Transportation

The security challenges facing the Transportation sectors are some of the most diverse in any sectors as they related to the types of threats that are present and the scale of the sector.

The movement of passengers and cargo by road and rail has been one of the most frequently targeted sectors for both terrorists and organised crime.

Challenge

Transport organisation and storage facilities have to protect against a wide range of threats that can range from theft and vandalism. In this sector, the size of the industry leads to challenges in both the range of vulnerabilities and the volume of passengers and freight to be protected, creating a need for systems that can be scaled to meet requirements. Safety of passengers and the protection of freight are paramount and the ability to create co-ordinate responses to incidents is becoming increasingly critical.

PMT Security can help to meet security requirements by providing access control, CCTV and intruder products. From single door access control to enterprise wide integrated security systems PMT solutions empowers the transportation industry to meet its requirements to ensure a safe and secure environment.

The CCTV solution provides the ability to monitor perimeter boundaries, container parks and depots & terminal buildings as well as storage facilities. The power and flexibility of the products PMT and their partner’s support means that the same system can be used to monitor vehicles in transit in order to meet legislative standards.

Access control can limit access to sensitive area and CCTV systems can help identify suspicious activity. When linked together with other systems such as intrusion detection, fire and public address systems can become a powerful command and control application allowing users to detect, monitor and respond to events in the most safe and effective way. Access control is an important part of the security environment in transport sector and provides the ability to control and monitor movement of staff in restricted areas. This helps the authorities to meet the requirements of the standards set in place for the protection of employees and members of the public. The ability to run CCTV and access control systems over an existing IT infrastructure is particularly beneficial due to the geographical area that maybe required delivering a solution. Having to run additional cabling or wireless links for separate systems can involve significant man hours and unnecessary expense to the client.
