Track Trespass Detection Using Existing CCTV
Who this is for
For rail, transit, and station operations teams evaluating track trespass alerts on current camera infrastructure.
The buyer question
Can existing CCTV see enough of the rail envelope to support trespass detection?
Map the rail envelope
The first step is drawing the actual danger zone in each camera view. The model should understand the trackbed, platform edge, tunnel mouth, or right-of-way boundary.
Route to the control-room workflow
A useful event should include camera, platform, track, zone, and urgency so operators can slow movement, dispatch staff, trigger PA, or escalate.
Separate nuisance events
Maintenance crews, wildlife, wind, debris, and passing trains should be reviewed separately from confirmed human occupancy.
How to use this with DHI
Use this page as a pre-pilot checklist. Pick one zone, one event type, one alert owner, and one review cadence. If the current cameras cannot support the workflow, fix the camera plan before expanding the deployment.
