Regional Transportation Commission of Southern
Nevada Bolsters Security Measures with Proactive AI-Based Gun
Detection and Intelligent Situational Awareness Solution
PHILADELPHIA, June 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeroEyes, the creators of
the only AI-based gun detection video analytics platform that holds
the US Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation,
announced today it has been chosen by the Regional Transportation
Commission of Southern Nevada
(RTC) for wide-scale implementation. This marks the first transit
agency in the United States to
fully deploy weapons detection analytics, with RTC adding ZeroEyes
to its state-of-the-art network to protect residents and visitors
against gun-related violence.
Founded in 1965, RTC is a regional entity that oversees public
transportation, traffic management, roadway design, construction
funding, transportation and regional planning efforts for the
greater Las Vegas metropolitan
area. Its transit fleet consists of 39 routes served by more than
400 vehicles and carries more than 50 million riders per year.
United Safety & Survivability Group (United Safety), a mainstay
in the transit industry and ZeroEyes' exclusive transit reseller,
worked to facilitate the deployment of the company's gun detection
and intelligent situational awareness software across RTC's cameras
for a 1-year deployment contract.
"RTC prides itself on its ability to identify transportation
challenges and implement solutions," said MJ Maynard, CEO of
the RTC. "Tens of thousands of people depend on our transit system
every day, and we continually look for ways to improve their safety
and security."
ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness
software layers onto existing digital security cameras. If a gun is
identified, images are instantly shared with the ZeroEyes
Operations Center (ZOC), the industry's only U.S.-based,
fully in-house operation center, which is staffed 24/7/365 by
specially trained military and law enforcement veterans. If these
experts determine that the threat is valid, they dispatch alerts
and actionable intelligence — including visual description, gun
type, and last known location — to local law enforcement and RTC
staff as quickly as 3 to 5 seconds from detection.
"The safety of operators and passengers is central to our
mission at United Safety," stated Joseph
Mirabile, CEO of United Safety. "We are thrilled that RTC, a
longstanding partner benefiting from our diverse safety products,
acknowledges the significant impact ZeroEyes can bring to its
transit system."
"RTC has set a new standard in security by becoming the nation's
first transit agency to execute wide-scale deployment of weapons
detection analytics to protect its citizens," said Mike Lahiff, CEO of ZeroEyes. "ZeroEyes looks
forward to working alongside RTC and continuing its partnership
with USSC to enhance public safety."
