Transit Security
Service Graphic
Definition:The Transit Security service provides for the physical security of transit passengers and Wichita Transit vehicle operators. On-board equipment is deployed to perform surveillance and sensor monitoring in order to warn of potentially hazardous situations. The surveillance equipment includes video (e.g., CCTV cameras), audio systems and/or event recorder systems. The sensor equipment includes threat sensors (e.g., chemical agent, toxic industrial chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological sensors) and object detection sensors (e.g., metal detectors). Transit user or Wichita transit vehicle operator activated alarms are provided on-board. Public areas (e.g., transit stops, park and ride lots, stations) are also monitored with similar surveillance and sensor equipment and provided with transit user activated alarms. In addition this service provides surveillance and sensor monitoring of non-public areas of Wichita transit facilities (e.g., transit yards) and transit infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels.
The surveillance and sensor information is transmitted to Wichita Area Public Safety Agencies, as are transit user activated alarms in public secure areas. On-board alarms, activated by transit users or Wichita transit vehicle operators are transmitted to both Wichita-Sedgwick Public Safety Agencies and the Wichita Transit Operations Center, indicating two possible approaches to implementing this service.
