The inconspicuous companion.Comprehensive mobile video surveillance system introduced to further improve passenger safety.

Organization:Stadtwerke München (SWM)/Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG)

Location:Munich, Germany

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Safety and security

Axis partner:Indanet AG

MissionMVG provides one of the most modern transport systems in the world. More than 500 million passengers travel every year via bus, tram and six subway lines over a net-work of 95 kilometers with 100 stations and nearly 580 subway cars in Munich alone. Early in 2008, a call for bids was made to equip the subway trains and streetcars with a video surveillance system. “In this case we had a special requirement that the solution had to run entirely via ethernet and therefore be integrated into the existing ethernet of the train units,” explains Kurt Stern, Head of Traffic Telematics for Stadtwerke München GmbH/MVG.

SolutionThe Munich-based company Indanet won the bid and was commissioned to equip 358 subway cars and 88 streetcars with a digital video surveillance system. Jurgen Fuchs, Indanet’s general manager responsible for business development, describes the selection criteria for the cameras as follows: “We wanted a compact, rugged IP camera with railway approval for our customers that

was easy to install and configure. Of course, it also had to support high-quality video which can be entered as evi-dence in court to identify offenders.”

Axis has a special camera in its portfolio for this purpose: AXIS M3113-R. The palm-sized network camera is noted for its robustness and delivers high quality digital video images in spite of the rocking and shaking and the high humidity in mass transportation vehicles.

ResultMVG is pleased with the result. “An example of a successful manhunt was the investigation into property damage caused by graffiti on December 5, 2010 in street-car 17. The perpetrator and the act were recorded on camera. The images were published in the internal inves-tigation records of the Munich police, which finally led to a policeman’s recognizing the perpetrator just days later,” says Harald Pickert, head of the Crime Division, Police Headquarters, Munich.

“ The Munich police welcome SWM/MVG’s gradual expansion of video surveillance in the Munich subway trains, buses and trams. In addition to the preventative aspect, i.e., the curbing of crime, video surveillance also makes an indispensable contribution to the criminal investigation and identification of perpetrators. The better the images, the more chances we have for successful search and identification operations.”

Harald Pickert, head of the Crime Division, Police Headquarters, Munich.

The opening of the first section of the Munich subway in 1971 and its subsequent expansion to include the Olym-pic Stadium for the 1972 Olympic Games marked the ad-vent of so-called industrial television. At that time, only stationary cameras were installed in the underground stations, primarily to serve operational needs.

By 1980, however, the subway network had grown so much that a central control center for scheduling pur-poses and station monitoring was put into operation at Marienplatz. To document incidents, each of the five monitoring sites in the subway control center was equipped with a video recorder, which could be started by pressing a button. In February 2004, the subway control center moved from Marienplatz to a new loca-tion and was also expanded to become the MVG opera-tions center. The move was also a challenge for the video system. The traffic telematics infrastructure pro-cess network had been erected throughout the entire subway system with over 100 network nodes (switches) and more than 5,000 connections (ports).

Mobile video systems introducedThe deployment of video surveillance systems on buses and trains is now a standard measure for increasing se-curity and reducing vandalism. In Munich, 162 buses are currently equipped with cameras. At the beginning of 2008 a call for bids was made to equip the subway trains and streetcars with a video surveillance system. The Munich-based company Indanet won the bid and was commissioned to equip 358 subway cars and 88 streetcars with a digital video surveillance system.

Jurgen Fuchs, Indanet’s general manager, says: “The camera needed to deliver 2 independent data streams: an MPEG-4-compressed stream recorded by our net-work recorder and stored, as well as an MJPEG stream for live transmission from the vehicle to the control center via a data transmission system.”

For all occasionsAxis has a special camera in its portfolio for this major contract: AXIS M3113-R. With this camera, a system can be set up which in extraordinary cases allows the employees of an alarm center to monitor the events in the vehicle. For example, if a vandal sprays the camera with graffiti, shaving foam or something similar, thus covering the camera’s lens so that the camera can’t take any more pictures, the AXIS M3113-R triggers an alarm.

“It is the first network camera on the market which in-corporates the specific environmental and monitoring requirements for modes of transport,” says Edwin Roobol, Regional Director Middle Europe for Axis.

Central Station and City Terminal – security and safety.With Axis network cameras, Jernhusen is able to keep a watchful eye over one of Sweden’s most visited properties.

