Abstract

In methods and system for threat detection a mobile platform (12) equipped with a sensor (14) automatically searches for explosives, other security threats or unsafe conditions along a pathway such as the rail or rails of a railway transportation system. The platform (12) may move ahead of a vehicle, such as a train (26). The platform may include means (80, 90) for removing itself from the rails and/or may carry an air vehicle (128) for scanning ahead. Alternatively, a platform (12) may travel on rails near a location such as a bridge (138) or a port.
