In China, the Tianjin Rail Transit (TRT) in China is to extend its Qognify video management system (VMS) to provide coverage for the city’s Metro expansion, reports Qognify, formerly NICE Security. Some 273 kilometres of transit lines and 42 stations will be covered, by over 4,000 video cameras.
Tianjin, pictured, in northern coastal China near Beijing, is seeing steady population growth from over 15 million inhabitants. In 2015, the Tianjin Transit Group, the body responsible for managing the city’s metro construction, deployed Qognify’s video management software.
Mr. Song, Director of Construction, Tianjin Transit Group, said: “For large-scale metros, managing security in a unified, centralised and robust way is always a big challenge to operators, public security, and government authorities. With Qognify’s advanced technology and deep transportation industry experience, we’re able to provide passengers a safe and secure environment, and to our employees an easy to access, scalable, and stable system to monitor and manage our entire Metro. These capabilities give us confidence to build more metro lines in Tianjin, which will greatly increase the friendliness of the city. We trust Qognify and believe they have the depth of experience we need.”
And Moti Shabtai, President of Qognify, said: “There is a unique combination of the right technology and breadth of transportation relevant experience that makes a massive difference to the success of large scale transportation projects such as the Tianjin Metro. Tianjin Metro sets an example for public transport organisations and we’re proud to be able to provide the required level of expertise as we solidify our market-leading position in the transportation sector.”
