How MicroSearch® Works

MicroSearch includes a computer, digital control box, small vehicle and ground sensors and cables. The magnetic vehicle sensors, when placed on a vehicle or a container, determine whether a human is inside without the time-consuming and expensive task of unloading and inspecting the entire vehicle or container and all of the contents. The ground sensors mitigate any nearby environmental vibrations for increased accuracy.

The sensors, similar to those used to measure earthquakes, measure the tiny movements or vibrations transmitted to a suspension system. Based on the vibrations, MicroSearch indicates if an individual is present. In mere seconds, MicroSearch can determine whether or not a further search is required.

Optional wireless sensors offer the same reliability and accuracy as wired sensors, and offer improved flexibility and convenience. They are completely interchangeable with wired sensors, and require no additional investment.

Benefits

MicroSearch® is ideal for vehicle and container inspections at correctional facilities, border crossings, ferry ports, seaports, and high-value facilities.

• Reliability — Accurate results in a variety of environmental conditions, including dry, dusty, wet, and hot or cold environments
