Product manufacturer iOmniscient reports that it has developed a railway application to its detection product.
This is an addition to the IQ-Infinity product, for detecting of people on the train tracks and people who get too close to the edge of the platform while waiting at busy railway stations.
Need to detect
The company adds that international clients spoke of the need to detect people crossing the safety line on the platform, potentially risking a fall or a bump that could find the person falling onto the tracks. The company claims that its product differs from standard perimeter protection in that it is smart enough to know when a train is at the platform at which time it will ignore people who cross the safety line while setting off alarms when there is no train present. The system can set off an alarm if a person crosses the safety line and a more significant alarm if he actually gets on the track. Alarms can potentially activate a PA announcement, along the lines of "passengers are reminded to stand behind the yellow line".
The product firm adds that the most popular applications continue to be graffiti and vandalism detection plus the detection of suspicious abandoned objects such as bags or packages.
