Equipment Package: Center Secure Area Surveillance

Description: This equipment package monitors surveillance inputs from secure areas in the transportation system. The surveillance may be of secure areas frequented by travelers (i.e., transit stops, transit stations, rest areas, park and ride lots, modal interchange facilities, on-board a transit vehicle, etc.) or around transportation infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels and transit railways or guideways. It provides both video and audio surveillance information to emergency personnel. It automatically alerts emergency personnel of potential incidents.

These systems and sensors shall be monitored by central dispatch.
2.4.2.5 - SS shall include sensors for metal (and other object) detection on board the public transit vehicle (bus, rail car), and at key locations, including rest areas, transit stops and stations, and transit facilities (i.e., transit yards and shops), to detect contraband, such as knives, guns, and other potential weapons.
2.4.2.6 - SS shall include a method of intrusion detection (or motion detection) at transit facilities (i.e., transit yards and shops).
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.).
2.4.2.8 - SS shall include the capability for biometric analysis of video images.
2.4.2.9 - SS shall include integration of sensor inputs and possible threat analysis.
2.4.2.10 - SS shall include sharing of sensor information with appropriate security agencies or systems to assist in analysis of possible threats.

4.5.4.2 - HS shall provide a roadside security sensitive HAZMAT security (RHS) function.
4.5.4.2.5 - RHS shall include the capability to notify traffic management agencies when unauthorized security sensitive HAZMAT activity has been detected and verified.
4.5.4.3 - HS shall include a Driver Authentication function (DA)
4.5.4.3.7 - DA shall include the capability to notify traffic management if an unauthorized driver attempts to operate the vehicle.
5.0 - EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
5.1 - EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION AND PERSONAL SECURITY
5.1.3 - ENPS shall include a Remote Security and Emergency Monitoring (RSEM) function to create an environment of safety in secure areas.
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.
5.1.3.2.1.3 - 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.
5.1.3.2.2 - SS shall allow operators to monitor and control operation of surveillance and sensor devices including operator override.
5.1.3.2.3 - SS shall allow operators to verify an alarm.

5.3 - DISASTER RESPONSE AND EVACUATION
5.3.0 - ITS shall provide a Disaster Response and Evacuation (DRE) function that provides for effective, coordinated management of the surface transportation system during all types of disasters including natural disasters (hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, severe winter storms, tsunamis, etc.), terrorist acts, and other catastrophic events (e.g., nuclear power plant disasters). Two primary subservices are provided: (1) Disaster Response and (2) Evacuation Coordination. The Disaster Response Subservice provides support for planning, transportation management, resource sharing, and information coordination between transportation agencies and principal responding agencies (emergency management, public safety, and other allied agencies) to improve the effectiveness and safety of a disaster response. The Disaster Response Subservice consists of eight major functions: 1) Coordinate Response Plans, 2) Monitor Alert Levels, 3) Detect and Verify Emergency, 4) Assess Infrastructure Status, 5) Coordinate Response, 6) Critical Service Restoration, 7) Manage Area Transportation, and 8) Disaster Traveler Information. The Evacuation Coordination (EC) Subservice efficiently manages an evacuation and provides evacuees with the information they need during evacuation and subsequent reentry to the evacuated area. The Evacuation Coordination (EC) subservice includes four additional major functions: 9) Evacuation Planning Support, 10) Evacuation Traveler Information, 11) Evacuation Transportation Management, and 12) Evacuation Resource Sharing.
