COE Limited was founded in 1989 with a vision of developing the highest quality video surveillance equipment in the world.

The pursuit of this vision has led to the development of a world-class product set designed to

perform without compromise in challenging environments.

Rail is a sector where maintaining secure operations is absolutely critical. The technologies

engineered into COE product solutions ensure not only that systems will perform to the highest

standard possible, but also that networks will never be compromised through device or path loss

failure, or through acts of sabotage.

Working in conjunction with integration partners, COE has designed and implemented video

surveillance solutions for many of the world’s largest and most complex rail and metro

networks.

The combined experience specifying and delivering over 10,000 sites provides an unparalleled

expertise in providing optimum video surveillance solutions for this demanding market.

Transport solutions over 20 years in the making

Today, half of the world’s population live in cities. Global increases in urban populations have intensified

usage of transit systems, pushing infrastructure and transport services to operate at their highest capacity.

As urban populations have increased, the pressures on road and rail networks have

also increased, with far greater numbers of people utilising services which may not have

developed to accommodate such an increase in volume.

The pressure on maintaining services indefinitely whilst simultaneously managing

heavier usage has created a necessity for the development of intelligent management and

control technologies across the entire operational scope of transportation networks.

The costs of failing to maintain secure and safe operations in the urban transportation

market may be devastating. The financial implications of disruptions to the running of large

urban transportation networks are major.

However, as numerous terrorist attacks on rail networks around the world have shown, the

most worrying threat is that to human life. Risks to public safety are the foremost concern

when addressing security considerations for transportation networks.

Station Control Room

Operators can monitor activity at ticket machines, platforms, car parks,

concourse areas and all other zones in and around the station area. Intelligent

video analytics may be also used to assist the activities of the operator.

Onboard Video Monitoring

COE TransitGuard™ system provides instant access on the train to live and recorded

surveillance footage. This is delivered via a touch screen video interface. Status

monitoring of devices (e.g. cameras, NVRs) on the train is also provided simultaneously

through this interface.

Train-To-Track Transmission

Integrating third party wireless equipment, COE can provide ‘train-to-track’communication of onboard video to each station, and also to an

operational control centre.

Building a Rail Surveillance Solution

Intelligent Video Analytics

COE offer a range of intelligent video analytics products. This technology assists CCTV operators by detecting

and alerting to behaviour and activities governed by a wide range of

predefined rules.

Level Crossing Applications

COE has UK national rail approval for use of a number of our transmission products in safety critical

applications such as level crossing monitoring. This is a highly acclaimed endorsement and COE is the only UK

manufacturer to receive such approval for its transmission products.

Operational Control Centre

Utilising COE surveillance, transmissionand management equipment, the Operational Control Centre (OCC) is facilitated to access

and control video from anywhere across the entire network. Access to COE SmartDetect analytics, remote

site surveillance and to COE TransitGuard footage is also made available to operators at the OCC.

Enterprise System Management

COE has designed systems which can access real-time video from 80+ stations across a network. We have implemented systems

for high profile rail networks worldwide capable of

managing and recording over 8000 cameras

simultaneously.

Building a Rail Surveillance Solution

Real-time intelligent video analytics

COE offers sophisticated video analytics

solutions for use on platform, rail lines, depots,

tunnels and crossings. Integrating analytics into

a CCTV system adds significant value to the

system and can help to avoid operator fatigue

and “video blindness”. COE has implemented

analytics solutions on port, rail and industrial

sites with significant effect.

COE’s I-Command® SmartDetect video analytics

software is integrated into the control system

for automated alarm alert and video recording

triggers, permitting very fast response to incidents,

as well as retrospective recording searches. Alarms

may be delivered via SMS, email or visually on the

operators’ monitor as required.

Left baggage – Alerting to objects left intentionally or unintentionally in and around station areas.

Platform edge monitoring – Alerting when people stray too close to the platform’s edge.

Crowding – Tackling potential risks of accidents, injury or damage from over-crowding.

Queue build-up – Raising awareness of incidents at ticket machines, escalators or other bottleneck zones.

Objects on the track – Alert to presence of concrete blocks, trees etc. that could cause accidents if undetected.

Unauthorised access to restricted areas – Alerting of malicious intent to property or staff.

In addition to these examples, there are also many more applications for analytics in the rail sector.

Analytics is an emerging technology that allows the continuous observation of activity within a camera’s field of view without the requirement for an operator to be actively monitoring.

Typical uses for video analytics within rail systems include:

COE has been supplying UK rail networks with approved video transmission equipment for over 15 years.

COE equipment has received approval for usage in rail environments where consistent and fault-free

streaming of video is an absolute necessity.

A typical example of an application for COE equipment in the rail sector is the remote monitoring and

control of road/rail level crossings, where safety is a critical factor. Using COE transmission equipment,

the physical presence of operators at the crossing is eliminated, enabling centralised monitoring of several

crossings within an area, heightening efficiency and operational capacity.

COE supplies two systems, both of which are approved for all line types (electrified and non-electrified)

that exist across the UK :

Approved by UK national rail network for fault-free operation

We have successfully deployed these systems across Europe within other national rail networks for similar

purposes. Both systems meet the strictest accreditation and approvals available in these countries.
