Genetec has announced a portfolio of solutions designed to help transit organisations unify their security and operations from a single intuitive interface
The Genetec Transit Portfolio enables major stakeholders to work in sync using a solution that combines on-board and wayside security with operational and intelligence products that leverage their existing security infrastructure to provide additional insights.
Most onboard and wayside systems are built on separate, closed architectures that require costly custom updates and integrations to communicate with other systems in a limited way.
The transition to a single, open platform under a single glass pane helps to unify systems while laying the foundation for coordinated processes, effective response to incidents and collaborative work.
This facilitates the building up of internal processes to increase the overall operational efficiency of an agency. In addition, transit agencies are increasingly being requested from external partners (neighbouring transit agencies, law enforcement agencies, city services, etc.) for information. A unified system establishes an infrastructure which allows data to be shared while keeping it secure.
Jermaine Santoya, industry marketing manager for intelligent mobility at Genetec, said, "To meet evolving demands and travelers' expectations, transit agencies need to find creative ways to provide a safe and seamless journey for their customers, while also having the right systems and protocols in place to ensure efficient operations.
“Using a unified security platform allows them to track all events in their vehicles and premises, record and retrieve actionable information efficiently, and provide an optimal experience for all commuters.”
At the core of the Genetec Transit Portfolio is the Genetec Security Centre platform that unifies the capabilities of video management, access control, and automatic license plate recognition (ALPR).
With the Security Centre Omnicast video management system (VMS), transit agencies can monitor their infrastructure and vehicles to help protect commuters and staff using a wide range of industry-leading cameras, encoders, and CCTV equipment.
Security Centre Synergis access control system secures entrances for staff and commuters, improves compliance, while leveraging existing network and third-party access control devices.
Security Centre AutoVu automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) makes it easier for parking management teams to enforce parking restrictions by locating and counting vehicles of interest like buses, taxis, and car-sharing services, and providing a real-time inventory of vehicles on access roads and in monitored parking lots.
Genetec is a leading technology provider of unified security, public safety, operations, and business intelligence solutions.
