Abstract:

This Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) project developed a real-time video surveillance technology for enhanced security on transit buses. The system uses digital cameras on buses, and adds a broad-bandwidth wireless network modem and software to expand the bandwidth for the wireless transmission of streaming digital video. The investigators found that the system design is feasible and economical.
