Train Security
Pixim-Powered Cameras Play an Important Role in Transport Security
In North America, trains most often are used to transport cargo economically. In Europe and Asia, trains play a more important role in passenger transportation, as well. But everywhere they are used, trains – and the tracks, stations, and cargo loading areas that serve them – pose particular challenges for security. Video cameras are ideal tools because they can operate 24/7 even in remote or lightly traveled areas, providing a cost-effective way to keep an eye on the rail infrastructure. Cameras located at underpasses and stations, for example, can be used to identify and monitor specific trains, which helps with the rapid and efficient movement of the trains. The round-the-clock nature of train travel, as well as the extreme lighting conditions caused by the physical layout of rail facilities, makes it difficult for traditional CCD-based security cameras to capture accurate images, especially when there’s high contrast between very bright and very dark areas of a scene.
