Public transport security involves protecting the lives of the public and key infrastructure. In addition it aims to daunt assaults on passengers and staff, and address the frustrations of vandalism. Transport companies work closely with Police in providing video evidence for a range of incidents. Mobile solutions are becoming a vital element of transportation security for buses and rail. Overt cameras and live monitor displays act as a deterrent and create a level of reassurance for passengers. Wireless capabilities mean video can automatically be downloaded from the depot. Compounds must also be secured, and perimeter security, access control, and intruder alarms are important here. |
