Centre Secure Area Surveillance

This equipment package monitors surveillance inputs from secure areas in the transportation system. The surveillance may be of secure areas frequented by travellers (i.e., transit stops, transit stations, rest areas, park and ride lots, modal interchange facilities, on-board a transit vehicle, etc.) or around transportation infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels and transit railways or guideways. It provides both video and audio surveillance information to emergency personnel and automatically alerts emergency personnel of potential incidents.

Subsystem:

• Emergency Management Subsystem

Service Packages:

• Early Warning System
• Transportation Infrastructure Protection
• Transit Security
• Personal Security and MAYDAY Support

Functionality:

Functional Requirements:

1. The centre shall remotely monitor video images and audio surveillance data collected in secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guideways). The data may be raw or pre-processed in the field.
2. The centre shall remotely monitor video images and audio surveillance data collected in traveller secure areas, which include transit stations, transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, and other fixed sites along travel routes (e.g., emergency pull-off areas and travel information centres). The data may be raw or pre-processed in the field.
3. The centre shall remotely monitor video images and audio surveillance data collected on-board transit vehicles. The data may be raw or pre-processed in the field.
4. The centre shall exchange surveillance data with other emergency centres.
5. The centre shall identify potential security threats based on collected security surveillance data.
6. The centre shall verify potential security threats by correlating security surveillance data from multiple sources.
7. The centre shall remotely control security surveillance devices in secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guideways).
8. The centre shall remotely control security surveillance devices in traveller secure areas, which include transit stations, transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, and other fixed sites along travel routes (e.g., emergency pull-off areas and travel information centres).
9. The centre shall remotely control security surveillance devices on-board transit vehicles.
10. The centre shall match traveller video images against a database from the Alerting and Advisory Systems of known images that may represent criminals and terrorists.
11. The centre shall exchange traveller images with other emergency management centres to support traveller image matching.
12. The centre shall respond to control data from centre personnel regarding security surveillance data collection, processing, threat detection, and image matching.
13. The centre shall monitor maintenance status of the security sensor field equipment.
