The British Transport Police (BTP) can use on-board technology to directly view the Forward-Facing CCTV (FFCCTV) for fast incident management.

Upon completion of the contract, around 95% of the current ScotRail fleet will be linked to the Journeo Portal.

The service will offer access to BTP and Network Rail, as well as the operator, to access the FFCCTV images remotely using advanced cyber security techniques with GPS coordinates for location accuracy.

Scope of the contract also includes the delivery of a new software application within the Journeo Portal called Track Incursion Monitoring (TIM).

TIM will help scan and identify objects in front and around the kinematic envelope of the train.

Journeo CEO Russ Singleton said: “We are delighted to be providing Network Rail, ScotRail and British Transport Police with a fleet-wide deployment of our high security safety analytics software and data management applications within the SaaS based Journeo Portal. 

“Developing and licencing software is a strategic objective of Journeo which is complementary to the historic hardware-based installations undertaken.”
