Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) awarded a consortium, led by Thales, a contract for the implementation of security systems on 61 railway stations throughout various regions in Italy. The consortium also includes Leonardo, Ingegneria & Software Indistriale (I&SI) and SE.GI.
Under the contract, Thales will deploy new integrated communication and supervision systems that will improve security in the railway stations. These new systems will facilitate the operation of all auxiliary security systems. They will be supported by users friendly interfaces to enable real time situational awareness, and enable operators to respond immediately in case of aggressions, acts of vandalism or violent behaviours and all other incidents requiring the physical intervention of security personnel. The ultimate aim is to optimise operational processes for security personnel, and allow them to respond more proactively in order to enhance passenger safety.
The new systems are designed to seamlessly integrate with legacy systems and ensure operational continuity within the scope of the 5-year warranty and maintenance services. The proposed solutions, include the introduction of new centralised software platforms to broaden the spectrum of activities that can be monitored at reduced maintenance costs. In addition, the integration of new technologies represents an important step by RFI in their efforts to guarantee livable and secure stations to become integral parts of the new cities, improving passengers experience.
