Gatekeeper
Receives
First Intelligent Temperature Sensing System
Contract for
School
Buses
Abbotsford,
BC, Canada -- August 6, 2020 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Gatekeeper
Systems Inc. ('Gatekeeper' or the 'Company')
(TSX-V: GSI) (OTC: GKPRF) (FSE: 1GK) a leading provider of
intelligent video solutions for public transport and smart
cities, is pleased to announce that
the Company has been contracted by a school district in
the US to
equip
their
fleet of
more than
100 school buses with
Intelligent
Temperature Sensing Systems (ITSSTM)
that will
measure the body
temperature of students while boarding the bus. Installation is expected to
begin in
September 2020.
Doug Dyment, CEO
of Gatekeeper, commented:
"We are pleased that
our school
district customers have shown
immediate positive interest in our well-designed temperature
sensing solution. For more than a decade we
have delivered innovative technology-based solutions to improve safety for the 25
million school children who ride 500,000 school buses daily in the
US alone. We are in constant dialogue with our
school district customers to offer helpful solutions as they manage
through this pandemic, and we are proud to launch ITSS as the industry's best
temperature sensing solution for school buses and transit
authorities."
ITSS is a contactless system that
measures the temperature of the
inner canthus
(tear duct) and determines body temperature
within 20 milliseconds
using
thermal
imaging, artificial
intelligence,
and video
analytics.
Visual and
audible alarms are triggered
when
temperature
thresholds are
exceeded. When passengers board a bus, the
ITSS panel records body
temperature within a range of
0.6-meters at an accuracy of +/- 0.5 degree
Celsius.
The
7-inch
ITSS panel is equipped with facial
recognition capabilities to improve accuracy,
and which also
allows customers to
pursue
future
applications such as intelligent passenger routing, contact
tracing, passenger counting, or payment
verification. The panel
records images within 40 milliseconds
and has storage capacity of 50,000 facial images.
Over the past
seven years Gatekeeper has installed approximately 28,000
intelligent mobile data collectors and
97,000 video cameras on school buses, transit
buses and trains, which forms the
foundation of the
Company's Platform-as-a-Service
("PaaS") business model. The intelligent devices collect vehicle
data such as video, audio, GPS, time, door
open/close, and serve
as
the
"black box" to
aid in transit accident investigations. The video evidence data is
also used by transit authorities to protect against fraudulent
claims. The PaaS units
are
WiFi
enabled, mobile
connected,
or mobile enabled, allowing public
transport
assets to become
part of the intelligent transportation solution in a Smart City
ecosystem.
The PaaS
platform will also serve as the
AI-based intelligence platform for future applications such as
thermal camera sensors (ITSS), passenger counting
and
contact
tracing. The Company is
actively
evaluating
additional
solutions
that will
layer onto the PaaS platform, including new
innovations that may be desired by transit authorities and Smart
Cities during and following the COVID-19
pandemic,
such as contact tracing, bus loading and intelligent
routing.