Organization:Stockholm Central Stationand City Terminal

Location:Stockholm, Sweden

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Safety and security, loss prevention, operations/ merchandising

Axis partners:Insupport, EET Nordics, Milestone

MissionJernhusen is a state-owned property company that owns and manages around a hundred properties along the Swedish railways. The biggest and by far the most visited properties are Central Station and City Terminal in Stockholm. In 2009, Jernhusen started the ‘Safe Station’ project, a combined initiative involving technology, surveillance and social activities. One component was to review camera surveillance. Jernhusen realized that the camera installation in the properties needed to be modernized to produce better image quality and more efficient surveillance. A decision was made to invest in IP-based cameras and a thorough procurement process was implemented.

SolutionThe contract at City Terminal was awarded to Axis part-ner, Insupport. So far, 33 cameras have been installed in City Terminal and Central Station; 15 AXIS Q6034, ten AXIS P3364 and eight AXIS P8514 Network Cameras, together with six AXIS P7210 Video Encoders for the existing analog cameras. The software that handles viewing/recording is Milestone XProtect® Corporate 5.0.

ResultThe most important benefit of the new IP camera sys-tem is that Jernhusen now has a user-friendly, flexible system with better image quality and higher efficiency.

Using the high-resolution camera images, it has been possible to help the police solve more crimes in a more efficient manner. The new system can easily be extend-ed in terms of both cameras and functions as it is based on open technical platforms.

Markus Sedenberg, Safety Manager at Central Station and City Terminal has the following comments on the new IP camera system: “As I am trained in analog sys-tems, I was a little worried, but my reservations soon disappeared. All of the operators are extremely satis-fied. There is no difficulty and the system is easy to use.”

“ As I am trained in analog systems, I was a little worried, but my reservations soon disappeared. All of the operators are extremely satisfied. There is no difficulty and the system is easy to use.”

Markus Sedenberg, Safety Manager at Central Station and City Terminal.

250,000 reasons for a secure environmentOn a normal working day, 250,000 people pass through Central Station in Stockholm. It is served by intercity trains, regional trains, local trains, the Arlanda Express, freight trains and many bus routes. A pedestrian tunnel leads to the hub of the underground railway, T-centralen.

Jernhusen is responsible both for everyone who passes through the stations and for the many tenants. If the environment does not feel safe and pleasant, people will not stay longer than necessary, and Jernhusen has had to work hard and with determination to enhance security and safety.

Image quality that stands up in courtAxis cameras play an important role here. The high-resolution, mobile cameras allow the operators to have a constant overview of the premises and examine sus-pected incidents. This means, for example, that the gangs of pickpockets, who are rife in Stockholm, prefer to avoid Central Station.

“We can also see that more and more people are choos-ing to come here to shop or eat even if they are not passengers. This is proof that we have made great advances,” says Markus Sedenberg.

Cameras that can countHowever, it is by no means time to rest on laurels. The vision is for more people to decide to use public trans-port. The target is to double the number of passengers on public transport in the Stockholm region by 2020. This means that roughly half a million people will pass through the hubs in central Stockholm every day. Therefore, Jern-husen is now installing a system that is able to measure the number of visitors and analyse the flows in the prop-erties. This system is also based on Axis cameras.

Security means better shopsJernhusen estimates that a commuter spends between 30 to 60 seconds in the buildings, while intercity train passengers stay 25-30 minutes. This explains the mix of shops in the properties, from shoe repairs to restaurants offering full meals.

Every 24 hours, 100 incidents are reported at Central Station and City Terminal. These range from illness and pickpocketing to public disorder offenses. As Jernhusen is the landlord for a wide range of shops, cafés and restau-rants, it bears a heavy responsibility for ensuring that the properties feel secure and pleasant for people to spend time in. If people do not stop and only pass through the station as quickly as possible, the shops will disappear.

Stepping up security on the buses of Madrid.Thousands of buses made safer with network video on board.

Imagine that you are responsible for the overall security on the public buses in a major city. You have thousands of buses in your fleet, operating day and night. The society’s crime trends are against you, showing increasing numbers each year, and your budget makes it impossible to have security guards on board. Still, your main goal is to create a safe working environment for the drivers and an attractive transportation option for the city’s commuters, citizens and tourists. What would you do, and where would you start?

