Functional Areas

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).
• 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 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 exchange surveillance data with other emergency centers.
• The center shall identify potential security threats based on collected security surveillance data.
• The center shall verify potential security threats by correlating security surveillance data from multiple sources.
• 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.
• The center shall respond to control data from center personnel regarding security surveillance data collection, processing, threat detection, and image matching.

Transit Center Fixed-Route Operations

• The center shall be able to generate special routes and schedules to support an incident, disaster, evacuation, or other emergency.
• The center shall dispatch rail cars.
• The center shall disseminate up-to-date schedules and route information to other centers for rail services.

Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination

• The center shall coordinate schedules and services between transit agencies, traffic management, maintenance and construction operations, parking management, and other surface or air transportation modes.
• The center shall share transfer cluster and transfer point information with multimodal transportation service providers, other transit agencies, and traveler information service providers. A transfer cluster is a collection of stop points, stations, or terminals where transfers can be made conveniently.

Transit Center Security

• The center shall receive reports of emergencies on-board transit vehicles entered directly be the transit vehicle operator or from a traveler through interfaces such as panic buttons or alarm switches.
• The center shall exchange transit incident information along with other service data with other transit agencies.
• The center shall receive information pertaining to a wide-area alert such as weather alerts, disaster situations, or child abductions. This information may come from Emergency Management or from other Alerting and Advisory Systems.
• The center shall send wide-area alert information to travelers (on-board transit vehicles or at stations/stops) and transit vehicle operators.
• The center shall coordinate the response to security incidents involving transit with other agencies including Emergency Management, other transit agencies, media, traffic management, and traveler information service providers.
