Renfe is committed to artificial intelligence for video surveillance of Cercanías stations

The RS3 project Renfe contemplates the replacement of more than 5.000 analog security cameras by IP equipment. They will also be installed 500 servers and 500 cybersecurity probes.

Renfe has launched a program to digitize security systems 483 stations Surroundings para recopilar, process thousands of data anonymously and automatically, and integrate them into a single dashboard. This is done through the system CCTV de cada estación. El objetivo es mejorar la seguridad y la experiencia del cliente, always from compliance with data protection regulations.

The project'Renfe Smart Security Station’ (RS3), que cuenta con un presupuesto de 31,7 million euros and which has been financed with funds from the European Union, It began at the end of last year and is scheduled to culminate in 2024.

During this time more than 5.000 analog security cameras for IP cameras, that will allow sharing the information collected through the CCTV system in an integrated video analytics system.

El proyecto RS3 prevé la instalación de 500 latest generation servers and renewal of operating systems, facilities and digital elements of Cercanías stations.

It also foresees the installation of approximately 500 cybersecurity probes for monitoring, control and analysis of them. The ultimate goal is to increase levels of digital security and cybersecurity.

The new system will allow the company's security to make better decisions, thanks to the integrated dashboard with real-time data.

Gracias a este sistema inteligente de seguridad se podrá conocer lo que está pasando en las estaciones de Renfe Cercanías en tiempo real. They can also be detected, de manera automatizada, safety-related incidents such as people and objects falling onto the tracks, incendios, vandalism or fraud in access to services.

El sistema RS3 recopila imágenes de las estaciones que se integran en un sistema de videoanalítica, donde se procesan y analizan con algoritmos de inteligencia artificial. Posteriormente, The treated images are deleted from the system in milliseconds.

To implement these solutions, Renfe has hired image analytics and intelligence technology companies., among which is Imotion Analytics, one of the accelerated start-ups with the innovation program TrenLab of the company.

CCTV and video analytics

In total, This project includes the installation of 6.451 devices for the implementation of a closed circuit CCTV and an intelligent video analytics solution. These devices will be accompanied by access control systems, electrical control equipment or communication elements for the connection of different IP equipment, among other facilities.

Durante 2021 The planning and execution of facilities has already begun in a total of 21 stations in the core of Madrid Cercanías; 22 stations in Rodalies Barcelona; 7 stations in the core of Bilbao Cercanías; 7 stations in the center of Valencia and 4 stations in Seville.

This year it is planned that this improvement will be implemented in 33 Madrid Cercanías core stations; 43 by Rodalíes Barcelona; 15 of the Bilbao Cercanías core and 6 of RAM (metric width); 14 from the center of San Sebastián; 10 of the Cercanías in Asturias and 9 of RAM; 12 RAM Santander stations; 17 from the center of Valencia; 9 from Seville; 11 from Malaga; 8 that of Murcia/Alicante and 7 stations of Cádiz
