The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a person appears inside the trackbed, below the platform edge
Then
- alert the control room and the station supervisor with the camera and the platform
- open the video from a few seconds before they went down
- put the alert in front of whoever can stop the trains
The instruction that set it up«Tell me straight away if anyone gets down onto the track, on any platform, at any hour.»
What changes
What changes for whoever runs the station
It is the worst thing that can happen in a station and it is settled in seconds. The station supervisor cannot be on four platforms at once, and today he almost always finds out because a passenger runs over to tell him or because someone hits the emergency button. With IRIS the alert comes up while the person is on the track, with the camera and the platform, and it goes straight to whoever can stop the trains. That supervisor gains the seconds that separate a fright from a tragedy.
What people usually ask
What if it is a track worker going down to do a job?
The rule is narrowed with what the camera itself can see: the high-visibility vest, the time window of the possession and the stretch where work is scheduled. With those three conditions, a worker in a vest inside the work window raises nothing, while a person with no vest in mid-afternoon does. IRIS does not know who either of them is, and it does not need to: it tells the situation apart, not the person.
Does IRIS stop the train?
No. IRIS raises the alert and puts the camera, the platform and the video in front of you; stopping the trains is a person's decision, and it should stay that way. It can also be set up to fire automatic notices — a sound in the room, a message to the supervisor's phone, an alert to the platform staff — but the order to hold the trains stays human.
Does it work in low light or in the tunnel section?
It depends on what the camera can see. With the normal platform lighting IRIS sees a person on the track perfectly well; at the mouth of the tunnel, where the light drops away, it sees less — exactly as a person looking at that same screen would. That is why every platform is checked before the coverage is signed off, and where the camera does not reach, we say so and fix it with another camera or another lens.
See it for yourself
A camera looks. IRIS understands what it sees.
An extract of the real screen, no voice-over and hands-free. Each round poses another situation. What sits behind it is a good deal bigger than what you see.
- You draw the line
- It counts by itself
- A number comes out
Next step
What does an airport see before the queue forms?
14 cases: 7 raise an alert when something happens and 7 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
What can a camera see without pointing at anyone?
13 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 4 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
A recording gets watched when nothing can be done.An alert lands while there is still time to act.
IRIS raises the alert while it is happening and says where: the camera, the time and the images from that moment. With that, whoever is on duty is still in time to act.
