Field Secure Area Surveillance Equipment Package

Description:

Security surveillance devices (audio/video) that monitor facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, and transit railways or guideways).

Included in:

TAPS Maintenance Facility Video Surveillance System
TxDOT Paris District Infrastructure Monitoring Equipment

Functional Requirements:

1	The field element shall include video and/or audio surveillance of secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guideways).
2	The field element shall be remotely controlled by a center.
3	The field element shall provide equipment status and fault indication of surveillance equipment to a center.
4	The field element shall provide raw video or audio data.
5	The field element shall remotely process video and audio data and provide an indication of potential incidents or threats to a center.

User Service Requirements (fully or partially addressed):

2.0	PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
2.4	PUBLIC TRAVEL SECURITY
2.4.1	PTS shall include specific Secure Areas.
2.4.1.1(g)	Transit facilities (e.g. transit yards and shops).
2.4.1.1(h)	Transit infrastructure (rail tracks, tunnels, bridges, bus guideways, etc.).
2.4.2	PTS shall include a Security Sensors (SS) function.
2.4.2.2	SS shall include video and audio systems at key locations, including rest areas, transit stops and stations, and transit facilities (i.e., transit yards and shops), to monitor activities, incidents, and potential threats. These systems and sensors shall be monitored by central dispatch.
2.4.2.7	SS shall include video, audio, intrusion (or motion) detection, and infrastructure integrity monitoring of transit infrastructure (rail track, bridges, tunnels, bus guideways, etc.).

5.1.3.2	RSEM shall include a Surveillance and Sensors (SS) function.
5.1.3.2.1	SS shall provide surveillance and sensor technology and the data processing required to alert operators and appropriate agencies of potential incidents and threats at the Secure Areas.
5.1.3.2.1.1	SS shall include both video and audio surveillance systems at key locations in the Secure Area to monitor activities.
5.1.3.2.1.3	SS shall provide data processing based on surveillance and sensor inputs to determine when an anomaly or suspicious activity (vehicle or human) has been detected in the Secure Area and alert the operators, travelers, appropriate agencies and organizations of a security threat.
