Transport operators are facing growing challenges. They need to keep services running on time, amid continually changing restrictions and also factor in security, health & safety, emerging technology, and amenities.
Transport surveillance and security
The eBook ‘Data-Driven Transport Surveillance and Security’, produced by Synectics, looks at these challenges and provides a guide to best practice solutions, and approaches for tackling them, using data integration and analysis. It explains how operators can connect surveillance technology with other data sources, to deliver a complete picture of operations and manage responses to any given scenario.
Dr. Kerstin Wendt, Regional Manager at Synectics, is a contributing editor. She said “Just imagine something going wrong, with turnstiles just as a nearby sports event finishes. Passengers will, of course, be frustrated at not being able to get home, but there’s also a potential crush risk.”
Data harnessing to detect turnstiles
By harnessing data, an open architecture system can detect whether the turnstiles have gone down via an access control alert"
Dr. Kerstin Wendt adds, “By harnessing data, an open architecture system can detect whether the turnstiles have gone down via an access control alert, notify the maintenance team to inspect and fix the problem, and dispatch a customer liaison team to the turnstiles.”
She further said, “This is just one example of how the right solution can support staff with decision making, safety and even passenger satisfaction. But, operators need to know the options available to them, so as to capitalise on the opportunities that data integration presents. Which is why we thought developing this e-book was so important.”
The eBook contains advice for operators on:
- The range of systems and data sources that can be unified on a single unified platform and why this is beneficial
- Automating the management of day-to-date tasks and response protocols
- Using analytics to help improve risk detection and even drive revenue generation
