Path Track monitors specific tags/paths for deviations 
The path track application is designed to make sure that People/Items follow predefined paths (location to location) within specified periods of time.  Any number of paths can be defined.  A path can consist of any number of location entries.  For each defined path any number of People/Items can be defined to follow specified paths.   Tracking of Items on paths does not commence until the Person/Item is seen at the path entry point (first path location).  Tracking on a path ceases when the Person/Item is seen at the Path Stop location.  The EPS Database is used to define the Path names, Path locations and tags used for each path.  Once a Person/Item has entered a path location, they have a user defined number of seconds to get to the next path location.  If more time elapses a "Left Path" event is sent to the Event Processor.  This event is in-turn sent to the Alarms application which can trigger any user defined event upon receiving the "Left Path" notification (this may be a Alphanumeric page, closing a relay, screen-pop, etc).  The same "Left Path" event is triggered if a Person/Item is seen at a location which is not the next scheduled location, in this case there is no delay, the "Left Path" event is sent to the event processor as soon as the Person/Item is seen at an unexpected location. 

The following screen shows a typical Path Track screen when no People/Items have entered a path. 


In the above there are two defined paths; Atrium Path and Healthcare Path.  One person may be tracked on the Atrium path and three may be tracked on the Healthcare Path.

The following screen shows the appearance after a tag has entered each path.


The CntDn column shows how much longer a tag may be seen at a location before a "Left Path" event is triggered.  If this count down timer expires the "Left Path" event is sent to the Event Processor and screen changes to show the "Alarmed" Person/Item.

The Paths Tab allows you to view the defined paths and allowed times at each location.   Person/Item and alarm state is also displayed on this screen as seen below.

The options tab allows you to define the tables appearance and the colors used. 
A typical Options screen is shown below.

The Path Track application would typically be used to implement a Handsfree Security Guard Tour Duty system or for tracking valuables within a facility (Cash Cart).  This application could certainly be used for other applications besides these.
