Field Secure Area Surveillance Equipment Package

Architecture Geographic Scope

Description:

Security surveillance devices (audio/video) that monitor facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, and transit railways or guideways).

 

Included in:

TxDOT Yoakum District Security Equipment

Functional Requirements:

1The 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).
2The field element shall be remotely controlled by a center.
3The field element shall provide equipment status and fault indication of surveillance equipment to a center.
4The field element shall provide raw video or audio data.
5The field element shall remotely process video and audio data and provide an indication of potential incidents or threats to a center.
  

User Service Requirements (fully or partially addressed):

2.0PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
2.4PUBLIC TRAVEL SECURITY
2.4.1PTS shall include specific Secure Areas.
2.4.1.1(g)Transit facilities (e.g. transit yards and shops).
2.4.1.1(h)Transit infrastructure (rail tracks, tunnels, bridges, bus guideways, etc.).
2.4.2PTS shall include a Security Sensors (SS) function.
2.4.2.2SS shall include video and audio systems at key locations, including rest areas, transit stops and stations, and transit facilities (i.e., transit yards and shops), to monitor activities, incidents, and potential threats. These systems and sensors shall be monitored by central dispatch.
2.4.2.7SS shall include video, audio, intrusion (or motion) detection, and infrastructure integrity monitoring of transit infrastructure (rail track, bridges, tunnels, bus guideways, etc.).
5.0EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
5.1EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION AND PERSONAL SECURITY
5.1.3ENPS shall include a Remote Security and Emergency Monitoring (RSEM) function to create an environment of safety in secure areas.
5.1.3.1RSEM shall include specific Secure Areas.
5.1.3.1.1The Secure Areas shall encompass physical areas related to travel including but not limited to the following: critical infrastructure (such as bridges, tunnels, interchanges, management centers, etc.), rest stops and picnic areas, park-and-ride areas, tourism and travel information areas and emergency pull off areas.
5.1.3.2RSEM shall include a Surveillance and Sensors (SS) function.
5.1.3.2.1SS 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.
5.1.3.2.1.1SS shall include both video and audio surveillance systems at key locations in the Secure Area to monitor activities.
5.1.3.2.1.3SS 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.
