Project Description:
Boston’s Central Artery/Tunnel, owned by the Massachusetts Highway Department, is the largest and most complex highway project ever undertaken in an American city. The project transforms downtown Boston as the aging and overly congested elevated expressway is replaced with a new underground system and a third harbor tunnel.
Transdyn provided the DYNAC® managed Surveillance and Access Control/Intrusion Detection System (AC/IDS) for the tunnel. The system uses smart video analytics to provide facility monitoring and incident detection. Cameras are automatically controlled using pre-shots and tours to cover areas where incident and intrusion alarms are detected.
The AC/IDS furnished for the project is a network-wide system designed to monitor and control access to the entire facility and infrastructure complex including secure areas, buildings and vehicle parking facilities. The system also controls dispensing of vehicle fuel and detects unauthorized opening of building doors, windows, system control panels, etc., as well as unauthorized persons in the protected areas.
