ISS (Intelligent Security Systems), a pioneering provider of video intelligence and data awareness solutions, announced that it has been selected to take part in the large-scale pilot phase of the Transit Tech Lab (TTL), a public-private partnership created by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the Partnership Fund for New York City to accelerate innovation in public transportation.
Last year, ISS, along with 17 other companies, were chosen as finalists from 150 global applicants to take part in an eight-week proof-of-concept (PoC) for TTL to demonstrate how the respective technologies enhance public transportation systems and services.
Vehicle security checkpoint process
ISS demonstrated how automated under-inspection capabilities could streamline the current vehicle security
During the PoC, ISS collaborated with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to showcase the capabilities of the under-vehicle inspection solution, the SecurOS® UVSS (Under Vehicle Surveillance System). Leveraging the UVSS, ISS demonstrated how automated under-inspection capabilities could streamline the current vehicle security checkpoint process at the World Trade Centre.
The UVSS was used to scan the undercarriages of over 2,000 vehicles for prohibited items and anomalies, while simultaneously collecting real-time data regarding vehicle flows, types, and checkpoint passage times.
ISS groundbreaking solutions
"As a company committed to innovation and excellence, we are honoured to expand our involvement with the Transit Tech Lab and showcase how ISS' groundbreaking solutions can improve transportation, security, and efficiency," said Aluisio Figueiredo, CEO of ISS.
"This opportunity allows us to demonstrate the scalability of our technology and its ability to seamlessly integrate within critical transit systems to address emerging challenges."
About the UVSS
The UVSS is a compact and versatile under-vehicle surveillance system designed to detect explosives, illegal contraband, and various other anomalies.
Capturing high-quality images in as little as three seconds, it supports vehicle speeds of up to 22 mph and integrates seamlessly with licence plate recognition (LPR) and access control systems to ensure security at critical facilities worldwide. Its applications extend beyond security, offering additional value in logistics, loss control, and service lane record-keeping environments.
Key features include:
- Patented image dewarping technology for accurate visual analysis.
- Advanced integration with our industry-pioneering licence plate recognition (LPR) software (SecurOS® Auto) and third-party systems.
- Ease of deployment with no heavy construction requirements.
