Transport system architecture for on board wireless secured A/V surveillance and sensing

This paper describes the system architecture set up by the consortium of the EUREKA CELTIC BOSS project for enhancing the security of passengers inside commuter trains. The functional approach, together with obtained technical improvements in the three domains of wireless communications, abnormal events detection and video compression and robustness enhancement are presented. The demonstrator set up in the project, which was installed in a real commuter train in commercial operation, is also reported as proof-of-concept.
