Public transport has had a recent uptake in technological developments, impacted by events including the recent economic downturn and the World Cup, which has encouraged countries to increase their transportation infrastructure and thus security across the countries. Security has long been an issue for transportation with lighting, alarms, installation and maintenance all key factors. Sony Professional works closely with its customers to create bespoke solutions for any industry and has recently worked on solutions for railway companies across Europe.
Railway has its own unique issues associated with video security including lighting contrasts on the platforms, backlit station buildings, long lengths of track, and darkened tunnels. A railway security solution needs to be easily installed and maintained if it is to be cost-effective and efficient in monitoring a large network of outdoor rail.
