Security in Airports and Railways - A Survey of Transport Operators in Western Europe and the USA: 2008 Edition

SUMMARY

A new series of highly detailed reports that deliver key findings such as:

• The West European rail market for electronic security products was estimated to be worth $204.5 million in 2007.
• Pelco was estimated to be the largest supplier of video surveillance equipment to the US rail and airport markets.
• Shipments of network cameras to the West European rail market to exceed 400,000 by 2012.
• Credibility and having a working solution for the particular environment are the two major factors to increase a vendor's chance of selling product into a US rail operator.
• The integration of disparate security systems will be, without doubt, one of the biggest trends in airport security; in particular management and display of security information.
• High interest, but cautious approach to video content analysis.

The research can be purchased in two regional volumes, Europe and America.

Report Introduction

This report sets itself apart by providing a unique perspective on the security market from the viewpoint of security managers at some of Europe's and Americas leading airports and railways. Airports and railway operators are keen to challenge equipment manufacturers to provide solutions they are looking for. As the severity of security threats escalates, the need to respond rapidly and more effectively to more complicated and dangerous tactical situations is becoming more apparent. This report discusses the current and future demands of airport and rail operators and investigates the key issues that underpin the further development of these markets.

• An insight into the types of security systems most commonly used in a mass transit environment and an assessment of the specific technical requirements of airport and rail security managers.
• The impact of video content analysis on the airport and rail industry.
• An assessment of how quickly IP technology is being adopted for security applications by the mass transit sector.
• An understanding of the future requirements of rail and airport security managers, together with the requirements for integrated systems.
• Market share estimates for the leading suppliers of video surveillance and electronic security equipment to the rail and airport sector in Western Europe and the United States.
• Qualitative analysis accompanies the statistical data to highlight key growth areas and major trends impacting the rail and airport markets.
