developers. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to identify interested parties or teams with experience in designing and implementing pedestrian control management techniques and methods, especially pertaining to the architectural design of the ingress environment at a large public event. The primary intent of this RFI is to explore innovative technologies or models of how to characterize existing pedestrian flows and successfully control crowd flows with a minimal investment in infrastructure at the farthest fringes of the sensor detection zones. The Government is also interested in crowd monitoring/control closer to the venue entrances for implementing technologies such as geo-tracking and video anomaly detection (e.g. entry to exclusion zones, leave-behind baggage, crowd formations and dispersion, etc.).
