Power system
Escalators and
elevators
Signalling systems
Control Centre
Radio and telephone
Way and track
PA system
Electronic displays
Video surveillance
Fare and collection

7. Old but well Integrated

9. .0.

10. Emerging Technologies
Today’s new threats force Public Operators to
acquire new effective technologies that are more
and more sophisticated
–Video analytics, CCTV, real-time passenger
information systems, detection systems, etc…
The arrival of such new technologies multiplies
the interfaces that operators must manage @ CC
This increased interface complexity may become
incompatible with the efficient management of
emergencies

11. Emergency Response @ OCC
What do we ask our operators in an
emergency situation?
 Analyze a lot of data coming from multiple
systems
 Execute an emergency response plan that they
don’t practice often
–Perform multiple tasks simultaneously
–Make good decisions
–Communicate effectively
 Under stress, very quickly and without making
any mistakes

12. Advanced Incident Management

13. Tasks
 Stop all trains
 Locate the smoke bomb
 Call police, fire department, emergency services…
 Determine the proper ventilation scenario
 Activate 25 fans in different modes of operation
according to the scenario
 Evacuate the affected area
 PA announcement
 Evacuate retailers and workers located in the area
 Etc…

16. Security is an Integral Part of a
Bigger Whole
 Increased Security (quality
& faster response time @
lower cost)
 Fashionable, Comfortable &
Appealing Environment
 Timely and Accurate Travel
Information Everywhere
 Safer & More Efficient
Operations (better service
with less resources)

26. The Benefits of Interdependent Integration
(Simulation of an Emergency Situation
on Train – 3D Animation)

27. Summary
Security and Passenger Comfort are
Becoming a Strategic Tool for Operators to:
 Improve Passenger Service
 Augment Brand Loyalty to Compete
and Maintain/Increase Revenue
 Increase Operation Efficiencies
Integrated Interdependent Control,
Information and Security (CIS) Systems
Play a Vital Role in the Implementation of
this Strategy:
 Effective Incident Management via Quality
& Faster Response Time @ Lower Cost
 More and Improved Services
