Large scale examination systems at airports, border crossings, and seaports will integrate multiple sensors because single-sensor systems can be easily defeated. Sensors will consist of radiation and neutron imaging, chemical and vapor sampling, scale weight, radiation measurement, license plate reader, fingerprint reader, infrared devices, acoustical measurements, or real-time video. Trials with multiple sensors have resulted in both increased inspection throughput and accuracy. Throughput is increased because fast sensors can quickly identify potential problem cargoes. Slower sensors can continue to probe problem cargoes, while the other cargoes exit the examination cycle. Multisensor systems increase accuracy because the Analyst has more and better information. Better information makes for better decisions. The information available is not only sensor information, but also the bill of lading for the cargo, intelligence reports, and the prior history of the shipper and consignee. Every contemporary information source/sensor is usually supplied with its own computer. Every computer can be from a different vendor creating a heterogeneous network. For cargo examination, all of the information must be collected from each of the heterogeneous computers. After collection, an integrated presentation must be provided to the analyst for a decision. Following analysis, the collected data must be archived. ExamFolder¨ Technology Integrator is the tradename for an approach to collecting, presenting, and archiving cargo examination information in a multivendor computer environment. The ExamFolder approach exploits an open system and open technologies.
