A
system for finding and rescuing persons in case of
an accident in the ATLAS area has been conceived by
ATLAS members. A large number of infrared sensors
installed at the experiment site will allow an operator
in the Control Room to follow the movements of all
persons in the ATLAS cavern. The system can be installed
at very low costs in virtually all types of environments
and is suitable in large areas such as mines where
people are often difficult to find. In case of emergency,
especially if smoke or fog is present, it helps a
rescue team to locate persons in danger.
