A study on Security within public transit vehicles
M. Tech · 2012
In public transit vehicles, security is the major concern for the passengers. Surveillance Systems provide the security by providing surveillance cameras in the vehicles and a storage that maintains the data. The applications that allow monitoring the data in surveillance systems of public transit vehicles will provide different features to access the video and allow to perform number of operations like exporting video, generating snapshots at a particular time, viewing the live as well as playback videos. This paper studies automation process of video surveillance system that can also be applied in the surveillance system of public transit vehicles. A new feature that enhances the security to the passengers such as tracking of vehicle through the GPS (Global positioning system) tracking system and also capability of providing the vehicle information like acceleration, speed, on the user interface of application to the user. Keywords-Surveillance Cameras; Global Positioning System; Automation; public transit vehicles. valuable in criminal investigations of incidents taking place on buses as well as outside crimes involving specific suspects whose images may be uncovered. Along with all the above specified benefits we propose a new feature that enhances the security is vehicle tracking during the movement of the vehicle in remote location and also providing the acceleration, speed, direction of the vehicle during the motion of it. So, that at any point when ever any unusual events happens the authorities can take immediate decision and also it reminds the driver to drive in controlled manner without crossing the limited field. This tracked information should be displayed on the user interface of the application while playing the live/playback video. We also studied the automation process of video surveillance systems in a static location like shopping malls, airports etc., The main aim of video surveillance is to develop intelligent video surveillance to replace the traditional passive video surveillance that is proving ineffective as the number of cameras exceed the capability of human operators to monitor them. The aim of visual surveillance is not only to put cameras in the place of human eyes, but also to accomplish the entire surveillance task as automatically as possible.