This was the situation for Iñigo Rodríguez-Rovira Rodrí-guez when he accepted the position as Security Man-ager of La Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Madrid (EMT), the company which owns and operates the local buses in Spain’s capital Madrid. Since then, EMT and the local authorities have had several discussions about the need to improve the security on board. “Only a year ago, we had no active surveillance system on our buses, and they were sometimes exposed to graffiti or pickpockets. In case of an incident, it was very difficult to identify a troublemaker unless he or she was caught in the act, which did not happen very often,” says Rodríguez. Extensive evaluation and pilot projectsIt soon became clear that an onboard surveillance solu-tion would help EMT to reach their goals. “We evaluated various ways to efficiently monitor and track the inci-dents on our buses,” explains Rodríguez. “In addition, we looked for a system that would allow us to quickly decide on appropriate actions following an incident. Based on our own conclusions, and the experiences from other similar projects, we decided to go for video surveillance.”

When EMT announced their plans, they received 13 different proposals for onboard surveillance systems. Rodríguez remembers that he and his colleagues reviewed more than 13,000 pages of material in the evaluation process, which eventually guided them to the final solution.

Selection criteria favored an IP-based solution“During a period of 6 months, we installed and evalu-ated 10 surveillance systems on 10 different buses. One of the criteria was the capability to provide reliable access to live video from the buses,” says Rodríguez. “It should also be possible to integrate the surveillance system with other systems on board and to easily expand it to meet future requirements.”

The evaluation favored a network-based surveillance solution and EMT decided to install cameras from Axis Communications that are especially designed for use on buses and trains. These cameras can handle the tough environment on board, including vibrations, temperature fluctuations and moisture. “We were very impressed by the capabilities of the Axis cameras. They provided the best image quality and the H.264 com-pression made it possible to efficiently transfer and store the video,” says Rodríguez.

The cameras from Axis offer a discreet surveillance so-lution on the buses of Madrid.

More than 4,500 cameras successfully installedTo date, about 1,200 of Madrid’s buses have been equipped with Axis network cameras. “We install cameras in three buses per depot every day and there are a total of more than 4,500 cameras in place,” says Rodríguez. The video from the cameras is recorded lo-cally on board and transferred wirelessly to a central storage when the buses are in depot overnight. We are very happy with the solution as we haven’t had a single issue with the cameras so far, despite the high number of units in use.”

Access to live video helps to take appropriate actionsThe video from the buses can also be viewed in real-time from an alarm center in Madrid, operated by the security company Segur Control. Jose Ignacio González López, Manager of the alarm central, says that this capability is of great benefit. “In case of an incident, the driver gets our attention by pressing a button. We can then look at live video from the bus and easily make a correct evaluation of the situation. Depending on what we see, we decide what action to take, and whether to involve the police, emergency services or EMT. Each bus is also equipped with GPS and can be followed by our operators directly on a map, enabling us to give the exact position of any bus at all times.”

Alarm center operators easily access live video from any of Madrid’s buses. Thanks to the integrated GPS system, they also get the exact location of the bus.

An effective way to fight vandalism and crimeThe new surveillance system on Madrid’s buses has not only helped to reduce the costs for incident responses. It has also given EMT an efficient tool to prevent crime and to investigate various incidents on board.

“Only one of our drivers has been robbed since the first cameras were installed about half a year ago. And in other incidents, the new system has helped to identify faces of the people involved,” says security manager Rodríguez. He estimates the yearly costs for vandalism and graffiti at about € 600,000, a cost that he hopes will decrease moving forward. At the same time, he is looking forward to analyzing the passenger statistics. “By keeping our buses safe and secure, we will also attract more passengers,” he concludes.

With Axis, Socicam improves operation of the Brasilia bus station.Achieving greater management control and monitoring of the more than 5,000 passengers moving through the federal capital’s station.

Organization:Socicam

Location:Sao Paulo, Brazil

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Passenger safety, remote monitoring

Axis partners:Explora Tecnologia, CNT Brazil, NUUO Software

MissionApproximately 5,000 people circulate daily through the bus station in Brasilia (FD), which occupies an area of 20,000m2. The management of this complex system of passenger transportation is the role of Socicam, also responsible for managing 43 other intercity bus stations and 74 urban bus terminals in Brazil, in addition to working in Chile and Peru. With its technology platform, Axis brought a solution to monitor the strategic points of revenue generation and passenger movement in the station of the federal capital - such as parking lots, shops, loading, unloading, waiting area and ticket sales - fulfilling the security requirements of the municipal government.

SolutionDesigned in cooperation with Explora Tecnologia, a pro-vider of IT services in Brasilia, the project defined the installation of 27 AXIS P1343 Network Cameras, one AXIS P3343 Network Camera and three AXIS Q6032-E Network Cameras, as well as one AXIS 295 Joystick.

