Metro Taipei Adopted Axiomtek's Intelligent Surveillance Solution

Metro Taipei Adopted Axiomtek's Intelligent Surveillance Solution for Passengers Safety

Public Transportation Safety

The safety of passengers and drivers aboard public transports has been the ongoing focus of mass transit operations worldwide. Within Taiwan, the Metro Taipei and the Department of Rapid Transit Systems (DORTS) began to pay attention to surveillance systems due to multiple random attacks that occurred in the metro system. They have invested in the newest onboard surveillance system that incorporates transportation-certified computer hardware, security software, cameras, and other components to create an effective onboard surveillance system for the Taipei MRT (Massive Rapid Transit).

Challenges

The demand for public transport safety management is various with complexity; normally, it is not just a single unit or system that could achieve the entire job. Therefore, the integration of system platforms along with railway electromechanical design has become a major task. A professional system integrator with excellent system integration capabilities and rich experiences as well as a hardware supplier offering high-quality products are indispensable.

Main Requirements

EN 50155 certified for railway applications
Supports multiple high-definition cameras
High storage capacity and great connectivity
Compatibility with Windows® Embedded Standard 7 and selected monitoring software are required
High reliability and wide-operating temperature range in a rugged environment
Longevity of product life

Axiomtek’s tBOX324-894-FL & P6105 Enhance Surveillance System

Axiomtek proposed its tBOX324-894-FL, a fanless network video recorder (NVR) system powered by the 7th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor to meet the customer’s expectations. The NVR platform is certified with EN 50155, EN 50121, E-Mark, ISO 7637, DNV 2.4, and compliant with EN 45545-2, IEC 60945 for use in a variety of transportation applications. It is equipped with two DDR4-1866/2133 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 32GB of system memory. To suit the need for extensive storage, it is equipped with two swappable 2.5” SATA3 HDDs and one CFast™ slot. The rugged transportation embedded system is also designed to operate in a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 70°C and in high vibration environments.

Axiomtek also proposed its P6105, an EN 50155 certified 10.4-inch railway touchscreen monitor for train operation control displays. The driver can monitor onboard conditions and make optimized decisions immediately based on the collection and analysis of all relevant data. The rugged monitor offers a resistive touchscreen with 500 nits of brightness. It is equipped with an RS-232 touch control interface and multiple video inputs for DVI-D, HDMI. The EN 50155-certified railway touch monitor supports a wide temperature range from -25°C to +55°C.

Application: How tBOX324-894-FL & P6105 Integrate Surveillance System

A total of 180 units of tBOX324-894-FL and 60 units of P6105 have been ordered in this project. Axiomtek’s tBOX324-894-FL has integrated with a video surveillance system to connect in/out-car cameras via an Ethernet switch with M12 connectors to monitor not only the metro system to prevent passengers from an emergency but also the tracks to ensure driver safety. Moreover, the smoke detectors are connected to the NVR computer through DIO for fire or smoke alerts. By connecting the P6105 railway monitor via the RS-232 touch control interface, the driver can view nine cameras in a split-screen monitor for real-time monitoring. Windows® Embedded Standard 7 and monitoring software are also available.
