 Nextiva Transit video security solution in operation on TransLink buses
The Nextiva Transit technology will help enhance safety and security by deterring onboard incidents
Verint®Systems Inc. announced that TransLink, Vancouver's regional transportation authority, has implemented the Nextiva®Transit video solution from Verint® Video Intelligence Solutions™. Part of a planned, multi-phase security deployment, TransLink's first investment in the video security technology took place onboard its fixed-route bus fleet to help enhance passenger and operator safety and security.

TransLink serves 21 municipalities in the greater Vancouver region with a fleet of 1,432 buses, two passenger ferries, 210 light rail cars, and five commuter rail trains with 37 passenger cars. This vast network has rapidly grown as it prepares to deliver an estimated one million rides each day during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympics Winter Games.

The initial implementation, completed in December 2009, includes the installation of Nextiva Transit on 228 electric trolley buses based out of the Vancouver Transit Centre. With Verint's networked video technology, the regional transportation authority is furthering its focus on passenger and driver security, leveraging a reliable, scalable and flexible video platform.

Nextiva will help TransLink maintain the highest level of security and safety standards while meeting stringent compliance regulations

"Translink is pleased to be partnered with Verint as we take forward this important investment across our bus fleet. The Nextiva Transit technology will not only help enhance safety and security by deterring onboard incidents, it also will enable us to provide video support when needed to quickly investigate claims and support law enforcement when prosecution instances occur," explains Ward Clapham, Chief Officer, TransLink Transit Police.

Leveraging Verint's Nextiva solution specifically designed for transit operations, TransLink will benefit from the ability to automatically upload video from its buses to the central monitoring system, while providing efficient video management of TransLink's entire on-board network. With automatic system health monitoring, camera tampering detection and proactive problem notification, Nextiva will help TransLink maintain the highest level of security and safety standards, while meeting stringent compliance regulations.

"We're pleased to provide TransLink with world-class security capabilities designed to help protect passengers and operators while simplifying and mitigating risk across its vast transit network," adds Elan Moriah, President, Verint Video Intelligence Solutions and Verint® Witness Actionable Solutions®. "As a leading provider of networked IP video solutions, Verint understands the needs of public transportation authorities and is committed to delivering innovative solutions to address their most important security concerns."