For local monitoring of the images, NUUO surveillance software was used, whereas Explora’s global manage-ment center relied on NUUO’s Central Management System. NUUO’s technology is represented and distrib-uted in the domestic market by Vault.

ResultThe solution adopted has acted to improve the overall operation of the terminal, with increased security for passengers in transit, greater management control by the local management company and the guarantee of availability of the videos in a robust IP system. The im-ages are viewed in real time in Socicam’s Operational Control Center, within the bus station center, and the entire environment is managed in Explora’s NOC (Net-work Operation Center), via an IP SNMP system.

“ We are going to build a new terminal in Belo Horizonte (MG), which should begin operations within two years, and we may possibly expand the project there.”

Antônio Pedro Júnior, manager of corporate technology at Socicam.

Critical operationBy administering different terminals, ports, airports and call centers throughout the country and in two addi-tional countries in South America, Socicam deals with the specific obligations of each point of circulation of passengers, making each surveillance and monitoring project unique. The consequence of such complexity of operation and adaptation to local needs has previously been the inability to standardize the video surveillance environment, which may vary in terms of technology.

In the case of Brasilia, the obligations involved installing a video surveillance system with a sound system, con-trol of the entry and exit of buses and ticket price man-agement, for example.

“From the choice of Axis as a supplier technology for the project, the definition of all 32 points of installation of the cameras and the objectives to be met by the proj-ect was conducted by Socicam, together with Explora,” said the head of the operation.

About Socicam

With its 40 years of operation and 3,900 employees, Socicam accounts

for 600 million users per year. In Sao Paulo, it is responsible for adminis-

tering the Tietê, Barra Funda and Jabalpur Bus Stations and 40 bus ter-

minals. It is present throughout the country, in 13 Brazilian States, as

well as Chile and Peru.

Comfort and safety in new generation trams.Modern low-floor access trams with several sections cannot exist without surveillance cameras.

Organization:Škoda Transportation a.s.

Location:Czech Republic

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Onboard surveillance, remote monitoring

Axis partner:AMiT, spol.s.r.o.

MissionŠkoda Transportation a.s., a leading engineering company with international participation was searching for a suit-able solution for low-floor access trams to manufacture new 15T ForCity trams, models 26T and 28T. A camera surveillance system installed in these low-floor access trams with several sections is necessary in order to allow the driver to monitor the situation inside and outside of the vehicle. The system also serves a security purpose – to allow video recording and analysis of the recording in case of a traffic accident, act of vandalism or other criminal acts.

SolutionAMiT, spol. s r.o. specializes in electronic systems used in railway vehicles and designed a solution which may be paired with all additional technologies such as the tram public announcer system, information system and cam-era systems and which uses a unified ethernet network. Vehicles are fitted with 8 to 20 AXIS 209FD Network Cameras (based on the model, length and modification) – always with several outdoor cameras above each door and inside the vehicle.

Video from cameras, without the need to be stored first, is projected directly to a 15 inch IP display installed above the driver’s head, which replaces rearview mirrors installed in older models.

ResultThe solution supplied by AMiT, which uses Axis network cameras, completely satisfies surveillance demands used in modern low-floor access trams with several sections simply because the driver cannot do without cameras. Cameras also provide the driver with better comfort - the driver can better monitor the situation inside the entire vehicle. The option to record video and remote surveillance elevates the driver and passenger security by one level. The system is easily expandable because it is based on a unified ethernet network. The video feed from cameras complies with high quality requirements even when lighting conditions are not perfect and the system does not suffer from frequent breakdowns as analog systems often do.

14

“ We bring cutting-edge technologies to our customers, which comply with current requirements for security and reliability of public transportation systems. Axis IP camera systems designed by AMiT offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for IP camera video surveillance, and experiences obtained from already working systems have demonstrated that it provides better security and comfort for drivers and passengers.”

Radek Elhota, 15T Project Manager at Škoda Transportation.

Why cameras are necessaryModern trams with several sections must be fitted with camera surveillance systems. For example, when a long vehicle stops in a curve, the driver has no way to control and see whether a person is standing around the door. Cameras installed above vehicle doors help the driver to see movement of passengers on IP displays. Further, these cameras supplement another three electronic sys-tems, which eliminate the risk that the passenger will be caught in the door and pulled by the vehicle. As far as petty criminality is concerned - another risk affecting public transportation - research showed that just the installation of security cameras inside a vehicle acts as a preventive element.

