Overview

Monitor assets, passenger flow, queues, trespass, vulnerable people and even anti-social behaviour through an AI driven combination of CCTV and IoT analytics.

The challenge

Despite most stations having full CCTV coverage, there is very little proactive monitoring of this CCTV, with it primarily used for evidence only. Add to that systems are generally disconnected, there is little visibility of passenger flow, trespass and crowding – especially in stations with few or no staff.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. SIYTE works with existing infrastructure and integrates with station systems such as Telent's MICA, so alerts arrive in the tools your control room already uses.

No. SIYTE will work with the infrastructure you already have. If you have smart cameras, we will use these capabilities. If you do not, we can deploy hardware to process these camera feeds and make them smart.
