Navigating the Future: AI-driven Security Innovations (Leadership APTA)

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have the potential to revolutionize public transit security by enabling proactive, efficient, and adaptive solutions to address challenges faced by transit authorities and passengers.

This project focuses on how AI can integrate data from various transit systems, including video feeds, access controls, and communication networks, to create a comprehensive security infrastructure. These technologies enable capabilities for using behavioral recognition to identify potential threats, reducing/managing incidents, controlling unauthorized access, optimizing crowd management for events, and improving real-time passenger communication.

Ultimately, AI has the ability to deploy scalable advanced surveillance tactics to enhance transit security using ethical practices to monitor and detect threats from people or objects while improving the transit experience for everyone.
