ISS (Intelligent Security Systems) has announced that it has been selected to take part in the large-scale pilot phase of the Transit Tech Lab (TTL).

The public-private partnership created by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the Partnership Fund for New York City will aim to accelerate innovation in public transportation.

Proof of concept

In 2024, ISS, along with 17 other companies, were chosen as finalists from 150 global applicants to take part in an eight-week proof-of-concept (PoC) for TTL to demonstrate how its respective technologies enhance public transportation systems and services.

During the PoC, ISS collaborated with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to showcase the capabilities of its under-vehicle inspection solution, the SecurOS UVSS (Under Vehicle Surveillance System).

UVSS

The UVSS is a compact and versatile under-vehicle surveillance system designed to detect explosives, illegal contraband and various other anomalies.

The UVSS can capture high-quality images, that supports vehicle speeds of up to 22 mph and integrates with license plate recognition (LPR) and access control systems to ensure security at critical facilities.

Its applications offer additional value in logistics, loss control and service lane record-keeping environments.

“Seamlessly integrate”

Aluisio Figueiredo, CEO, ISS commented: “As a company committed to innovation and excellence, we are honored to expand our involvement with the Transit Tech Lab and showcase how ISS’ ground breaking solutions can improve transportation, security and efficiency.

“This opportunity allows us to demonstrate the scalability of our technology and its ability to seamlessly integrate within critical transit systems to address emerging challenges,” Figueiredo concluded.

Key features

• Patented image dewarping technology for accurate visual analysis
• Advanced integration with license plate recognition (LPR) software (SecurOS Auto) and third-party systems
• Ease of deployment with no heavy construction requirements
