Known as San Diego's "moving landmark", the Trolley serves millions of passengers each year as it travels to the International Border; Centre City; California's birthplace, Old Town; as well as Mission Valley, Fashion Valley, and Qualcomm Stadium at Jack Murphy Field. The sheer volume of passengers and the heightened security state of today’s world require an enhanced security offering which can blend into an existing surveillance infrastructure, as well as increase the effectiveness of the security response.
“We are proud to be partnered with Cernium and the San Diego Trolley Corporation on this project,” said David Reed, VP of Business Development for Electro Specialty Systems. “Railway lines are subject to high levels of crime, constantly changing threats and vulnerability and by deploying best-of breed technologies such as Cernium’s Perceptrak, the San Diego Trolley Corporation is proactively providing a safer environment for trolley passengers.”
Perceptrak’s video analytics system utilizes a master control station where each security camera can be set to look for a unique alert condition. A camera can ‘watch’ for a single behavior, such as a vehicle in a pedestrian zone, or any combination of behaviors. Perceptrak technology then analyzes the video to identify, record and alert on behaviors as soon as they occur.
“A rail system can be challenging to monitor because it is spread out over a large geographical area. Perceptrak provides the technical tools to enhance a human security force and allows them to do their job more effectively and serve their customers better,” said Bruce Whitaker, Cernium’s Western regional director. “San Diego Trolley has the unique challenge of protecting an urban track that also serves areas close to the US border. Advanced video analytics are perfectly suited to assist in both of these environments. With Perceptrak, the Trolley and all of its passengers are riding safer.”
