Increase security in public transport: P-REACT Trial in Bologna
The P-REACT solution focuses on connecting authorities, citizens, business owners, infrastructure owners, security and law enforcement personnel so that petty crime can be effectively dealt with and prevented in the future. The P-REACT project developped a low cost surveillance platform that detects volume crimes and incidents. The solution encompasses intelligent video and audio sensors, cloud based monitoring, alert detection and storage platform.
Real-world trials in Bologna and Athens
Two trials will be conducted this year to test the P-REACT system under real conditions. The scope of the trials is twofold: On the one hand to test and demonstrate P-REACT underlying technologies and the maturity (Technology Readiness Level –TRL) of the whole system, and on the other hand to promote to an external audience and show P-REACT applicability for future exploitation.
The trials will take place in:
- Athens on 25th February 2016: the trial in Athens will concentrate on indoor environments, focusing on petty crimes in small shops and gas stations. The targeted audience will be composed mostly by representatives from related target groups, e.g. Gas station companies/associations, chamber of commerce/business networks, security companies, Police forces, public administration, etc.
- Bologna on 31st March 2016: the trial in Bologna will test use cases in outdoor environment, investigating anti-social behaviour and petty crimes common in public transportation field. The audience will comprise stakeholders involved in the transportation sector (public and private), transportation services providers and managers, and public authorities. Along with the trial, the P-REACT final event will be held. Download the event agenda here.
