Lava-Density, Lanaccess' new rail-specific solution, allows you to better control space occupancy in the rail sector and take advantage of the benefits of digital transformation thanks to its state-of-the-art technology based on deep learning.

Railway passenger transportation continues to grow, which requires taking steps to avoid crowds that could lead to accidents, as explained by Lanaccess. “Operators need solutions with Artificial Intelligence (AI) features to calculate the volume of people in real time, and to automatically distribute passengers on the platform and in the cars”.

Information is a valuable tool for instant decision-making and for safety, but additionally, Lanaccess has the powerful Business Intelligence solution BI Xplorer, which allows metro and train operators to adjust the number of cars on certain days and times depending on the information provided by the images collected by the Lava-Density solution.

Lava-Density is an exclusive analytics tool that offers several benefits for the railway sector:

- Precise estimation of the occupation level. “Our exclusive analytics provides the exact number of people who are moving within the field of vision of the IP camera, regardless of whether it is indoor or outdoor. The reliability of the Lanaccess solution exceeds 90%”.

- Simplifies surveillance. “Depending on the space occupation, the solution classifies the scenario by “low, medium or high occupation density” and immediately sends a warning when there is an incident, to help the operator detect it and make decisions”.

- Generation of warnings. “The generation of warnings makes the system proactive, which means that it is not necessary to constantly be monitoring the cameras to detect critical situations; when there is a critical situation it sends an alarm and the pertinent decisions can then be taken. Lava-Density is integrated into the main ARCs on the market”.

Thanks to the exclusive features of the Lanaccess solution, professionals can activate surveillance on the problem area, evacuate it or restrict capacity to prevent casualties due to an uncontrolled crowd surge.

LAVA-DENSITY is one of the Deep Learning video analytics solutions comprised within the LAVA ANALYTICS family. The main advantages of the Lanaccess video analytics solutions are:

  • Reduction of false alarms by over 90%.
  • Integrated into the main ARCs on the market.
  • A comprehensive solution that includes both hardware and software.
  • Flexible and personalised software.
