Reconfigurable enclosure system with barrier continuity loop intrusion detection
An enclosure system including barrier segments and at least one electrical cable coupled to each barrier segment. Each electrical cable having electrical connectors disposed at each of a first terminus and a second terminus of the electrical cable. Each electrical connector is releasably coupled to another electrical connector of an adjacent electrical cable to form at least one continuity loop through the barrier segments. Each continuity loop includes two electrical terminal ends disposed at free ends of the continuity loop. A comparator system is coupled to a respective continuity loop and is configured to generate a closed loop signal when electrical current flows to the comparator system from one of the two electrical terminal ends of the respective continuity loop, and an open loop signal when electrical current ceases to flow to the comparator system from the one of the two electrical terminal ends of the respective continuity loop.

WORK ZONE INTRUSION ALERT SYSTEM
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for warning workers in a work zone of a potential intrusion by a vehicle. The example system can comprise a master device, coupled with one or more boundary markers using a tripwire. When the trip wire, and/or one of the boundary markers, is impacted with sufficient force, the tripwire is disengaged from the master device. Once disengaged, the master device can transmit a wireless alert signal to one or more portable alerter, such as worn by workers. The portable alerters can receive the signal and activate a personnel alert, such as an audible, visual, or other sensory alert. In this way, an alert is provided to personnel working in an established work zone that a potentially threatening vehicle has penetrated the work zone perimeter. This type of alert may provide the personnel the vital seconds needed to move to safety.
