Video Analytics Solutions - for Safer Transportation

Nowadays, with every step we take being threatened by theft, vandalism and terrorism, security becomes a very important aspect for safe transportation. In all fields of transportation including bus, rail or airline, the authorities concerned should ensure that the safety of the customers and their own safety are catered to. Video analytics solutions thus play a very crucial role in providing appropriate security measures.

Intelligent video feature in video analytics:
The security video system used in the past had very limited features available in them. In order to ensure proper recording of the video, manual supervising was needed. The monitoring of the security feeds had to be done continuously as the security camera will be useless, if there is no one to record an event detected on the surveillance monitor.

All these drawbacks have been rectified with the introduction of new video analytics software or the intelligent video. The users are endowed with more powerful features in their security cameras. The features in the intelligent video include remote access which aids in round the clock security access from any system connected to the Internet. The system involved has multiple levels of security set up and is very potent in providing internal security. This set up prevents the unauthorized access of the surveillance mechanism.

The name intelligent was coined for the software as it analyzes the video in real time. It is capable of differentiating the various parts of an image. It can also differentiate the background from the people in an image, identify objects, detect any changes in motion and also recognize faces. These results are analyzed and used in a number of ways to ensure high level security in transportation.

Video analytics solutions in transportation:
In the case of buses and rail transport, the security mechanisms should be placed at both the stations and also in the vehicles to record details while on the move. The video analytics software is equipped to work in any surrounding, a mobile or a static one. The analyzing equipments work round the clock and can be used for a wide range of situations.

Alarms and automatic notifications are two areas where the video analytic solutions are commonly used. If any unauthorized intrusion takes place in restricted areas, bus or rail terminals, the software will detect the intrusion and trigger alarms present on the area and also through email and other notifications to the concerned authorities so that they can take the appropriate measures.

The unattended luggage at airports, bus terminals and also train stations are a source of big concern. The video analytics software is programmed to identify objects which are static for a long time and activate alarms and also send notifications to the appropriate personnel. In the presence of the required hardware, activation of software can induce the turning on or off of lights, opening or closing of doors and many other related movements.

Advantages of video analytics security solutions:
Utilization of intelligent video or video analytics has tremendous effect on the security set up in transportation field. The correct software can do a lot in increasing the security measures and preventing crimes in areas like airports, rail or bus stations. This will improve the security and win the customers' approval.

Also, along with the security of transportation, the video analytics software can analyze density paths, traffic flow patterns and many other important features. This will help in regulating traffic during peak hours and also regulate the usual traffic flow efficiently.
