HARNESS THE POWER OF AI TO ENHANCE PASSENGER
SAFETY AND MAXIMIZE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Rail and transit passenger expectaons for
safety and security are higher than ever.
Transit agencies that have regained their
pre-pandemic ridership levels have made
signicant investments in vehicle cleanliness,
platform and route security patrols, in-
vehicle surveillance systems, and rolling stock
maintenance, to name just a few. But are these
investments enough to meet the expectaons
of the modern transit passenger?
THE CHALLENGE: PASSENGERS DEMAND
— AND DESERVE — INCREASED SAFETY
AND SECURITY
The urgency for the public transit industry is to respond with
some haste to the needs of passengers regarding safety and
security on their transportaon systems. The traveling public
has been well-educated on what technologies and capabilies
exist to make all public places safer and more secure, most
notably the vast capabilies of arcial intelligence (AI) and
surveillance. Most transit operators, however, are not well-
equipped to expediously idenfy soluons and the resources
needed to make these soluons a reality. If safety and security
soluons are not accomplished, regaining and growing ridership
will be delayed or never occur.
To regain and grow ridership while simultaneously managing risk,
transit authories need to leverage emerging technologies to
gain visibility into real-me passenger behavior and movement
on their systems. Previously, these technologies have primarily
included the widespread adoption of video surveillance.
However, transit agencies now require addional me and
resources to take full advantage of AI’s capabilies and what
their transit security systems are surveilling.
AI POWERS THE NEXT GENERATION OF
TRANSIT SAFETY AND SECURITY
For many, the jury may sll be out regarding how eecve and
safe the use of AI is in their daily lives. But in public transportaon,
AI is already proving to be a vital tool in leveling up safety and
security systems. Transportaon agencies can harness the power
of AI-driven video analycs (VA) to improve video surveillance
and security assessments, gain real-me insight into passenger
acvity and trends, and assure passengers of a safe and secure
journey.
The specific benefits to public transit safety and security
include the real-time detection of weapons or threats to
safety, unaended packages or other objects, and even when
passengers or pedestrians may have fallen into the path of an
oncoming vehicle.
WHAT ARE AI-DRIVEN VIDEO ANALYTICS?
Modern, automated video analycs use AI technologies in
real me to process surveillance video and the corresponding
informaon to assess passenger behavior and onboard acvity.
In some cases, the AI-driven VA technology can even receive and
process data from previously installed rail and bus surveillance
systems, depending upon their age and conguraon.
The VA soluon processes the data in real me from what is
collected inside the transit vehicle and at transit plaorms and
facilies to oer “as-it-is-happening” insight into:
• Passenger safety;
• Security threats and potenal criminal acvity; and
• Ridership and passenger ow trends.
How important is safety and security
surveillance technology to public
transit passengers?
