Safe Cities: How Network Video Is Revolutionising Transport Safety And Efficiency
Decades ago, the transportation sector was one of the earliest adopters of CCTV surveillance – understandable given security’s crucial role in encouraging people to use public services. Transport authorities must keep their systems running with as few interruptions as possible, so they must know what’s happening at all times – whether at stations, on board […]

Japan Civic Group Says Facial Recognition Project At Osaka Station A Violation Of Privacy
Mar 06, 2014 Ida Torres National 0 Civic group says facial recognition project at Osaka station a violation of privacy A civic group has requested that the planned two-year research project at the Osaka Station featuring facial recognition software be stopped as it violates the right to privacy of the public. The project is an initiative of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology and is supposed to improve the evacuation process by studying people’s movements and behavior at the train station. One of the members of the group is Yasuhiko Tajima, a law professor at Sophia University. He says that their aim is to stop Japan from becoming a “surveillance society” and for this issue, they’ve already written to the institute as well as to the West Japan Railway Co , the operator of the train station. During the press conference, he stated that this project will violate the Constitution’s guarantee to the right to privacy . “Indiscriminate videotaping in a public place itself is a problem,” he said. The project is supposed to start next month and the 90 cameras have already been installed around Osaka Station City, including the train station itself as well as the commercial complex adjacent to it. The institute has guaranteed that they will make sure that when they process the video, individuals will not be identified and their privacy will be protected. They will also be forming a third-party committee and get outside consultants to help them conduct the project. […]

Frost & Sullican: Mass Transport Operators Reinforce Security As Threats and Insuracne Claims Grow
Frost & Sullivan: Mass Transport Operators Reinforce Security as Threats and Insurance Claims Grow: — Ideal security solutions will have open architectures to offer convenience and value-added services LONDON, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — After airports, it is the turn of the global mass transport market to beef up security, as governments begin to address the security risks posed by large-scale unprotected infrastructure. In addition to terrorism threats, rising instances of crime, antisocial behaviour, and insurance claims have turned operators’ attention to new technologies in video surveillance, perimeter security, and sensors. The need for stronger security is undisputed, but mass transit operators are often constrained by lean budgets, especially since it is difficult to demonstrate return on investment (ROI) from these installations. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.defense.frost.com ), Global Mass Transport Security Market Overview, finds that the market earned revenues of $1.76 billion in 2012 and estimates this to reach $3.16 billion in 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 per cent (2012 to 2021). The market will continue to expand due to large investments in metro projects in China and the proposed expansion of current metro projects in India, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific. “Most of the security spending in mass transportation is expected to be directed at securing the stations where travellers gather, buses and rolling stock in which travellers are transported, and the areas adjacent to places where transportation is stationed,” said Frost & Sullivan Aerospace, Defence and Security Research Analyst Krzysztof […]
