Equipment Package: On-board Transit Security

Description: This equipment package provides security and safety functions on-board the transit vehicle. This includes surveillance and sensors to monitor the on-board environment, silent alarms that can be activated by transit user or vehicle operator, operator authentication, and a remote vehicle disable function. The surveillance equipment includes video (e.g. CCTV cameras), audio systems and/or event recorder systems. The sensor equipment includes threat sensors (e.g. chemical agent, toxic industrial chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological sensors) and object detection sensors(e.g. metal detectors).

2.4.1.2 - All public Secure Areas shall have traveler activated alarms monitored by central dispatch or local police.
2.4.1.3 - There shall be silently activated alarms and/or audible alarms on board public transit vehicles which are capable of activation by the operator, monitored by central dispatch or local police.
2.4.2 - PTS shall include a Security Sensors (SS) function.
2.4.2.3 - SS shall include threat sensors such as chemical agent, toxic industrial chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological sensors on board transit vehicles (bus, rail car) and at key locations, including transit stations, and transit facilities (i.e., transit yards and shops), to monitor activities, incidents, and potential threats. These systems shall be monitored by central dispatch.
2.4.2.4 - SS shall include systems on board the public transit vehicle (bus, rail car) for video, audio (including covert microphones that can be triggered by the transit vehicle operator), and event recorder (i.e., "black box") outputs to monitor activities, incidents, and potential threats. 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.
2.4.4 - PTS shall include a Security Management and Control (SMC) function.
2.4.4.1 - SMC shall provide the capability to receive alarm information through electronic communication systems.
