Graffiti ‘artists’ trespassing on Metro de Madrid sites is a major challenge. Tunnels are outdoors and badly lit, making transport networks more vulnerable. These graffiti ‘artists’ and other trespassers cause damage to property, spraying graffiti on carriages, stealing property and destroying other equipment. This was proving expensive for the company and was a vulnerable point in the Security Plan. Domingo Gómez Alonso has been Metro de Madrid’s security chief for 42 years. He explains the value of a video analytics system that detects intruders around tunnels quickly. This value prompted Metro de Madrid to invest in DFUSION as an effective response to its security needs.
“We are quick to adopt new technologies and products. We like innovating and pilot projects, testing and pushing them to the limit”, says Domingo Gómez. “DAVANTIS committed to finding the best, most appropriate solutions to our problems”. That’s why we joined forces to create a demo. To do this, we connected artificial intelligence-based DFUSION video analytics equipment to thermal and traditional CCTV cameras. This efficient video analytics system detects intruders in unauthorised areas quickly, including graffiti ‘artists’ who vandalise trains and private property.
