Description

Transport for London (TfL) operates a number of surveillance camera systems in support of the services it provides across London. These are used for a variety of purposes including traffic management, traffic enforcement, incident management, security monitoring and health and safety management and by numerous stakeholders, including operational control rooms, third parties such as emergency services and other local and national highway authorities. TfL is exploring opportunities to replace these operational systems with a single new cost effective, scalable, fit for purpose solution. It is expected that the new solution will allow TfL to fully utilise current and future open standards within the video and security marketplace and to embrace the evolving Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data technology landscape to deliver efficiencies and other improvements. This will enable TfL to deliver its strategic objectives as a transport authority and provide a step change in the use of visual derived data and information. The new solution will need to support a number of existing legacy components, including cameras, and provide system interfaces for multiple internal operational systems consuming video and associated video data. The system will also need to provide and accept video streams to and from third parties using suitable industry adopted protocols and standards. Additionally, it should support real-time video to web-based user interfaces so that the business can deliver the service more easily and inexpensively to business units within TfL and other selected stakeholders. It is anticipated that the initial scope of the system will include TfL’s road network (including tunnels), but the new system and supporting services should be capable of scaling to incorporate components and system interfaces from other TfL business areas including ‘London Underground’ and ‘Buses’.
