Korea Railroad is a public corporation in charge of managing the national railroad of Korea and related business. The Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop (GRSW) of the metropolitan rolling stock maintenance depot is the starting point and final destination of Korea Train eXpress. It sits on more than 1.3 million square meters of land and consists of 31 buildings. To ensure the safety of the large site of the GRSW, TNX Systems, an Axis partner, proposed and installed full HD-grade Axis network cameras.
Mission
Korea Railroad is a public corporation in charge of managing the national railroad of Korea and related business. The Goyang Rolling Stock Workshop (GRSW) of the metropolitan rolling stock maintenance depot is the starting point and final destination of Korea Train eXpress (KTX). It sits on more than 1.3 million square meters of land and consists of 31 buildings.
To ensure the safety of the large site of the GRSW, TNX Systems, Axis's partner, proposed and installed full HD-grade Axis network cameras. Axis PTZ dome network cameras installed in the GRSW not only provide full HDTV quality and 20x optical zoom, but also have day and night functionality to provide high-quality images in places where there is almost no light.
Also, Axis CS-mount multifocal DC-Iris lens deliver 1-megapixel/HDTV high resolution streams with 30 fps using progressive scan to provide excellent quality images without any motion blur.
Ensuring safety through integration with the fire detection system
The automatic fire detection system automatically detects heat or smoke in case of fire, indicates where the fire started, and triggers alarms. Axis network cameras and TNX VMS are linked to the automatic fire detection system and display accurately where the fire started on a map and show images taken with the cameras in a pop-up. With the ability to now correctly grasp the situation and respond when a fire breaks out, the loss of lives and property are minimized, and shortcomings of existing firefighting facilities are remedied.
Client/server architecture makes it possible to access images anytime, anywhere
The GRSW used Axis network cameras and TNX's VMS IMVS to build the client/server-based video surveillance system that makes it possible to monitor images in real-time and search and play back recorded images not only at the central control room, but also in each office of the inspection garage. IMVS' perfect performance has been proven.
Using the optical communication network to install stable network cameras
Optical fiber was used to build the network infrastructure in the rolling stock depot on a large lot consisting of many buildings. As a result, it was possible to reduce the cost far more than with the existing analog system. PoE is supported so that power and cabling construction is not necessary, thereby reducing installation costs. Since the streaming is based on optical communication (real-time streaming protocol), which prevents image loss and noise due to transmission distance, the best image quality was secured.
