Abstract: Techniques for managing a border crossing are provided including automatically establishing a vehicle-to-border communication link with a border checkpoint server in response to the vehicle crossing into a geo-fenced area associated with a customs and border protection (CBP) checkpoint. The CBP server is granted temporary control of internal and external vehicular devices such as cameras, sensors, and communication devices associated with the vehicle to provide vehicle, occupant and cargo identification information. The vehicle, occupant, and cargo identification information is relayed to the CBP server and validated based on occupant responses to automated virtual assistant (VA) CBP interview queries, generated by the CBP server. The vehicle is automatically receiving granted access to a fast pass lane of the CBP checkpoint in response to the vehicle, occupant and cargo identification being validated by the CBP server.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting changes in real estate properties for a public safety purpose. An example method includes receiving images of a residential or commercial property and comparing pairs of received images corresponding to different dates to detect structural changes to the property. The method further includes accessing a property permit database to identify unpermitted structural changes and triggering an anomaly check directed at detecting: a first anomaly associated with the type of unpermitted change; a second anomaly associated with an individual residing on the property; and a third anomaly associated with the property based on a public-safety record. The method further includes, in response to at least one of the first, second, and third anomalies having been detected, performing at least one specific automated responsive action through the corresponding system.
