A strategy choosing method for solving the problem of a guard movement while searching for a criminal under condi-tions of uncertainty

Abstract

The work is devoted to the issue of the complex use of technical means and physical security forces while ensuring the safety of several objects located in the controlled area. The method proposed is for solving the problem of choosing a strategy for searching for a criminal by a security officer while minimizing the time of knowing the direction of movement of the first one to one of the two objects. The proposed method is based on a criminal search strategy implemented by the security guards movement control system, which includes two straight sections of their path, which are formed based on information from the security alarm sensors. A mathematical model has been developed for calculating the parameters of controlling the movements of a guard and an algorithm for the control system operation, which makes it possible to implement an optimal search strategy depending on the location of objects, a guard, a criminal, and information from technical means of protection.
