Concept of chemical subsystem of the innovative system for detecting hidden people in transport (CHS-ISDHPT)

The concept of Chemical Subsystem of the Innovative System for Detecting Hidden People in Transport (CHS-ISDHPT) is one of three subsystems of the Mobile Operating Platform (MOP-ISDHPT). The MOP-ISDHPT will be used to increase the detection of illegal smuggling of people. The chemical subsystem will consist of: a transport platform, a sample conditioning system, a gas chromatograph coupled with an ion-mobility spectrometer (GC-IMS), and a data integrator. Two concepts of CHS-ISDHPT development are considered, differing in the location of the GC-IMS installation. Apart from the location of the GC-IMS, both concepts differ in the method of measurement, ease of use, detection limit, and exposure of the analytical equipment to environmental conditions.
