At sixty of its stations, ScotRail is upgrading its security through the installation of CCTV cameras with intelligent video analytics.

These new CCTV cameras can analyse movements of people on the platform to determine unsafe situations. This will allow ScotRail’s CCTV monitoring team to alert staff and other relevant people where necessary.

The cameras will also help to manage crowds and determine better control measures for busier times.

ScotRail hopes that these new measures will help to identify those who are vulnerable as well as reducing fatalities and anti-social behaviour.

The camera upgrade is part of a £2 million investment on Scotlands Railway, which has previously seen 220 scrolling CCTV monitors to a 24 screen intelligent video wall in 2018.

Michael Arnott, ScotRail Customer Information Operations Manager, said:
“ScotRail is committed to ensuring Scotland’s Railway is a safe environment for our customers and our people.
“The new CCTV analytics system is designed to provide even more security and reassurance to anyone using the network.
“The introduction of this cutting-edge technology means that our customer service team will now be alerted when anyone enters into an unsafe or restricted area of the railway, allowing them to alert signallers to stop trains, if needed, which could potentially save a life.”
