Trespass warning system
Panasonic has teamed up with Alan Dick Communications to provide a trespass warning system for the railway network.
Trespass incidents on the railway network cost millions of pounds every year. Combining the industry expertise of AD Comms and the latest technology from Panasonic, the new automated system will help to prevent trespass incidents at known hot spots. Using Panasonic’s vandal proof dome camera technology in combination with a thermal camera, AD Comms predicts that they can drastically reduce the number of false alerts that such systems can produce.
The new system uses fixed visual cameras as well as thermal cameras in combination with VISuite’s virtual zone intrusion detection and loitering recognition, to create an accurate picture of an individual’s behaviour. Station platforms are zoned, so that anyone entering several virtual zones triggers a Pan Tilt and Zoom camera which tracks subsequent movements. It will also provide an automated audible warning to those meeting behaviour patterns associated with trespassing. In addition, alerts are raised so that station staff can take appropriate action.
