Abstract

General Sensing Systems (GSS) has developed a new seismic, unattended small size module that detects and identifies not only human footsteps but also light and heavy vehicles with near zero false alarm rates. This module has extremely low power consumption and can operate for several months using standard commercial batteries. This paper describes the design of this module that can communicate with any radio transducer or computer. We also report on the preliminary lab and field testing that was implemented in various environment conditions. We show that the new unattended, small size detection module demonstrates the same reliable performance as our previous footstep detection systems and has the added capability of detecting and identifying light and heavy vehicles.
