Functional Areas

Center Secure Area Alarm Support

• After the alarm message becomes a verified incident, the center shall determine the appropriate response.
• After the alarm message has been received, the center shall generate an alarm acknowledgment to the sender.
• The center shall collect silent and audible alarms received from transit vehicles, originated by the traveler or the transit vehicle operator.
• 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 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 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 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 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
• 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 monitor maintenance status of the security sensor field equipment.
• 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 i
• 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.

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.
