Field Secure Area Sensor Monitoring Functional Area

Description

'Field Secure Area Sensor Monitoring' includes sensors that monitor conditions of secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards), transportation infrastructure (e.g. Bridges, tunnels, interchanges, and transit railways or guideways), and public areas (e.g., transit stops, transit stations, rest areas, park and ride lots, modal interchange facilities). A range of acoustic, environmental threat (e.g. Chemical agent, toxic industrial chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological sensors), infrastructure condition and integrity and motion and object sensors are included.

Functional Requirements

ID	Requirement
01	The field element shall include security sensors that monitor conditions of secure areas including facilities (e.g. transit yards) and transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guideways).
02	The field element sensor monitoring shall be remotely controlled by a center.
03	The field element shall provide equipment status and fault indication of security sensor equipment to a center.
04	The field element shall include environmental threat sensors (e.g. chemical agent, toxic industrial chemical, biological, explosives, and radiological).
05	The field element shall include infrastructure condition and integrity monitoring sensors.
06	The field element shall include motion and intrusion detection sensors.
07	The field element shall include object detection sensors (such as metal detectors).
08	The field element shall provide raw security sensor data.
09	The field element shall remotely process security sensor data and provide an indication of potential incidents or threats to a center.
10	The field element shall include security sensors that monitor conditions in traveler secure areas, which include transit stations, transit stops, rest areas, park and ride lots, and other fixed sites along travel routes (e.g., emergency pull–off areas and travel information centers).
11	The field element shall include security sensors that monitor conditions of secure areas including transportation infrastructure (e.g. bridges, tunnels, interchanges, roadway infrastructure, and transit railways or guideways).
