FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Click on a Project Inventory element from the list above to view functional requirements.

Center Secure Area Alarm Support

  • The center shall collect silent and audible alarms received from travelers in secure areas (such as transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, modal interchange facilities).
  • The center shall collect silent and audible alarms received from transit vehicles, originated by the traveler or the transit vehicle operator.
  • After the alarm message has been received, the center shall generate an alarm acknowledgment to the sender.
  • After the alarm message becomes a verified incident, the center shall determine the appropriate response.
  • The center shall determine whether the alarm message indicates an emergency that requires the attention of public safety agencies, and forward alarm message data to the appropriate agency as necessary.
  • The center shall forward the alarm message to center personnel and respond to the traveler or transit vehicle operator as directed by the personnel.

Center Secure Area Surveillance

  • The center 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.
  • The center shall remotely monitor video images and audio surveillance data collected in traveler 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 centers). The data may be raw or pre-processed in the field.
  • The center 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.
  • The center shall remotely control security surveillance devices in traveler 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 centers).
  • The center shall remotely control security surveillance devices on-board transit vehicles.

On-board Transit Security

  • The transit vehicle shall perform video and audio surveillance inside of transit vehicles and output raw video or audio data for either local monitoring (for processing or direct output to the transit vehicle operator), remote monitoring or for local storage (e.g., in an event recorder).
  • The transit vehicle shall perform local monitoring of video or audio surveillance data collected inside of transit vehicles, and identify potential incidents or threats based on received processing parameters.
  • The transit vehicle shall output an indication of potential incidents or threats and the processed video or audio information to the center along with the vehicle’s current location.
  • The transit vehicle shall monitor and output surveillance and sensor equipment status and fault indications.
  • The transit vehicle shall accept emergency inputs from either the transit vehicle operator or a traveler through such interfaces as panic buttons, silent or audible alarms, etc.
  • The transit vehicle shall output reported emergencies to the center.
  • The transit vehicle shall receive acknowledgments of the emergency request from the center and output this acknowledgment to the transit vehicle operator or to the travelers.

Remote Traveler Security

  • The public interface for travelers shall provide the capability for a traveler to report an emergency and summon assistance from secure areas such as transit stops, transit stations, modal transfer facilities, rest stops, park-and-ride areas, travel information areas, and emergency pull off areas.
  • When initiated by a traveler, the public interface for travelers shall forward a request for assistance to an emergency management function and acknowledge the request.
  • The public interface for travelers shall provide the capability to broadcast a message to advise or warn a traveler.
  • The public interface for travelers shall accept input and provide information to the traveler in a form suitable for travelers with physical disabilities.

Traveler Secure Area Surveillance

  • The field element shall include video and/or audio surveillance of traveler secure areas including transit stations, transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, and other fixed sites along travel routes (e.g., emergency pull-off areas and traveler information centers).
  • The field element shall be remotely controlled by a center.
  • The field element shall provide equipment status and fault indication of surveillance equipment to a center.
  • The field element shall provide raw video or audio data.
  • The field element shall remotely process video and audio data and provide an indication of potential incidents or threats to a center.
