Bombardier Transportation and its consortium partner Hartasuma has recently delivered the first of 14 Innovia Metro 300 trains for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for operation on the Kelana Jaya Line. The new train fleet will increase public transport capacity, and enhance public transport in the city.
Designed for driverless operation, security onboard the Innovia Metro 300 will become essential for the safety of passengers. To enhance security, surveillance systems that can monitor the train 24/7 can be deployed to help identify and deter any unlawful acts of crime on the trains, as well as bring peace of mind to the passengers.
In an era where new innovative security technology is used for protection and monitoring, security systems can also be implemented to improve efficiency for manpower. For example, video management systems embedded with video analytics can be used to identify suspicious activity at stations, which can direct security personnel to the area. Also, the analytics data collected can be used to help the station to position security guards in areas where more criminal acts occur — a great prevention tool to put a stop to criminal activity before it happens and an effective way to organize security guard stationing.
As security awareness has increasingly grown throughout Asia due to recent global terrorist attacks, governments should consider implementing the necessary security measures for light metro stations in order to promote safety.
