Chinese Security Enterprises Grasp the Business Opportunity of High-speed Railway Security

The railway is the lifeline of the national economy and the foundation of economic development. According to China's recent high-speed railway planning, by 2012, China will build 42 passenger dedicated lines with a total mileage of 13,000 kilometers. The country will form a “four vertical and four horizontal” railway rapid passenger transportation route, and most cities in the eastern, central and western regions will be included in the plan. . This shows that in the next 2-3 years, it will be the peak period for the construction of China's railways and high-speed rails.

The rapid development of China's high-speed rail technology has promoted the leap-forward development of railway security applications. However, according to the current level of overall technical protection in China, how to better participate in high-speed rail monitoring projects, how to better grasp the high-speed rail business opportunities, in the final analysis, market demand determines everything .

High-speed rail monitoring needs analysis High-speed rail is different from ordinary railways. It is a completely separate and independent railway passenger transportation system from traditional railways. Therefore, compared with traditional railway security applications, high-speed rail security applications have the advantages of advanced equipment, stability and system networking performance, and image transmission. Both the subsystem linkage and other aspects have put forward higher requirements.

High-speed rail video surveillance system is based on the original IP network, build a digital, intelligent, distributed monitoring environment, usually using video encoding and video analysis technology, to achieve low-stream high-definition video image acquisition, transmission and other functions, displayed in the command The center's large screen or computer workstations, and quickly and accurately deal with emergencies, to meet public security, passenger transport, scheduling, transportation, maintenance, vehicles, power supply and other departments and disaster prevention monitoring, rescue and other needs. The demand is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

24 hours a day to monitor the 24-hour operation of the railway system, passengers, vehicle groups, scheduling and other aspects of work day and night, which put the monitoring products also requested 24 hours a day work. The long-term continuous operation of security products requires that they must have excellent quality, can guarantee the accuracy of the preset position, and the stability of internal components. In the choice of equipment also need to consider the durability, to conduct strict high-temperature experiments on the product. If the outdoor operating temperature is 30°C, the inside of the monitoring product will be higher; if the quality of the motor belt is not good, it will be greatly affected by the temperature factor (thermal expansion and contraction), which may result in the malfunction of the entire equipment.

In order to cope with plateau terrain, ultraviolet radiation and various harsh environmental conditions, monitoring products need to have excellent protection levels and preventive measures.

The system is compatible with various requirements and the superposition of massive information, requiring the system platform to integrate the resources of each substation in a large number and to issue orders in a unified manner. However, in the high-speed rail monitoring project, the participating vendors are not only one, and each vendor will have a different product, resulting in a mismatch of protocol versions, and so compatibility is a more difficult problem. In this regard, the unity of the core node of the video should be ensured, and then the regional node platform may not be uniform, but it must be able to achieve unimpeded interconnection. Whether this problem can be solved directly affects the integrity and normal operation of the overall monitoring system.

Unattended - The production of intelligent video analytics monitoring products aims to replace people for security monitoring and supervision. However, in most cases, the backend platform is artificially managed for a long time, so that long-term monitoring will cause visual fatigue to the human eye. Therefore, the response speed to the abnormal situation in the monitoring image is reduced, and in the face of a monotonous monitoring image, the memory capacity of the person is also reduced, and it is difficult to remember the image contents for several hours or several tens of minutes before. Coupled with the complex and ever-changing monitoring environment, high-tech criminal means make human monitoring more difficult.

Intelligent analysis technology analyzes the background and target in the scene and replaces the human eye and human brain for monitoring and early warning responses. At present, this technology can already achieve object classification, cross-border detection, detection of legacy objects, crowd density detection, and so on. High-speed rail monitoring has a complex and diverse application environment. The use of people to monitor can no longer meet the needs of high-speed rail monitoring. Therefore, the application of intelligent analysis technology is an irresistible trend. However, the status quo of high-speed rail monitoring, how can domestic intelligent video analytics technology that is not yet mature can be applied better, this is a lot of participants need to think.

