IDOL for Transportation Security
Close transportation security gaps.
Key Capabilities:■ Real world video analytics:
Rely on battle-hardened analytics used bynumerous military and intelligence agencies;
intelligent scene analysis, automatic number plate
recognition and classification, facial recognition,
and audio analytics that work in the real world; andalgorithms that automatically take care of issues
such as illumination changes, foliage growth,complex scenes, and more.

■ Sharpen your focus on what matters:
While no real event should be missed, ourtechnology can help prioritize attention and reduce
the risk of missing high-impact incidents with aneasy-to-use and extremely flexible configuration
tool to enable operators to define what they arelooking for, and a self-learning algorithm to reduce
false alerts over time.

■ Federated architecture:
Monitor and operate CCTV cameras and alarms at
both local unit levels and at a centralized command
center across multiple facilities.

■ Holistic situational awareness:
Automatic setup and alerting to events provide theability to combine both structured and unstructured
information for a complete picture.

The Gap Between Data and Action
Transportation facilities such as airports are
faced with myriad threats, both existing andemerging, that can lead to catastrophic consequences. To combat these pressures, video
surveillance cameras spread across airports,
train stations, or bus terminals are continuously
feeding massive numbers of images to a command and control center that is typically monitored by human operators. But the deluge ofdata coming in from video surveillance cameras
can easily overwhelm security operators using
manual processes, which only exposes you toincreased risks of oversight and false alarms.
More and more, safety officers are using video
to detect events in real time to quickly andeffectively investigate, respond, and pull together evidence after an event. With advanced
media analytics from OpenText™ IDOL, you
can easily integrate video surveillance footage
from any source, and enrich it with automatedanalysis that helps you discover issues faster.
When issues arise, it’s essential to identify andmitigate risks correctly and in the shortest possible time frame. Because facility closures canseverely disrupt passenger travel on a wide scaleand have a disastrous financial impact, it’s important to be able to gather critical facts about anincident and accelerate the investigation. IDOL
allows you to search through footage for activity,
objects, and events of interest, so you can reduce closure time after a security event.

Meet Traditional Challenges
A few of the challenges that can hinder transportation facility security include the following:■ Lost time spent searching throughsurveillance videos from police, public, andprivate cameras using manual processes■ Loss of significant revenue due to closuresand cancellations when events such asaccidents or security breaches require
investigation time
■ Limited effectiveness of live humanmonitoring of CCTV cameras due toshortfalls in human concentration span
■ Elevated risk of missing out on thousandsof events on cameras that are notactively monitored■ Limited ability to connect the dots in an

investigation that relies on manual analysis

Improve Overall
Surveillance Operations
IDOL easily integrates into any existing security
infrastructure, which elevates its effectivenessin helping the security team spot and react tosuspicious activities and/or personnel while
minimizing the risk of disruptive false alarms
and shortening the investigative time.
■ Automate real-time analysis of video,audio, and text data and performing data
fusion to deliver holistic intelligence.
■ Enable activity profiles and alerts toachieve intelligent workflow.

Real-Time 360-Degree Intelligence
You can quickly and more effectively assessyour risk level with IDOL helping you to put thepuzzle pieces together. Here are a few of theways you can facilitate a higher level of security:
1. Scene analysis. Use video feeds fromvarious locations to detect the suspicious
activities and enable automated people
counting for irregular flow analysis.
2. Facial recognition. Detect suspicious

activities associated with a person of
dubious background.
3. License plate and vehicle recognition.

Detect suspicious vehicles and/or avehicle registered to suspicious person(s)identified by facial recognition.

4. Text analytics. Use social media and/or

other textual communications to detectcriminal tendency.
5. Audio signature recognition. Detect

unusual noises (e.g., gunshot) where aperson and/or vehicle of interestis present.

Automated Workflow and Alert Triggers
Video analytics software can automaticallydetect and alert on a wide variety of high-risk
scenarios that require attention from security
officers, who do not have the bandwidth to actively monitor massive arrays of video screens.
You can also detect suspicious activity and get
real-time alerts from thousands of currently
unmonitored cameras.

Increase Network Safety
IDOL can help you detect issues such as perimeter breaches and suspicious activities
around aircrafts. You can also perform video
surveillance activities in other areas, including:■ Public areas. Track unattended packages,people going off the end of a train platform,
unusual people movements, missing
children, and overcrowding.
■ Restricted areas. Check for perimeter

intrusion, secure zone breaches, facialrecognition at entry and exit points,and vandalism.

■ Entry/exit roads and parking lots. Detectblocking of emergency exits, stopped andabandoned vehicles, and parking violations.
■ Underpass collision avoidance:

ACCELERATE INVESTIGATIVE SEARCH
IN LONG VIDEO FOOTAGENow you can check when a person was present in a restricted area just by searching for a“person.” The solution will return the time instances when a person was present, which canthen be reviewed for authorized or unauthorized access behavior. This typically reduces
the review time for a 24-hour video to less thanan hour.
USE TAGGED CONTENT AS EVIDENCE
IN COURTS

We help you to maintain the evidential trail withan audit of accesses. Whether the video is primary evidence as with live streams or secondary evidence in the case of “bit for bit” ingested
recordings, the strength of the evidence ismaintained for court use.

Increase Revenue andImprove Operations throughAdvanced Analytics
With automated monitoring and media analytics capabilities, IDOL allows you to reliably
detect and send alerts on hundreds of different
scenarios, so you can get the most out of limited resources. Free up the staff that may nothave the time available to dedicate to active
monitoring, and reduce the risks of both oversight and false alarms.

Real-World Analytics Use Cases
for Transportation Safety:■ City traffic enforcement:– Roadways: speed check withANPR (Automatic Number PlateRecognition) cameras– Red light intersections: detect red lightviolations and illegal turning– Bridge underpasses: monitor vehicle
height to provide live warnings to driversof over-height vehicles via
roadside signage■ Railroad safety:– Level crossings: monitor traffic lights
and vehicles crossing to produce an evidence pack for charging illegal crossers.
– Automatically generated evidence packincludes incident video, images of recognized number plate, and windscreen toaid driver identification.
■ Intelligent entry:– Bus station approach road: monitor vehicle types to automatically lower bollards
for buses only

Confront Threats Intelligently
Transportation security officers need a holistic
view of events and the threats around them.
OpenText™ provides the ability to correlate andanalyze data gained from multiple sources, so
you can adopt an intelligent approach to security. Security analysts can now reduce the timespent on investigating cases and increase theireffectiveness by improving detection of suspicious activities in real time.
