A knowledge-based system increases the quality of guarding public and private places and buildings by using geomatic technologies.
The domestic system is produced with the support of the Development of Space Technologies and Advanced Transportation Headquarters of the Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology, the news portal of the vice-presidency, Isti.ir, reported.
Based on the Geographical Information System, the domestic system helps monitor all guarding actions online by customizing the program of each complex or building.
The main objective of this smart system is to mechanize all the internal and external guarding and patrolling procedures by devising a foolproof strategy to protect all important and strategic areas.
With the complete simulation of an organization or building, including routes and different areas, it is possible to formulate patrolling and guarding strategies that can be viewed on a portable device.
A guarding system should provide online verification and monitoring while carrying out protective operations and then reporting and evaluating their performance.
By using and combining GPS, GPRS, NFC and GIS technologies, the system helps simulate different places by creating architectural maps.
In general, this system increases the productivity of guards, who are the main and most effective security elements in public and private areas.
The pilot phase of this system was implemented at the headquarters of the Energy Ministry and could be currently executed throughout the country.
First-Ever QRNG Developed in Iran
A knowledge-based company has produced a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG), which is exclusively patented by a few countries, for the first time in Iran.
QRNGs are used in various fields such as information security, financial security and computing.
All digital systems that use encryption algorithms for any purpose, from simple alarm systems to computers and servers of sensitive centers, all have a random number generation process or system that they use as their encryption key generator.
QRNG produced by the domestic company generates quantum random numbers at a high and acceptable rate, with the help of the laws of quantum mechanics, using laser phase noise. These random numbers are available to users through standard communication mechanisms.
Generating random numbers with an unpredictable pattern is necessary in sensitive communication systems.
In systems based on quantum cryptography, QRNG is used as the main core of data production related to cryptography, and it is considered an essential requirement for such security systems.
If quantum cryptographic systems use classical sources of random number generation, they will suffer from security weakness and flaws, and make the systems vulnerable to attacks.
Quantum random number generators also strengthen current classical cryptographic systems and improve their security to a great extent.
The device can also be used in research departments related to the development of quantum and biotech technologies. It can be used in encryption systems, neural network calculations, one-time password generation and as the central core of random number generation system.
The device is necessary for banks, military centers for generating codes in border and war communication systems, research centers performing simulations, academic centers and biological and physical research institutes that need to produce unpredictable codes and random numbers.
The Iranian quantum random number generation system is the first industrial product in the field of quantum technology in West Asia and the first truly secure random generator, providing data security in post-quantum encryption systems and completely safe random numbers at a rate of 500 megabits per second.
Geoinformatics Helps Rescue Forces in Weather Phenomena
A knowledge-based company has developed a geoinformatics system to improve the quality of rescue missions.
The system, developed by Kavosh Sepehr Lotus Company, helps rescue forces predict the time and size of an atmospheric phenomenon’s occurrence and determine the weather condition of the place where a natural or manmade disaster has occurred.
The knowledge-based system has entered its final stage with the support of the headquarters for the development of technologies of the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology, the latter’s news portal reported.
The main user of this knowledge-based meteorological geoinformatics system is the Iran Red Crescent Society (known as Helal Ahmar in Persian).
In the design of this system, three main factors were considered: collecting data of highly populated areas, calculating the risk caused by different weather phenomena and informing the rescue forces, and accuracy in specifying the size of the weather phenomenon.
Eight phenomena that can give rise to a human and financial toll based on the country’s climatic conditions have been taken into account by the system so that before and during the occurrence of an accident, a notification is sent to the respective rescue forces so that timely actions could be taken.
The system makes it possible to get access to the risk predictions of different phenomena and their intensity for each region, down to the district level, for different periods of time. Such data could also help prevent a likely catastrophe in the event of a severe weather phenomenon.
Weather-related events are the most important cause of damages that require the assistance of rescue forces.
Studies indicate that 25% of road accidents also occur due to bad weather conditions, hence accurate information about weather conditions and related risks assist IRCS forces in taking precautionary measures and preparing for any eventuality.
