Sony Video Security driven by Bosch

Video surveillance plays an important role in making

every passenger’s journey safe and comfortable.

And with around 350,000 km of railway track in Europe

alone, it’s also essential to keep every train operator’s

infrastructure safe, secure and operating efficiently.

Public transportation operators face the challenge of

securing a wide range of assets and environments

under their responsibility. Providing reliable round-

the-clock video coverage in these areas puts special

demands on the image quality that a camera provides.

Sony’s video security cameras have a proven track

record in thousands of transportation, corporate

and critical infrastructure installations worldwide.

Their excellent image quality, reliability and system

performance present an ideal solution to address

these mission-critical demands.

Video security for rail public transportationRail public transportation is a uniquely popular and convenient travel option, counting for billions of passenger journeys worldwide each year.

Station surveillance: protecting people & property around the clockVideo surveillance at train stations is of utmost importance

to ensure the safety of travellers, employees and railway

operators’ property. A wide range of potential risks includes

assaults on staff and passengers, injury or death caused by

falling onto the tracks, as well as unauthorised access to

sensitive areas and the threat of terrorism. In addition, rail

infrastructure owners face the indirect costs of repairing

damage caused by vandalism and cleaning up graffiti.

On board surveillance: making every journey safer

On board security cameras in train carriages can help reduce

crime and antisocial behaviour, from assaults to theft,

vandalism and graffiti. As well as offering a highly visible

deterrent, they can also provide valuable video evidence to

support railway operators and law enforcement authorities

when incidents occurs. This includes situations involving staff

or passengers in the carriage, as well as incidents that occur

while the train is in motion, e.g. entering or exiting a station.

Sony video security cameras are equipped with powerful built-in

image analysis and detection capabilities. Used to dynamically

alert staff or security personnel of suspicious activity, this can also

help reduce network bandwidth requirements and video storage

requirements.

A large variety of compatible third party video management

systems and analytics software solutions are available from

market-leading vendors. These can provide additional intelligence

for automated detection of relevant situations, investigation

of incidents and even enable new sources of revenue for

infrastructure owners, offering value-added business insights to

retailers and other ‘customers’ of rail transportation operators.

Track surveillance & level crossings : managing risk effectively Surveillance of tracks and level crossings is critical for

rail operators to ensure the safety and efficiency of their

operations.Forexample,itcanprovideatimelywarning

of collisions between rolling stock with vehicles, people

or livestock on tracks or at crossings. In these situations,

it is essential to provide cameras that can reliably capture

high-quality image around the clock, under any lighting

conditions - and in harsh environmental conditions

including wide temperature changes through the seasons.
