Functional Areas

Center Secure Area Sensor Management

• The center shall disseminate threat information to other agencies, including traffic, transit, maintenance, rail operations, and other emergency management centers.
• The center shall exchange security sensor data with other emergency centers.
• The center shall exchange threat analysis data with Alerting and Advisory Systems and use that data in local threat analysis processing.
• The center shall identify potential security threats based on collected security sensor data.
• The center shall monitor maintenance status of the security sensor field equipment.
• The center shall perform threat analysis based on correlations of security sensor and surveillance data.
• The center shall remotely monitor and control security sensor 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
• The center shall request activation of barriers and safeguards on request from center personnel.
• The center shall respond to control data from center personnel regarding security sensor data collection, processing, threat detection, and threat analysis.
• The center shall verify potential security threats by correlating security sensor data from multiple sources.

Center Secure Area Surveillance

• The center shall exchange surveillance data with other emergency centers.
• The center shall exchange traveler images with other emergency management centers to support traveler image matching.
• The center shall identify potential security threats based on collected security surveillance data.
• The center shall match traveler video images against a database from the Alerting and Advisory Systems of known images that may represent criminals and terrorists.
• The center shall monitor maintenance status of the security sensor field equipment.
• The center shall remotely control security surveillance devices 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 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 rail
• 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-o
• 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 respond to control data from center personnel regarding security surveillance data collection, processing, threat detection, and image matching.
• The center shall verify potential security threats by correlating security surveillance data from multiple sources.

Emergency Call-Taking

• The center shall coordinate, correlate, and verify all emergency inputs, including those identified based on external calls and internal analysis of security sensor and surveillance data, and assign each a level of confidence.
• The center shall forward the verified emergency information to the responding agency based on the location and nature of the emergency.
• The center shall provide the capability for digitized map data to act as the background to the emergency information presented to the emergency system operator.
• The center shall receive emergency notification information from other public safety agencies and present the possible incident information to the emergency system operator.
• The center shall update the incident information log once the emergency system operator has verified the incident.

Field Secure Area Sensor Monitoring

• The field element shall be remotely controlled by a center.
• The field element shall include infrastructure condition and integrity monitoring sensors.
• The field element shall include motion and intrusion detection sensors.
• The field element shall include security sensors that monitor conditions of secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guid
• The field element shall provide equipment status and fault indication of security sensor equipment to a center.
• The field element shall provide raw security sensor data.
• The field element shall remotely process security sensor data and provide an indication of potential incidents or threats to a center.

Field Secure Area Surveillance

• The field element shall be remotely controlled by a center.
• The field element shall include video and/or audio surveillance of secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guideways).
• 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.
