Transport Worker Safety Device & System
Mobile Safety Solutions For Transport and Transit Workers
March 2016: a train in Leola, PA in March 2016 stops at a crossing and blocks the road. It’s a common occurrence and in most cases the driving public are co-operative and compliant, but what happens when a member of the public becomes irrational or angry? This is one of those unforeseen but highly plausible situations where the train blocking the road became a source of frustration for a road user stopped at the crossroads. The driver of a truck threatened to shoot a maintenance employee working on the train and eventually threw rocks at him, causing minor injuries. When road meets rail in an interface area like a crossroads, there can be a reasonable expectation that neither of these network’s users enjoy the delay in their progress. While mostly co-operative and compliant, road users will occasionally seek to blame and even abuse rail staff for delays they experience. If these transport and transit workers are unaccompanied or without security measures like CCTV they could find themselves in situations where their personal safety is at a heightened risk . GuardianMPS allows these workers to discreetly set off a panic alarm if/when threats to their safety are felt or detected. GuardianMPS protects transport and transit workers by provides a check-in system with timer. If an employee checks in relative to their current assignments, locations and shift durations, GuardianMPS can operate a timer to countdown to the duration given. At that point, the system will place an automated safety call which can be answered with a simple key combination and an identifying PIN number. Should this not be answered an automated escalation to panic alarm occurs even if the phone has not been available. If they cannot answer because of injury the system immediately ties into an Emergency Response Center that has all of their personal details, a live audio feed as well as GPS location information when notifying the proper local authorities. Transport and Transit workers are mobile and frequently solitary workers and need simple but effective security systems to ensure their safety while at work.

Executive Safety FAQ
Do I need to turn off the device to charge it?
No. It is a good practice though, as starting up resets everything to its optimum configuration. When you first get your device it is preferable to leave it charging overnight so that any software updates can be sent.
Device communications
The amber light will flash fast while booting up, then show 2 quick flashes every 5 seconds. This indicates the device is connected with the GuardianMPS server.
Connectivity
The blue light flashing indicates network and GPS communications. When connected to a 4G network, the device can connect the panic alarm call to our monitoring center. When the device sends us GPS coordinates, we can pinpoint your location. We give the location coordinates to the police if we need to dispatch them to help you.
The device will flash blue alternating as below:
1 Flash = GPS enabled, followed by;
3 Flashes = Connected to 3G
If the single flash is not showing, the device is not receiving GPS (typically due to buildings obscuring the signal). The device stores the previous GPS data even though new GPS data is not being received. That location will be sent to the response center. If the single blue flash cannot be seen, move to an outside position clear of tall building, that will ensure there is up to date GPS data.
Is the device waterproof?
To a point. It is rated to be splashed with water, but total immersion is not advised.
What if I accidently press the SOS button?
Depending on the response protocol, our monitoring center or a supervisor will try and contact you on your cell phone. In addition, the response service records any audio from the device. The response center can determine if there is a struggle, a code word or sentence being used, or just general background noise.
Is there a way for me to log visits in case I can’t raise an alarm on the device?
