Trailer Heartbeat — Stowaway & Intrusion Sensing
Feels a hidden person breathing inside a sealed trailer.
The physics is solid; our own validation is scheduled.
How it works
WiFi threads through cargo stacks and thin walls where no camera can look. A concealed person, even lying perfectly still, breathes — and that slow rhythm marks the signal. A break-in at rest is even louder: a sharp jolt plus a lasting change in the echo pattern of the doors.
In the physics: RF penetrates cargo stacks and thin walls; a concealed human adds a breathing-band micro-Doppler signature and perturbs multipath amplitudes even when motionless. Door breach and human entry create large transient Doppler plus a step change in CIR path structure.

How the field becomes an answer
How we prove it
Presence and through-wall detection are class-A on ESP32-wall (LOS/NLOS AUC 0.69) and OPERAnet; own experiment: loaded 40ft trailer, person concealed behind pallets at 3 depths, day-long empty-trailer false-alarm run.
Who it is for
Anti-stowaway and cargo-intrusion certification for cross-border fleets — one $100 mesh per trailer, sold to fleet security directors and customs-compliance officers facing clandestine-entrant fines.