Integrated high-speed rail monitoring needs to meet the needs of many departments at the same time, the security products used by various departments are not the same, the application of the system is also different, other systems through the dry contact or API interface, to achieve the connection in the video surveillance system, when When the alarm is triggered, the video surveillance system completes the actions such as automatically starting the recording, automatically popping up the alarm screen, and recalling the preset position through a pre-set linkage program. This involves linkages between many departments and different systems, which all indicate that the high-speed rail monitoring The requirements for integrated linkage are very high.

How to grasp the high-speed rail business opportunities After fully understanding the needs of high-speed rail monitoring, it provides a practical basis for how to grasp the high-speed rail to monitor market opportunities. Although the offensives of well-known foreign security companies are still fierce, the rapid awakening and development of the domestic security industry has made the high-speed rail monitoring market more fierce. In order to better grasp business opportunities, domestic companies should address the following issues:

The equipment used for high-speed rail monitoring is nothing more than a camera, lens, head, shield, codec, optical transceiver, matrix control equipment, linkage equipment, detectors, video equipment, remote transmission equipment, back-end access equipment, Software platform and display equipment, etc., the performance of these products must meet the high-speed rail requirements. For example, the front-end monitoring device needs to have continuous acquisition of high-definition image information of the monitored area, which can be remotely controlled and invoked, and performs intelligent analysis and warning on the content of the video image, particularly for functions such as detention, intrusion, and retrograde alarm.

In the high-speed railway monitoring project that Yaan participated in, all the products are developed for high-speed rail monitoring and control. The research and development team established specifically brings together the research strength of the company's backbone, deepens the industry's needs, repeatedly argues and tests, and draws on international cutting-edge technologies. , Develop product lines with Yaan characteristics. Yaan's front-end monitoring products can realize 24-hour unattended monitoring. The intelligent analysis function enhances the perimeter intrusion warning and linkage with multiple systems on the original basis. In the case of tracking and analysis of multiple objects, it is possible to maintain a smooth screen and reduce the delay caused by processing power. Accurate, high-definition, fast, and intelligent features make linkage with back-end devices and other systems more reliable and faster. In order to adapt to the complex environment along the railway and have a high degree of protection and protection measures, multiple anti-oxidation treatment, nitrogen filling, to ensure high-definition image. All these superior qualities not only ensure the smooth operation of the entire high-speed rail safety monitoring system, but also reduce the probability of maintenance and reduce maintenance costs.

The dilemma of new technologies The harsh environment along the railway and the weather not only require the quality of the products to be excellent, but also require that the weather be clear and accurate in the case of wind, snow, and snow. Strong video analysis capabilities are the key to solving this problem. Moreover, high-speed rail video surveillance systems often need to be linked with disaster prevention systems. This requires intelligent monitoring of the monitored products for rainfall, wind speed, and water level. It is understood that there are 18 wind monitoring points, 9 rainfall monitoring points, 36 foreign object monitoring devices, 20 base stations, and 4 relay stations along the Fuzhou-Xiamen Railway. When the rainfall and wind speed do not meet the EMU operation, each monitoring station will directly transmit the data to the base station located in each railway station for computer processing and transmit it to the dispatching office of the Nanchang Railway Bureau for unified dispatch.

However, because China's video analysis technology is still in the development stage, coupled with the backwardness in hardware and software technology, it is necessary to make breakthroughs in intelligent analysis technology, and there is still a certain degree of difficulty. Especially in the face of severe winds, dust storms, heavy snow, heavy rain and other weather conditions, these will affect the intelligent analysis system, it is easy to cause false alarms.

Conclusion In summary, the high-speed rail security monitoring is not so much a big cake as a touchstone. The lag in the overall development of China's security market, the non-standard business model and management model, can not form economies of scale, but also cause waste of resources. However, opportunities that are favorable for the times and places lie ahead. Domestic security companies should rationally analyze and truly see the needs of the market and grasp the “key” of the project. If they want to win in the high-speed rail war, “the correct strategy and advanced Weapons are indispensable.
