MODULAR DEVICE FOR INSPECTING THE UNDERBODY OF A VEHICLE, ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMMOBILIZATION MEANS

SAID VEHICLE.

The present invention aims to provide security and access control of sensitive areas, a new technique combining means of controlling the underbody of vehicles and means of immobilizing suspected suspect vehicles. This new safety equipment is based on an optical control associated according to the results with the mechanical immobilization of the controlled vehicle. It allows the underside of the accessing vehicle to be examined with precision and from a distance, so as to verify the absence of any suspicious element and, in the event of the discovery of a disturbing object or an explosive, to immobilize said vehicle on place of control by the emergence of a harrow dense enough to discourage any passage in force.

We know that in terms of vehicle access control, a large number of devices have been studied and developed, using physical mechanical means tending to prohibit or authorize access, such as for example barriers, retractable studs, etc. . or to electronic and / or optical means capable of controlling and authorizing access according to selective authorizations, such as badge control, identification of numbers, etc.

Given the evolving political, economic and social situations in many territories, security needs are growing and require constant technical development to best guarantee the protection of property and individuals.

The development of population mobility and international terrorism are increasingly leading to securing a maximum of places of life and exchange and strengthening access controls to individuals and to the means which transport them.

Thus, it is commonly accepted today to submit your person and the baggage accompanying it to controls at boarding gates of airports, at the entrance of certain department stores or any other place of assembly.

In addition to these applications encountered in everyday life, many exposed areas are permanently secured according to the nature of the activities carried out there or the danger they represent.

Access security is mainly oriented towards the detection of people, weapons and explosives carried or transported

Besides specific areas of war or conflict, countless institutions, groups or companies around the world are forced to protect themselves, for example, embassies, certain military installations, large companies, political and religious representations, etc.

If it is now easy and common to control the access of an individual by passing it through a detector tunnel so as to control the presence on it of a weapon or explosive or by subjecting it to the presence of '' a dog trained for this purpose, it is much more complicated to control the presence of a weapon or an explosive carefully concealed in the crevices of the underside of the body of a motor vehicle.

The detection of weapons or explosives always represents a dangerous operation because if it involves the human presence near the object or the person controlled, the risk is very great in the event of an explosion at the place of control. Remote detection is therefore the most secure and secure method for the personnel operating the control.

The means used today to verify that no weapon or explosive is hidden under the body of a vehicle are limited and ineffective.

Indeed, it is common to see security personnel inspecting the underside of vehicles by means of a mirror placed at the end of a pole, said mirror being simply passed over the periphery of the underside of the vehicle body without obviously ability to control the more central areas of the underbody.

Certain other devices are sometimes applied and in particular the remote inspection of the underbody using mobile cameras and moving along at least two axes, said cameras being animated and oriented by personnel placed in a room distant from the control point.

This type of control obviously allows a more precise and better localized inspection of the controlled area and guarantees the safety of operating personnel who are sheltered and at a distance from the control point.

However, in the event of a positive inspection and if the presence of weapons or explosives is detected under a vehicle, communication with the driver of the vehicle can be established remotely but nothing prevents the vehicle from leaving the place of control to force access and possibly cause an explosion inside the area.

The author of the present invention, aware of the risks run by security personnel, has devised a technical means of inspecting the underbody of a vehicle remotely, associated with a mechanical means of immobilizing a vehicle remotely. suspect vehicle, temporary immobilization to exchange in complete safety with the driver of the vehicle or definitive in the event of a dangerous suspect vehicle.

The device of the invention consists of a plurality of independent modules which can be mechanically assembled together to form, on an access road to a sensitive area, a "linear control retarder" of compatible length and adapted to the sizes of the vehicles to be checked.

The independent modules are of two types and of two specific functions, on the one hand of the modules known as "intermediate module" and on the other hand of the modules known as "end module".

The "linear control retarder" is made up of several "intermediate modules" assembled together and fixed to the traffic lane, each end of said "linear control retarder" being provided with an "end module".

Each of the "intermediate modules" has over its entire length an upper plane called "active plane" preferably rectangular and horizontal and on each side of this "active plane" an inclined plane called "rolling plane" to allow the wheels of a vehicle to overcome the "linear retarder of control". Each of the “rolling planes” has at the bottom part mechanical means for fixing to the ground, for example holding tabs called “ground fixing”. Each "intermediate module" forms a hollow volume delimited in the upper part by the "active plane", laterally and on the two long sides of the "active plane" by two "rolling plane", in the lower part by a horizontal plane called the "plane support "and at each end, by a plane perpendicular to the" active plane "and to the" support plane "called" grip plane ".

Each of the "end modules" has on the one hand a part of the same shape and construction as the "intermediate module" to which it is mechanically assembled, that is to say an "active plane", two "rolling plane ", A" support plane ", a" grip plane "and a part preferably in a semicircle and slope called" end plane ", to allow the wheels of a vehicle to overcome the" linear retarder control ".

The "intermediate module" is of two models and two different functions, a first model called "inspection module" and a second model called "immobilization module".

Advantageously, the “inspection module” has on its “active plane” at least one light bar preferably by line of successive LEDs called “light bar” and a plurality of fixed or orientable camera objectives. called "image camera". Its internal volume includes mechanical, electrical, electronic and optical means allowing the activation of the underbody lighting of the vehicle, the activation and / or the orientation of the "cameras" and any other means of detection, in particular infrared. Each of the “attachment plan” of each of the “intermediate module” is arranged to allow the passage from one module to the other of the electrical conductors and other means of intercommunication between the various assembled modules, for example an orifice known as “ technical passage ”.

Advantageously, the “immobilization module” has on its “active plane” a succession of erectile movable plates, preferably articulated around a longitudinal median axis, said articulated movable plates called “harrow tooth” being of shape, position and dimensions adapted to allow the tearing and bursting of the tires of a vehicle. Each of the "attachment planes" of each of the "immobilization modules" is provided with a "technical passage" to allow the passage from one module to the other electrical conductors and other means of intercommunication.

Once the “linear control retarder” assembled and installed on the access road of a sensitive area to be controlled, the transmission between the “linear control retarder” of the invention and the control station located at a minimum distance from 200 meters from said "linear retarder control" is carried out by wired network and / or remote transmission. The installation provides, for example, a first intermediate means called “store”, placed within a radius preferably less than 100 meters from the “camera” and preferably connected by wired network, as well as a second intermediate means called “Wifi transmitter”. »Located less than 100 meters from said" store "and in particular linked to it by wired network, accessible by remote transmission to a tablet or computer placed in the control post more than 200 meters from the place of inspection or in its environment.

The invention therefore makes it possible to remotely illuminate the underside of a vehicle body and inspect it by means of a “camera” and their zoom, in order to verify that no weapon, no explosive, no human presence or object is hidden there and in the case of a suspect vehicle keep it at the place of inspection by activating from the tablet or the computer of the control post, the "harrow teeth" of the "module (s) immobilization ”which will prohibit its movement.

The “store” allows the recording of the images recorded by the cameras and their transmission or remote transmission via the “Wifi transmitter”, to a tablet or a computer of the control station, it also allows the recording and memorization of the number plates of vehicles checked to guarantee traceability.

Each “intermediate module”, whether it is an “inspection module” or “immobilization module”, is autonomous and allows the installer to build, according to his wishes and requirements, the “linear control retarder” best suited to the situation, for example only one or more “inspection modules” or one or more “inspection modules” associated with one or more “immobilization modules”.

The state of the art has revealed several patents describing underbody control devices for vehicles by means of cameras which are generally mobile, but no device functionally combining inspection means and immobilization means has been noted.
