Transportation Security

Transportation Security– transportation services face significant threats on a daily basis, from domestic terrorism, to assaults on passengers and operators, to property crimes. Professionally installed video surveillance systems from I E M can help transportation companies actively monitor all areas of their operations for potential threats like abandoned objects, escalating tensions between people, or suspicious activity.

I E M can install a video security system anywhere within your transportation infrastructure, including:

• Entrances and Perimeters
• Payment and Ticketing Stations
• Parking Lots
• Stations, Platforms and Terminals
• Loading Docks
• Cargo Staging and Storage Areas
• Garages, Depots, and Yards
• In Vehicles to Monitor Drivers, Passengers, and Cargo
• Administrative Offices

Passenger and Operator Safety– Maintaining a secure transit environment means protecting passengers and vehicle operators from all potential threats. Video surveillance systems promote safety by acting as a deterrent to criminal behavior. They also enable your security teams to identify emerging threats, and act before they escalate to become dangerous incidents.

Protect Property– Loss of valuable assets and cargo due to theft and internal shrink is a significant problem in the transportation industry. Vehicles, passenger loading and unloading sites, and storage facilities are all susceptible to robbery and theft. Having video surveillance cameras in place can serve as a significant deterrent against these types of events.

Deter Vandalism– Vandalism can be costly to remediate, negatively impact ridership and interfere with day-to-day operations. Video surveillance systems from I E M provide a visual presence to help deter vandals, and reduce incidences of trespassing and loitering. When vandalism does occur, multi megapixel security cameras will catch the perpetrators in the act, and provide court admissible video evidence with the necessary forensic detail to identify faces. We offer vandalproof dome cameras and enclosures with IK10 impact resistance, that are capable of withstanding physical damage should criminals try to disable them.

Rapid Response– I E M provides surveillance systems that empower your transportation security teams to respond to incidents in real time. With 24/7 remote monitoring capabilities, security officials can identify risks and respond to situations immediately.

Capture Vital Evidence– Whether you need to provide evidence of a crime to law enforcement authorities or to prove a claim during litigation, you can easily search and access the video and audio data from your security system. Our central management software includes features like smart search, customizable screen views, date and time calendar search, video tagging, instant replay and more to help you access the specific footage you need, quickly.

Operational Consistency– Achieving consistency in your transportation business processes is key to providing on-time service, maintaining ridership, and ensuring regulatory compliance. With a professionally designed and installed security camera system, you will have the capability to monitor activity 24/7 in transit vehicles and public areas, to identify potential issues and determine the appropriate course of action to improve process and maintain consistency.

Monitor Employee Performance– Professional video security systems can also help evaluate employee performance. These systems enable transportation providers to track workers’ movements and activities, monitor productivity, and evaluate performance related to customer service. This information can help inform management’s decision making processes to optimally adjust staffing levels and workflows, and conduct performance evaluations.

Measure Advertising Effectiveness– Advertising is a key source of revenue for many transportation companies. Video surveillance can help to measure audience engagement with vehicle signage and display advertising. I E M provides video security cameras and recorders with video analytics, including region entrance/exit, object counting, heat mapping and more, which can help transportation providers gather data to help gauge advertising performance.

Reduce Liability– Should an incident occur that involves a passenger or operator injury, multi megapixel video surveillance footage can provide key evidence to determine exactly what happened. This can help to defend against frivolous slip and fall lawsuits and false claims in injury cases. For this reason, many insurance companies provide discounted premiums for transit organizations that have video surveillance technology in place.

Secure Data Storage– Our video security systems feature purpose built security recorders with advanced surveillance-class hard drives. Internal storage up to 192 TB enables you to store and protect months’ worth of video security data.

I E M offers video security systems that are engineered with the latest processors, image chipsets and infrared technology, to deliver uncompromising performance and a best-in-class customer experience to our transit clients.