Analog cameras installed in trams are not reliableAmit gained a lot of experience thanks to previous instal-lations of analog cameras. This experience proved that transmission of signals from analog cameras installed in vehicles using tracking poles suffer from many defects due to power in the tram poles. Therefore, in comparison with IP cameras, analog cameras are very unreliable and must be fitted with additional protection elements. “Based on our experience, IP technology is much more reliable,” says Roman Ulrych, Managing Director of AMiT.

Nanning Railway Bureau uses Axis Lightfinder technology.Nanning Railway Bureau upgrades surveillance system with Axis Lightfinder.

Organization:Nanning Railway Public Security Bureau

Location:Nanning, China

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Rail station security, management control systems

Axis partner:Guangxi Xin Min Network Technology Co.

MissionNanning Railway Bureau needs a video surveillance sys-tem to manage security related issues in a variation of dark locations. The Police Department and the Public Security Bureau are required to keep track of time data to be able to gather the latest information in a timely manner. It is therefore necessary for each installed vid-eo to be managed from a central station.

SolutionWhen upgrading the surveillance system, it is possible for Nanning Railway Bureau to monitor the inbound and outbound occurrences in real time as well as dark areas such as inside a bus station. Axis network cameras fulfill the Chinese Railway Bureau needs and were chosen for the project.

AXIS Q1602 Network Camera features the advanced Lightfinder technology that achieves color in low-light conditions. AXIS Q1604 Network Camera is able to show details of trains coming into and leaving the station, regardless of the light situation as it offers exceptionally good video performance in highly variations of light with its Wide Dynamic Range capabilities.

ResultThe upgrade of the surveillance system makes it possible for Nanning Railway Bureau to capture the number of inbound trains entering the station as well as being served with crucial images. Every Police Department is equally capable of accessing images in progress and other video recordings of their area.

16

“ Incredible, this camera (AXIS Q1602) can show clear, colored images in such bad lighting environments! This is the best result I have ever seen so far amongst video cameras!”

Mr. Chen, Nanning Railway Bureau.

Surveillance system to be centrally managedNanning Railway Bureau uses their video surveillance system to eliminate security blind spots at the station. This requires an integration of resources and increased security functions in every passenger transport station, freight station, stockyard, and freight yard’s existing se-curity surveillance system.

Currently, over 72 local police stations have already in-stalled several hundred cameras, distributing the video images over various on-site front-end locations. The Police Department and the Public Security Bureau are required to keep track of time data. Consequently, it is absolutely necessary for each regionally installed video surveillance system to be centrally managed. The net-work center includes functions such as commanding, dispatching, checking, analyzing, deciding, supervision, disposal, naming, and audio.

Main applications of Axis solutionThe main applications of the Axis solution is real-time monitoring of the trips of inbound and outbound custom-ers/cargo vehicles as well as other dark locations.

Because of the exceptional low-light imaging quality and extremely low bandwidth of AXIS Q1602 and AXIS Q1604 the system video imaging has, after the transformation, a good interface with the original simulation system.

The AXIS Q1604 clearly shows details of the trains com-ing into and leaving the station, regardless of the envi-ronmental light situation, due to its extremely good video performance. It effectively records the entry and exit times of vehicle trips, thereby effectively achieving the goal of providing security inside the stations.

AXIS Q1602 advanced Lightfinder technology achieves color during low-light conditions. The main application of this model is in cargo stations, in situations without good lighting, achieving real-time monitoring of poorly lit corners.

Upgrading the surveillance systemAlong with transforming and upgrading Nanning Rail-way Bureau’s video surveillance systems, the bureau, a total of 72 local police stations, 3 police departments, and 1 Public Security Bureau will advance to a complete surveillance system network. All levels will be respon-sible for their division, equally capable of accessing surveillance images in progress and searching video recordings of their area.

AXIS Q1602 Network Camera has outstanding low-light quality, not only does it solves the low-light condition issues (relative to the low-light quality of other brands) of “seeing” critical problems. In addition, it simultane-ously guarantees that the image would still be in color, the first of its kind in the industry. At the same time, by not requiring extra light, in regards to warehouses in cargo stations, stockyards and other places, it both conserves energy and reduces expenses.

After the system construction was completed, not only did it solve the problem of merging the surveillance sys-tem and the original simulated surveillance system, it also achieved the unification of the original system, TV wall, and other functions.

24/7 security with Axis video surveillance solutions.Higher productivity and increased service at Flechabus.

