Case Study - Transport Security - Bus and Rail Security by Verint
Eurotransport BVG.

For transport operators, protecting their passengers, staff and their assets is of paramount importance, and increasingly so. Whether on buses, trains or trams, indeed on any passenger transport, combating crime and dealing with the fall-out of crime is a major concern, fraught with challenges. For Eurotransport, Robert Wint, Marketing Director of EMEA Verint Solutions interviewed Mr. Burkhard Eberwein, Head of Vehicle Management (Bus) Department at BVG, who examines the challenges and developments concerning security for public transport users in Berlin

Perhaps the greatest challenge is how to find the most viable, most cost-efficient and most effective way of dealing with the serious issues of violence and vandalism that plague network operators, reduce passenger numbers and impact significantly on the bottom line. The solutions, too, must have the support of those passengers and the wider public at large, not to mention the authorities, in order for those solutions to work.

One network operator that can genuinely claim to be at the forefront of providing a safe environment for staff and passengers alike is Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), one of the largest bus operators in the European local public transport sector. BVG’s network comprises nine underground railway lines, 22 tram lines and 201 bus routes as well as six ferries on Berlin’s waterways.

Wholly owned by the State of Berlin since 1929, when BVG was established in 1847 it
operated five bus routes with 20 horse-drawn vehicles and 120 horses. Today its vehicles carry approximately 900 million passengers – equivalent to over 2.4 million people very day – and its bus routes alone total more than 1,600km. Almost 6,600 unidirectional bus stops (total of day and night services combined) are available.

Vandalism and petty crime BVG suffers no more than any other transport
operator in Europe from incidences of petty vandalism on its buses, or other outbreaks of antisocial behaviour. Assaults on drivers or other passengers are thankfully still the exception, rather than the rule, but BVG nevertheless understands it has a public duty to try and reduce any examples of crime on its buses to nil, if at all possible.

Case Study - Port Security and Cargo Security by Verint
Port of Galveston

The Company
Located on the upper coast of Texas, the Port of Galveston provides easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and serves as a strategic port for trade between the United States and its international partners.

Operational Overview
The port stretches across an 850 acre campus and includes facilities handling all types of cargo, including containers, dry and liquid bulk, break bulk, roll on-roll off, refrigerated and project cargo, two cruise ship terminals handling more than 370,000 passengers per
year, and access to two national railway systems with direct connections to major US cities.

Strategic Challenge
In today’s climate, Port Director Steve Cernak and other directors of ports on coasts throughout the world are working to meet increasingly stringent security objectives.

The Solution
The Port recently implemented a Verint® Networked Video Solution to enhance security of its container facilities, passenger terminals, and perimeter.
“We researched video surveillance solutions and found that Verint offered the solution that provided all of the key elements we need,” Cernak said. “Technologically and economically, Verint offered the best solution given the vastness of the system we require. Because of the port’s size and scope, we found that the only way to connect to the system was to use wireless technology. In addition, the size and complexity of the system required an intelligent solution to manage all of the components.”

The Bottom Line
A Verint Networked Video Solution enables the Port of Galveston to enhance the security of its facilities by networking video across multiple locations using wireless and wired equipment. By applying advanced content analytics to extract actionable intelligence from live and stored video, the system helps secure facilities and perimeter from a central location.

The Port of Galveston uses a proprietary software analysis tool to determine the most effective and economical camera placement. By alerting security personnel to potential security threats as they occur, the Verint solution is designed to help the Port prevent security breaches and improve response time. In addition, the system is integrated
with the Port’s infrared illumination technology for low light visibility.

Strategic Challenge
Enhance surveillance and security to protect the critical infrastructure of this energy provider's extensive perimeters and remote facilities.

The Solution
Verint® Networked Video Solution

The Bottom Line
Idaho Power has relied on their Verint Networked Video Solution for several years, starting with three sites and expanding the system to seven locations, ranging from dams, power plants, and co-generation plants to the utility's corporate headquarters. The power company had a new gas turbine engine facility under construction and three new sites on the drawing board in 2005.

The Verint Networked Video Solution is specified for all of these new facilities in the planning phase, enabling easy installation as the sites are built.

Idaho Power relies on Verint for surveillance of the extensive perimeters of its geographically dispersed facilities, as well as protection of gated entrances. All video feeds, from wireless and wireline cameras, are channeled to a central monitoring location, enabling Idaho Power security personnel to monitor all sites at
once and quickly dispatch officers to investigate unusual occurrences. Secure Web access allows Idaho Power's site managers to access video feeds from any of their locations when they need to review footage
of an incident.

Case Study - Airport Security by Verint
Detroit Metro Airport

Airport Shutdowns Cost Millions
In the last two months of 2001, there were 30 airport shutdowns in the United States alone. Breaches in security resulting in shutdowns cost the airline industry millions of dollars. Over 1,000 flights were delayed, and 434 planes had to have their passengers exit for re-screening. In the past, shutdowns have typically been the result of a security breach at the checkpoint. These breaches have mainly been caused by:

• A person running through the airport without stopping at the checkpoint
• Confusion caused by a passenger who was selected for secondary screening, but moved
through the checkpoint into a sterile area
• A person entering a sterile area through an exit lane, moving in the wrong direction

Integrated Alarm Systems: Key To Success

Detroit Metro, like other airports in the US and around the world, suffered shutdowns from breaches long before the incidents of September, 2001. By integrating their surveillance system with alarm systems, Detroit Metro Airport has alleviated costly shutdowns and saved both time and money. Using Verint® Networked Video Solutions, airport security is notified immediately of any breach at a checkpoint and is
able to immediately notify other checkpoints to stop the processing of additional passengers.

Verint Systems Inc., a leading provider of analytic software-based solutions for workforce-enterprise optimisation and security today announced that Metro Transit has selected its Nextiva™ Transit solution to enhance the security of passengers and operators on-board its buses in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Metro Transit manages an integrated network of buses and trains and is the 18th largest transit system in the US, with approximately 240,000 rides provided each weekday. As the principal transit provider in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, Metro Transit recently launched a multi-million bus fleet security initiative designed to further enhance passenger safety and prevent crime. As a critical component of this strategy, Nextiva Transit will help modernise the transit authority’s security infrastructure, replacing existing analogue recorders with a scalable, rugged and flexible digital video solution.

“Metro Transit was one of the first agencies to deploy analogue on-board video recording solutions to help increase passenger safety,” said Brian Lamb, General Manager of Metro Transit. “Verint’s Nextiva Transit solution will help us transition to digital on-board video to create a more robust security environment.”

Nextiva Transit will provide video across 240 buses and allow Metro Transit to wirelessly transfer marked video back to garage operations personnel for investigation and risk management purposes. Nextiva Transit will enable more effective management of Metro Transit’s entire on-board video network through automatic system health monitoring, camera tampering detection and proactive problem notification.

“Transit authorities today are faced with a growing need to protect their staff and riders and mitigate risk across their vast transit networks,” said Dan Bodner, President and CEO of Verint Systems Inc. “Verint’s Nextiva Transit solution, built on our expertise from thousands of successful deployments, helps leading providers like Metro Transit increase security and enhance the effectiveness of their entire operations.”

Nextiva Transit is part of the Nextiva portfolio of networked video solutions. Nextiva enables organisations of all sizes, from small and mid-sized enterprises to major government and commercial organisations, to enhance the security of their facilities and infrastructure and the performance of their business operations by networking video across multiple locations and applying advanced content analytics to extract actionable intelligence from live and stored video. By alerting security personnel to potential security threats, Nextiva helps organisations prevent security breaches, improve response time and enhance operational efficiency.
