Advanced LiDAR Solutions for Railway Security

Metro and railway systems are increasingly exposed to safety and security risks, making the protection of infrastructure and passengers a top priority. Effective railway security systems are essential for public transport operators to navigate the delicate balance of defending against potential threats while ensuring that daily operations remain smooth and the passenger experience is uninterrupted. This responsibility encompasses the well-being of passengers, employees, and the entire network.

Key challenges for metro and railway operators include effectively monitoring critical areas, such as large, open platforms, tunnels, and restricted zones. Railway security systems must enable quick responses to potential threats and manage incidents effectively. Ensuring the safety of passengers in crowded, high-traffic areas while keeping the infrastructure secure is paramount. Operators must balance robust security measures with maintaining seamless and efficient transportation services.

Blickfeld LiDAR technology offers a substantial advantage in railway security systems with its precise, adaptable 3D monitoring that covers extensive areas using a single device. It excels in diverse outdoor conditions, including darkness and rain, and can detect object sizes independent of distance, reducing false alarms caused by small animals. The system supports the creation of virtual zones for various alarms, such as pre-alarms and climb-over alerts, facilitating early detection and rapid response. Its dense point cloud data enhances alarm verification. The QbProtect seamlessly integrates with existing security infrastructure and Video Management Systems (VMS), strengthening overall railway security systems.
