ISS (Intelligent Security Systems) and data awareness solutions and systems integrator Wireless Guardian have announced the successful deployment of the former’s SecurOS UVSS (Under Vehicle Surveillance System) at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida, to improve stadium security.
The companies say that their engineers worked with local law enforcement authorities along with officials from the stadium management company, ASM Global and security firm, S.A.F.E. Management to deploy UVSS units at the stadium’s loading docks and athlete/performer entries to scan all vehicles entering the facility.
The SecurOS UVSS is a compact solution specially designed to screen the undercarriage of vehicles for explosives, illegal contraband, damages/anomalies and other prohibited items.
In addition to providing high-quality undercarriage scans, the UVSS can also be integrated with license plate recognition (LPR) and access control systems to provide a comprehensive solution for vehicle ingress and egress in a wide variety of operating environments.
At a recent Monday Night Football game, approximately 100 vehicle undercarriages – ranging from large delivery trucks and commercial vehicles to police and civilian cars and even golf carts – were scanned by the AI-powered system to detect a wide variety of threats.
In conjunction with the UVSS, ISS’ SecurOS Auto LPR/ANPR software was also used to further enhance stadium security by creating a complete profile for each vehicle, including their class, color, make and model.
“ISS has a long history of providing solutions that secure large events – from the Rio Olympics to the recent FIFA World Cup in Qatar,” said Matt Powell, Managing Director for North America at ISS.
“Now, we are bringing these lessons learned to North America by partnering with Wireless Guardian to help stadiums and other venues take advantage of the benefits of our patented UVSS solution.
“Our teams worked together flawlessly to deliver the results that ASM Global and EverBank Stadium needed on an important night and I look forward to continuing this success with Wireless Guardian, combining solutions to provide full awareness at events and venues around the US.”
