This
market package provides for the physical security of transit passengers.
An on-board security system is deployed to perform surveillance and warn
of potentially hazardous situations. Public areas (e.g. stops, park and
ride lots, stations) are also monitored. Information is communicated to
the Transit Management Subsystem using the existing or emerging wireless
(vehicle to center) or wireline (area to center) infrastructure. Security
related information is also transmitted to the Emergency Management Subsystem
when an emergency is identified that requires an external response. Incident
information is communicated to the Information Service Provider.
