Enabling a safe return to rail travel: video-powered passenger protection

23 September 2021 | Available On-Demand

ABOUT THE WEBINAR:

The most important concern for rail and public transport companies today is to help passengers feel safe and secure and bring them back on board. Video surveillance technology helps to provide an environment in which passengers feel comfortable. In addition, the use of analytics can help to understand and optimize passenger flows, avoid crowded platforms or trains, and keep passengers informed. In this webinar the audience learnt how to leverage state-of-the-art technology to regain passenger trust, create new insights and return to pre-pandemic ridership levels.
