Ukrainian Metro to Get Early Threat Detection Systems
Such systems are expected to warn of emergencies in advance.
During construction, automated systems for early detection of emergencies will be installed in the metro.
This building standard has been in effect in Ukraine since September of this year, said Deputy Minister of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Utilities Lev Partskhaladze.
"Technologies and solutions make it possible to promptly and automatically detect possible breakdowns and threats and respond to emergencies. This is important for people's safety. Such systems are primarily used at strategic facilities and in places with large crowds of people. The metro — is one of those," — the official noted.
According to him, new, as well as repaired and reconstructed metro facilities will be equipped with special sensors for monitoring deformation of building structures, designed to detect fires, short circuits, flooding, collapses and other situations of natural and man-made origin.
Such sensors should
- automatically detect threats of an emergency, for example, detect a crack in a wall or a risk of fire
- promptly report this to the dispatcher
- minimize the influence of the human factor on threat detection as much as possible
Earlier it became known that Ukrainian mobile operators and the municipal enterprise Kyiv Metro are agreeing on technical documentation and a working project for launching 4G in the capital's metro.
The capital's metro has introduced new rules.
