VIVOTEK has deployed AI-powered security solutions to improve safety, visibility, and operational efficiency across busy transportation hubs in Norway.
Background
Akershus Kollektivterminaler (AKT FKF) operates major transit hubs in the Oslo region, including Oslo Bus Terminal and Aker Brygge Ferry Terminal, serving over 450,000 passenger journeys daily.
At Lillestrøm Bus Terminal, the need for comprehensive indoor and outdoor monitoring, along with real-time incident visibility, drove the upgrade to an AI-based surveillance system.
Challenge
Before deployment, the terminal faced typical high-traffic challenges. Limited visibility across passenger zones and bus platforms reduced situational awareness.
Blind spots behind buses created safety risks for both passengers and drivers. Investigations were slow due to inefficient search tools, while legacy systems increased maintenance costs and operational complexity.
These issues highlighted the need for a scalable, intelligent, and integrated surveillance solution.
Solutions
VIVOTEK implemented an AI-powered system combining panoramic monitoring, outdoor coverage, intelligent search, and real-time driver visibility.
The deployment was delivered by Nimbus Fiber AS and commissioned by Vicon Norway AS.
Comprehensive Surveillance Coverage
Indoor monitoring is powered by CC9391-HV panoramic AI cameras, offering 180° visibility across passenger areas. Outdoor zones are secured with IB9387-EHTV-V3 AI cameras, covering bus platforms, blind spots, and parking areas.
All cameras use Edge AI analytics, sending metadata to the NVR. The VSS platform acts as a unified interface, eliminating the need for additional software. With Deep Search, operators can locate people, vehicles, and incidents within seconds.
Enhanced Driver Safety
RX9502 Video Receivers are installed across all 16 platforms, providing drivers with real-time rear-view footage to eliminate blind spots and reduce accidents.
Replacing traditional PCs with RX9502 units has lowered maintenance requirements and improved system stability. RTSP streaming ensures smooth, low-latency video delivery.
Scalable And Future-Ready Architecture
The system runs on a VIVOTEK NVR within a VSS Server environment, enabling centralized monitoring and long-term scalability.
Future integration with VORTEX Connect will allow flexible access, extended AI capabilities, and secure data sharing. Additional terminals can be connected via OpenVPN, positioning Lillestrøm as a centralized monitoring hub.
Key Benefits
- Improved passenger and driver safety
- Clear visibility behind buses at every platform
- Faster and more efficient incident investigations
- Stable, low-maintenance system design
- Scalable, future-ready surveillance infrastructure
Result And Customer Feedback
“This project has delivered exactly what we were looking for: improved passenger and driver safety combined with a solution that is scalable and future-proof. With intelligent search capabilities and a robust system architecture, the solution is well aligned with AKT’s long-term development plans. The goal is to ensure safety for travellers, bus drivers, employees at the terminal and everyone who travels in the area – i.e. Everyone should feel safe.”
— Jafar Altememy, CEO of AKT, and Roy Helge Solvang, Project Manager at AKT
