Emerging Technologies

Today’s new threats force Public Operators to acquire new effective technologies that are more and more sophisticated

–Video analytics, CCTV, real-time passenger information systems, detection systems, etc…

The arrival of such new technologies multiplies the interfaces that operators must manage @ CC

This increased interface complexity may become incompatible with the efficient management of emergencies

Emergency Response @ OCC

What do we ask our operators in an emergency situation?

Analyze a lot of data coming from multiple systems

Execute an emergency response plan that they don’t practice often

–Perform multiple tasks simultaneously–Make good decisions–Communicate effectively

Under stress, very quickly and without making any mistakes

Advanced Incident Management

Tasks Stop all trains

Locate the smoke bomb

Call police, fire department, emergency services…

Determine the proper ventilation scenario

Activate 25 fans in different modes of operation according to the scenario

Evacuate the affected area

PA announcement

Evacuate retailers and workers located in the area

Etc…

Within 2 minutes

Summary

Security and Passenger Comfort are Becoming a Strategic Tool for Operators to: Improve Passenger Service Augment Brand Loyalty to Compete and Maintain/Increase Revenue Increase Operation Efficiencies

Integrated Interdependent Control, Information and Security (CIS) Systems Play a Vital Role in the Implementation of this Strategy:

Effective Incident Management via Quality & Faster Response Time @ Lower Cost More and Improved Services
