With installations already in full operation on Shanghai Metro's Line 6 and Line 9, security specialist Beijing STY turned again to access control specialist TDSi's products, in partnership with its distribution partner in China, ZDX, to provide a fully integrated security solution for installation on Line 7.
Line 7 connects the Baoshan District with the city centre and Pudong District. Significantly, it also provided a vital link to the site of the World Expo, which was hosted by Shanghai in 2010.
Beijing STY, in conjunction with TDSi and ZDX, had already developed and supplied integrated access control solutions for Lines 6 and 9. Each Line is served by over 40 stations as well as its own Operational Control Center (OCC), with around 2,000 doors secured and controlled by TDSi's systems on each line.
The OCC and each station's controllers are programmed via EXgarde Enterprise, TDSi's access management software application. Each station is capable of operating independently of the server in cases where communications are lost - a key requirement in the specification for this particular project.
However should communications be lost between the center and any of the individual stations, changes and events are stored at the local stations until communications to the main server are re-established, at which point, the databases are re-synchronized.
