Transportation

 
Airports, seaports, bus terminals and train and metro stations face security and safety challenges due to the high number of passengers passing through such mass transportation hubs. Recognizing the number of people present in such facilities, which can reach tens of thousands at any one time, it is imperative to be aware of security or safety breaches that cause major interruptions, or even, tragic ramifications.
 
Agent Vi’s products are well suited to serving mass transportation hubs, as they effortlessly pinpoint security breaches, alert to safety hazards, protect valuable assets, provide data and information to enhance operational efficiency and offer powerful forensic analysis capabilities.

 

Challenge
Response
Real-time Detection of Perimeter Intrusion & Secure Zone Breaches
 
  • Detect breaches of a secure perimeter
  • Detect motion in restricted / sensitive zones
  • Detect entry into sensitive areas during non-operational hours
  • Detect unauthorized (tailgating) entry into secure zones
  • Detect vessels approaching sensitive / specified areas
Detect Unattended Objects
  • Detect objects left unattended for a pre-defined period of time in sensitive areas such as platforms, waiting hall
Identify Suspicious Activity
  • Detect motion counter to the general traffic flow
  • Detect loitering in areas of interest
  • Detect stopped vehicles in no stopping zones
  • Detect camera blocking or tampering
  • Automatically track the movement of suspicious people and vehicles using PTZ cameras
  • Detect grouping in sensitive areas to avoid potential attacks or threats

 


 

 

Challenge
Response
Post-Event Analysis
  • Enable rapid and automated back-tracking in stored video to pinpoint events / behaviors to their origin and thereby better inform law enforcement operations and tactical responses
  • Enable an automated search for events / behaviors / targets to obtain forensic evidence


 

 

Challenge
Response
Real-time Detection of Blocked Emergency Passages / Exits
  • Detect blockages to fire and other emergency exits
  • Detect vehicles blocking emergency lanes or stopped in restricted zones
Traffic Obstacles
  • Detect vehicles stalled or purposefully stopped on train tracks or in other time-sensitive or restricted zones or fire lanes
  • Detect traffic obstacles on roads, and in adjacent areas like rest lanes, exit lanes and emergency lanes
Movement in Restricted Areas
  • Detect passengers walking in unauthorized areas (train tracks, roads), allowing intervention before major collisions and catastrophes
  • Detect people falling off the metro or train platforms onto the tracks
  • Detect people in restricted (vehicle-only) zones such as roadways, train tracks, tunnels and tarmacs
Crowding
  • Detect passenger density and crowding on train and metro platforms to avoid accidents
  • Count people entering enclosed areas to ensure that the number of people present does not exceed the recommended limits
Traffic Congestion / Violations
  • Detect exceptions to the general traffic flow to ensure smooth movement
  • Detect private vehicles traveling in lanes reserved for public transportation
  • Measure traffic activity (parking lot, adjacent paths) to enable better planning to avoid congestion, improve traffic flow and maintain clear access points


 

 

Challenge
Response
Measuring Traffic
 
  • Count the traffic flow (people / vehicles) in defined areas or entering / exiting secure zones / facilities to make appropriate staffing and resource allocation decisions
  • Analyze movement of people / vehicles across different time periods to better manage traffic flow
Traffic Congestion
  • Analyze traffic paths to better understand traffic flow and adjust procedures accordingly, such as arranging queues for ticketing 
  • Count vehicles in order to analyze traffic flow at different hours and days, and make plans for allotment of lanes and opening and closing of exits
Queue Formation 
  • Detect queues (checkpoints, ticketing) that exceed thresholds prompting additional allocation of staff
