1002 National Express customers, drivers and staff are benefiting from latest generation CCTV technology, thanks to the operator’s partnership with smart transport systems provider 251 Parkeon, which has delivered over 1,000 systems across the West Midlands and Dundee, Scotland.

The most recent activity included the delivery of 176 systems through bus builders Alexander Dennis and 6616 Wrightbus, with 100 additional systems scheduled for 2016.

The on-board technology includes 12 camera inputs recording high quality images at high recording rates, augmented by audio capture in the driver cab area. This configuration helps National Express identify and investigate any on-vehicle incidents.

All Parkeon CCTV systems communicate with depot-based shared wireless systems. A key part of the project has been the development of a CCTV operator-user interface that enables the new technology to communicate with previous systems from other CCTV manufacturers via a single application. This ensures that video from every source can be requested, reviewed and prepared as evidence packages through a common process.
