Enhancing Mass Transit Safety and Security with AI-Boosted Geospatial Video Analytics
Mass transit systems form the backbone of urban mobility, facilitating the movement of millions daily. However, ensuring safety, preventing service disruptions, and protecting critical infrastructure remain persistent challenges. Traditional security measures struggle to provide real-time, accurate monitoring and detection due to vast operational areas and evolving threats.
By detecting events before they result in more catastrophic events, loss of life, and system downtime, transportation authorities and law enforcement can intervene to deescalate situations and return the system to normal operations with minimal service interruption. The PureActiv® system provides detection, alerting, and proactive deterring of potential safety and security events, which helps protect lives and critical assets. With decades of field deployments and continuous innovation, PureTech’s patented AI-Boosted video analytics provides very high probability of detection with a very low nuisance alarm rate. Additionally, PureTech’s solutions include integrations with other sensor systems to provide the most effective and affordable safety and security solutions. The solutions scale incrementally so that you only pay for the capabilities you need.

Need a Rapid Deploy Solution?
(R-DAPSS) enables airports, borders, military bases, seaports, transit agencies, and utilities to quickly deploy a temporary or permanent high fidelity virtual perimeter system at substantially less cost and time than a hard-wired solution. The PureActiv R-DAPSS provides the same best-in-class level of perimeter intrusion detection, auto-verification, and automated deterrence as a hard wired-solution. Security and facility managers can now secure their perimeters quickly without planning and executing a large construction project.
