2.4 Public Travel Security (User Service*)
The Public Travel Security user service creates a secure environment for public transportation patrons, operators, and support staff. It provides systems that monitor the environment in transit facilities, transit stations, parking lots, bus stops and on-board transit vehicles and generates alarms (either automatically or manually) when necessary. The service also provides systems that monitor key infrastructure of transit (rail track, bridges, tunnels, bus guideways, etc.).