Organization:Flechabus

Location:Buenos Aires, Argentina

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Safety and security

Axis partner:ADSL Sistemas (Netcamara)

MissionFlechabus is a medium and long distance domestic pas-senger transport company with 50 years in the market. Their most important ticket office is located in the Retiro Bus Terminal in Buenos Aires. Due to the large number of people circulating inside it and the increase in crime in the area, they became aware of the need to monitor the premises to prevent theft and to have full control of the company’s facilities within the terminal. For this reason, the video surveillance system to be implemented had to be modern, responsive and flexible, so as to be able to adapt to the client’s requirements.

SolutionAfter several meetings with the client to identify their needs, ADSL Sistemsas decided the best option was to implement Axis IP cameras. The AXIS 206 Network Camera was chosen. 15 units were installed along with the ADSL Sistemas Netcamara 1.5 software. Following the successful implementation, they proceeded to repli-cate this model in different strategic points of the com-pany: Retiro Warehouse, located in the federal capital: 48 AXIS 206 and 4 AXIS 210 Network Cameras.

Barracas Warehouse, located in the federal capital: 14 AXIS 206 Network Cameras installed. Paraná warehouse, located in the province of Entre Rios, where 14 AXIS 206 Network Cameras were installed, and the ticketing office of the province of Tucumán, with 8 AXIS 206 Network Cameras.

ResultThe client is now able to control, monitor and store the images captured by each and every camera located at different sites within its territory. The architecture of the solution has been implemented in a decentralized manner (each site makes its own recordings). Also, the live or recorded images may be accessed from head-quarters, using the remote supervision function.

Currently, the security level in each of the strategic points has increased considerably. In addition, employ-ees have a greater sense of being protected and safe, which is reflected in higher labor productivity and bet-ter passenger service.

“ In the Axis cameras, we find a product with remarkable nobility that has allowed us to achieve our goals. The quality of the images obtained is higher than any other. The level of detail gives us the task of monitoring and control. We are really happy with the results obtained. Also, the support that both Axis and ADSL Sistemas provide to us is excellent.”

Leandro Neuss, Flechabus Systems Analyst.

High performanceThe client achieved the following benefits: remotely monitored areas; real-time view; scalable and manage-able by the multicam user; the ability to view and record multiple cameras simultaneously. Multi-user, user privi-lege management, programming of continuous record-ings and use of broadband as communications support.

Future applicationsIt is planned to continue with the installation of more security cameras in the administrative offices at the in-ternational box office and the VIP room of Retiro.

Korea Railroad builds safer security system by linking Axis network cameras and depot fire detection system.Reinforcing security management and monitoring capabilities, and securing the ability to respond to fires quickly and accurately with full HDTV images.

Organization:Korea Railroad

Location:Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Safety and security

Axis partner:TNX Systems

MissionKorea Railroad is a public corporation in charge of man-aging the national railroad of Korea and related business.

The Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop of the Metropoli-tan Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot is the starting point and final destination of KTX (Korea Train eXpress). It sits on more than 1.3 million m2 and consists of 31 buildings. The KTX rolling stocks, running more than 3,000 km for 17 hours a day and carry thousands of passengers, are maintained day and night.

Network cameras were installed inside and outside the buildings, such as the light maintenance inspection garage and heavy maintenance garage. They were also installed in the wheel repair shop to enable real-time recording, search and playback of recorded images. These cameras are integrated with the fire detection system for fire prevention and provide reinforcement of security so the head office in Seoul can monitor what goes on in the depot.

SolutionTo ensure the safety of the large site of the Goyang Roll-ing Stock Depot, TNX Systems, an Axis partner, proposed and installed full HD-class Axis network cameras. This video management system not only secures high-resolu-tion images, but also directs the cameras to where a fire started since the system is integrated with the fire detec-tion system. This results in prompt assessment of the situation so corrective measures can be taken.

ResultThe Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop uses AXIS Q6035/-E and AXIS M1114 Network Cameras to secure HDTV im-ages, and capitalizes on software that integrates with the fire detection system to check and monitor incidents in real-time so the large rolling stock depot can be safe-ly protected. As a result, it is now possible to manage the access records of visitors to the depot and ensure the safety of employees; and the clearer images of the KTX rolling stocks have reinforced security. In addition, the high-quality images have improved the ability to moni-tor blind spots such as the outside fences and vulnerable areas, enabling rapid response to any situation.

20

“ The full HDTV-class high-resolution images, provided by the Axis network cameras, boosts security in the large lot of the depot, including the buildings, rolling stocks and blind spots. In particular, the interface with the video management software and the automatic fire detection system now make it possible to correctly and quickly respond to a fire in the depot, making for a safer and more effective security system.”

