Agent Vi Resolves Safety and Security Challenges at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport, Wisconsin, USA

“Agent Vi helped us enhance our surveillance system with real-time event detection, enabling us to respond more quickly to incidents… We configured the analytics with some redundancy to minimize the possibility of a security breach in the sterile concourse.”

Director, Green Bay Austin Straubel Intl. Airport

Challenge

Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB) is a busy, international, two-runway facility in Wisconsin, USA, which faces a range of safety and security challenges. Of prime importance to GRB was safeguarding the smooth and uninterrupted flow of the exit lanes for passengers leaving the terminal, and keeping air carrier aprons and ramps clear of unauthorized pedestrians.

Solution

GRB upgraded its surveillance system to include savVi, Agent Vi’s on-premise video analytics platform, which monitors the exit lanes to detect individuals moving against the flow of traffic or entering through the concourse exit, sending an alert in real-time as an event occurs. This enables an instantaneous and appropriate response by security staff. savVi is also used to monitor personnel movement on the air carrier aprons and ramps.

Result

The real-time detections provided by Agent Vi have prevented serious situations occurring by enabling the security staff at GRB to act swiftly and effectively, by viewing the detection footage and investigating breaches as events develop. Without savVi real-time event detection capabilities, such security breaches could cause a complete airport shutdown.

Agent Vi Helps RTAF Detect and Alert to Persons in Aircraft-Only Zones

“We needed the highest performance real-time analytics solution due to the sensitive nature of the site. After thorough research and investigations, we chose Agent Vi’s real-time video analytics solution, recognizing its robust performance in difficult conditions.”

Director of Security Division, RTAF Directorate of Intelligence

Challenge

Don Muang Air Base, adjacent to Bangkok’s International Airport, is the Royal Thai Air Force’s (RTAF) main operating and command base. The RTAF sought a real-time video analytics solution to detect human movement on the landing strip while ignoring aircraft movement, and to detect stationary vehicles in the no-stopping zones around the airport’s perimeter fence.

Solution

Some 32 channels were enabled with Agent Vi’s real-time detection and alert capabilities, providing the RTAF with superior detection capabilities for the Don Muang Air Base. Automatic rules were enabled to detect and alert to unauthorized personnel entering and moving freely in restricted areas (landing strips) and to detect vehicles that stop in no-stopping zones near the base’s perimeter.

Result

Agent Vi’s analytics has greatly enhanced the level of security available at Don Muang Air Base. Rather than observing monitors and occasionally detecting suspicious incidents, the security staff focuses on responding to the security breaches following automatic detections and alerts. The automatic detections are made under challenging environmental conditions including lack of lighting, and significant distance between camera and detection area.

Agent Vi Boosts Airport Security for Spain’s Iberia Airlines

“Moving to an all IP-based solution required that we look for a highly-scalable video analytics offering that would allow us to deploy hundreds of cameras while eliminating the need for additional server hardware and keeping operational costs down. Agent Vi’s software allowed us to do that, and the analytics have performed extremely well despite the challenging outdoor environment near a busy airport.”

Security Manager, Iberia Airlines

Challenge

Spain’s largest airline, Iberia Airlines, has a 200,000 sq. meter facility at Madrid’s Barajas International Airport. In the wake of a terrorist attack at the airport, which killed 2 people and injured 26 others, Iberia Airlines sought to heighten security, improve safety in aircraft-only areas, and prevent theft in its facilities.

Solution

Agent Vi’s real-time video analytics solution was installed, and set up to detect the presence of unauthorized personnel or vehicles in secure zones such as the runways. It also detects people and/or vehicle intrusion into restricted zones, such as the hangars, warehouses, computer rooms, fuel storage depots and other buildings.

Result

Agent Vi’s real-time, automatic detections have resulted in more effective surveillance, managed centrally from the security team’s headquarters, without the need for regular site patrols. Agent Vi successfully generates alerts for targets moving inside user-defined areas, entering or exiting closed areas, and crossing virtual lines, without alerting to passing aircraft and trucks in the same areas.
