Abstract

A system which detects the human presence in forbidden areas includes a network of sensors which react to different stimuli. Their outputs are integrated according to a data fusion procedure, which ensure that a specified level of reliability is reached in spite of the local failures of the sensors, such as absence of reaction or false alarms. This paper presents the reliability evaluation of a particular configuration of sensors used in an underground station for detecting the presence of non-authorized people in dangerous areas.

This work has been performed in the project “Reliability of Multisensor Systems” in 1994–1995, within the framework of the Scientific Co-operation Programme between Romania and Germany.