The Security Manager of the Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop.

HDTV-class network cameras improve managerial abilityThe Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop of the Metropoli-tan Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot covers a large area and consists of many buildings. Axis network cam-eras and the IP-based surveillance system ensure the safety of the depot through integration with the fire detection system, and the HDTV high-resolution images make it possible to monitor the facilities on the large site at a higher level. In particular, the elimination of blind spots in and outside of the buildings with a small number of cameras is the greatest benefit of the video surveillance system built with network cameras.

AXIS Q6035/-E PTZ Dome Network Cameras installed in the Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop not only provide excellent images of full HDTV quality and 20x optical zoom, but also have day and night functionality to pro-vide high-quality images in places where there is almost no light.

Also, AXIS M1114 Network Cameras with CS-mount multifocal DC-Iris lens deliver 1 megapixel/HDTV high- resolution streams with 30 fps using progressive scan to provide excellent quality images without any motion blur.

Ensuring safety through integration with the fire detection systemThe automatic fire detection system automatically de-tects heat or smoke in case of fire, indicates where the fire started, and triggers alarms. Axis network cameras and TNX video management software are linked to the automatic fire detection system and display accurately where the fire started on a map and show images taken with the cameras in a pop-up. With the ability to now correctly grasp the situation and respond when a fire breaks out, the loss of lives and property are minimized, and shortcomings of existing firefighting facilities are remedied.

Client/server architecture makes it possible

to access images anytime, anywhereThe Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop used Axis network cameras and TNX’s video management software IMVS to build the client/server-based video surveillance sys-tem that makes it possible to monitor images in real-time and search and play back recorded images not only at the central control room, but also in each office of the inspection garage. IMVS’ perfect performance has been proven.

Using the optical communication network to install stable network camerasOptical fiber was used to build the network infrastructure in the rolling stock depot on a large lot consisting of many buildings. As a result, it was possible to reduce the cost far more than with the existing analog system. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supported so that power and cabling construction is not necessary, thereby reducing installation costs. Since the streaming is based on optical communication (RTSP; Real Time Streaming Protocol), which prevents image loss and noise due to transmission distance, the best image quality was secured.

Safer travel with network cameras from Axis Communications.Axis network cameras make the trip safer and save time for SL’s travelers and drivers.

Organization:SL - Storstockholms Lokaltrafik AB

Location:Stockholm, Sweden

Industry segment:Transportation

Application:Safety and security, vandalism prevention

MissionStorstockholm’s Lokaltrafik AB (SL) transports 700,000 passengers daily, by bus and train, within the Stockholm area. To create a safer environment and a stress-free journey for both travelers and personnel, it is necessary to have complete surveillance of buses, trains, stations, waiting rooms, pathways and train depots. In 2005, SL began the Security Project (Trygghetsprojektet) with the intention of creating a safer travel and work environ-ment, minimizing interruptions in traffic, and lowering the high costs of graffiti and vandalism control, and san-itation. Surveillance cameras are a significant part of the Security Project and, in 2007, installations were begun, using Axis network cameras in buses, on subway trains, and in waiting rooms and train depots.

SolutionSL knew the strict requirements for the installation. The cameras in the driver’s workplace and in the passenger areas must withstand both sabotage and unfavorable en-vironments. Because there was no special camera for the transportation market, Axis was given the assignment, together with SL, to design a whole new camera that would fulfill the specific demands.

The result was AXIS 209FD-R, a small compact camera that can withstand a large amount of abuse. Approxi-mately 10,000 network cameras have been installed in 2,200 buses. There have been about 4,500 fixed cameras, both AXIS 225FD with vandalism protection, as well as AXIS 212 PTZ with fisheye optics, installed in subway and commuter stations, in waiting rooms, pathways, train de-pots and train coaches. All cameras at the stations are connected to SL’s Security Central, where all events are registered and responded to. With almost 14,500 net-work cameras, this installation is the largest in Sweden.

ResultThe Security Project contributes to a safer environment for both personnel and travelers. The surveillance system has a preventative effect because the number of crimes decreases with camera surveillance. Through the 24-hour Security Central, SL can decrease the interruptions in traf-fic. The system also helps the police to secure evidence against any wrongdoers, as digital image technology of-fers a clear identification of objects and people. In the long run, SL can lower costs for graffiti control, sanitation and other maintenance costs, in addition to improving SL’s traffic planning and the security of the traffic.

