Tianjin metro fitted with NiceVision IP video analytics

The NiceVision system will monitor security at 23 stations along the metro’s Line 2 route.

It is the latest deployment of Nice technology for rail systems in China.

Line 2, which is a mostly underground rapid transit line, runs from 23.5 km from west to east of the China’s second city.

The system has been designed to deliver real-time alerts directly to the metro’s security personnel on incidents such as unauthorised entry. It is hoped that this will enable staff to detect and verify incidents early.

A spokesman for Nice said: “This resulting increase in situational awareness will help to mitigate risks, enhance passenger safety and better protect metro assets. The solution will also enable the metro’s security personnel to keep track of the number of people at multiple entries and exits. This trend analysis capability provides business insight that can be used to enhance commuter service levels.”

Rise in demand for advanced video surveillance

Raghav Sahgal, president of Nice for Asia Pacific, said:”This is another project which shows the positive momentum our security solutions for mass transit are enjoying in the Chinese market. Nearly two dozen major cities have received approval from the Minister of Railways in China in late 2009, to build 89 metro lines by 2016.

“Tianjin is among these cities. Accordingly, we are seeing a rise in demand in China for advanced video surveillance that can effectively protect passengers. Our non-intrusive IP-based video surveillance address these needs, enabling comprehensive coverage without disturbing operational integrity – a key consideration for transit environments. We are happy to have been chosen for this project and to be taking a leading role in the country’s expansive mass transit system.”