SL had strict requirements for the network cameras. The cameras that were being installed in the buses, at the drivers’ seats and in the passenger areas needed to be very durable against possible sabotage, and also with-stand moisture, dust and vibrations. At the same time, the cameras could not be too hard or sharp, risking in-jury to passengers during an accident. Axis and SL sat down and designed a whole new type of intelligent cam-era that could withstand abuse.

“We had to try to identify every stress that a camera can be subjected to in a public environment. AXIS 209FD-R is designed to handle the most unfavorable conditions and has built-in intelligence, meaning that the camera itself sends an alarm if something is wrong with it. For example, if there is a person standing in the way of the camera, the alarm will activate. If the camera has been sprayed with paint, the event is registered,” says Kent Fransson, Product Manager at Axis Communications.

Because the AXIS 209FD-R continuously records imag-es, and because the surveillance system is integrated with SL’s traffic system, the camera’s images can be marked with bus stop information and GPS synchronized time.

High image quality and flexibility with Axis network camerasTo make the security even better, SL has chosen to install about 4,500 cameras in the surrounding areas. About 3,500 fixed cameras, specifically AXIS 225FD with an aluminum cover, have been installed in escalators, on station platforms and along tracks. The aluminum cover protects against vandalism, and the camera has such a high image quality that it can fulfill two functions: mon-itoring the status of the train platform, and monitoring the tracks. By the turnstile booth, and at certain corners in the stations, SL has chosen to install about 900 fixed cameras, namely the AXIS 212 PTZ with fisheye optics, that can identify people.

Because all cameras are connected to the already exist-ing IT network, SL did not have to install new cables for electricity and video. New installations in the future will be easier, and it is also cost-effective to use the same cables for both power supply and network video, using Power over Ethernet. Flexibility is also better because cameras can be installed virtually anywhere.

Axis’ market-leading position for network cameras, the flexibility of the system, and Axis’ ability to meet SL’s clear requirements for a durable camera for surveillance of drivers’ seat and passenger areas, were all important reasons for choosing Axis as a cooperating partner.

Intelligent and robust innovationsIn the new surveillance system, Axis contributes to the development of network cameras for

surveillance, identification and guarding of non-authorized entry to train tracks. The digital im-

ages are stored in a mobile video and alarm surveillance system (Mobile Digital Video Storage

System) that has been integrated into SL’s existing traffic and safety system.

“The surveillance system and the Security Project have been positive changes for us. It has given us more re-turn than we had predicted. Among other things, we find that graffiti has decreased. We can also plan traffic better through the ability to act quickly and, if needed, put extra trains into service if the load gets too high, and also in connection with construction and other things. The surveillance system gives us the ability to encourage drivers to be extra careful if there are a lot of people on the platform,” says Stefan Danielsson, Project Manager for SL’s Security Project.

Because of the high image quality, the police can make good use of the image material as evidence. The police can, if needed, request recorded material, and the po-lice image analysis group is working daily to solve crimes with the help of the cameras in the Security Project. Each year, there are between 500-600 images requested from SL, and the police say that, in cases where there is recorded material, they find that almost all of the images are so good that they can be used by the current investigator. Among other things, the po-lice image analysis group has, since their beginning in 2007, solved several robberies, and they have also been able to catch a serial rapist in Söderort, in Stockholm, with the help of a camera on a night bus.

Good surveillance creates a safe journeyAbout 3,000 security-related events occur every month within SL’s traffic area. With the help of the new surveillance system, the operator can go to the right camera to see what event tripped the alarm. An opera-tor with special authority assesses the situation and can request appropriate resources, such as a security guard or the police.

“Because of the high resolution of the network cameras, it is significantly easier to identify people and events. This makes it easy to act quickly. But we are, of course, protecting personal privacy. All image material is han-dled with confidentiality and, in the event of a possible crime, all images are handed over to the police. We do not carry out any investigation ourselves, and our staff has no ability to review recorded material,” says Bengt Carlsson, SL’s Security Manager.

The new surveillance system with Axis network cameras creates a safer environment for both personnel and trav-elers. Another aspect is that SL can lower the costs of traffic interruptions, graffiti and vandalism control, and sanitation.

“ We had the privilege to be involved very early in the Security Project, and because of this, we have been able to develop specific cameras and features as needed. It is a big advantage that we, as a product supplier, can can be an active part in problem-solving with quick turnaround. It is also incredibly enjoyable and instructive for us to work in such a close relationship with the end user.” Magnus Zederfeldt, Area Sales Manager Nordics and Baltics, Axis Communications.
