Platform edge and track, enforced before someone steps over.
Governed visual intelligence for rail and transit networks: platform-edge and track-intrusion detection, level-crossing safety, crowd density, and trackside-worker protection, on the cameras your stations and depots already run, with data that never leaves your network.
In railways & public transit
What goes wrong today.
The platform edge is watched by nobody
Yellow-line crossings and track intrusion happen constantly. Staff learn about them from the driver’s emergency brake.
Level crossings generate risk you cannot see
Vehicles stopping on crossings and barrier violations are systemic, but untracked, so nothing changes.
Trackside workers depend on paper possession rules
Possession limits and PPE rules for maintenance crews are enforced by briefings, not by anything watching the track.
Detect · Step 1 of 4
What the cameras watch for.
Trackside and station cameras on one platform: sovereign or fully on-premises deployment for national networks.
Sealed evidence
Metrovale Central
Demo footage, annotated the way FloFrame does. Each card appears as its alert is raised.
Platform-edge & track intrusion
Instant alerts when people cross the yellow line or enter the track bed.
Level-crossing safety
Vehicles and pedestrians on crossings detected and trended at every barrier.
Crowd density & surge
Live platform and concourse occupancy with surge detection at peak times.
Trackside-worker protection
PPE verification and exclusion-zone enforcement during possessions and maintenance.
Depot & rolling-stock safety
Vehicle–person separation and movement discipline across depots and sidings.
Station security & evidence
Intrusion, vandalism, and incident records sealed for police and claims.
Rules
Rules you would run.
Written in plain words, run on site, checked by a vision model before anyone is alerted.
Platform edge
“Alert when anyone crosses the platform edge line outside boarding”
Then: STATION STAFF PAGED · CLIP SEALED ✓
Open in the Rule PlaygroundLevel crossings
“Flag vehicles stopped on the level crossing”
Then: SIGNALLER ALERTED · CLIP SEALED ✓
Open in the Rule PlaygroundPossession protection
“Only PPE-verified crews inside the possession limits”
Then: POSSESSION MANAGER PAGED · LOGGED

Measure · Step 2 of 4
Every alert becomes a number you manage.
What FloFusion measures for Railways & Public Transit, per zone, per site and over time.
Platform-edge dwell
Time people stand on the edge strip, highest as trains arrive.
Concourse density
People per zone against its limit, minute by minute.
Gate throughput
People through each gate line, in and out, by hour.
What a pilot sets out to move
- to detect track intrusion
- Seconds
- alerts to station staff and signallers
- fewer possession-zone violations
- 30–50%
- typical pilot target
- to sealed incident evidence
- Minutes
- for police, claims, and investigations
Pilot targets agreed with you up front, not past results.

EU AI Act
AI used for workplace monitoring and safety is high-risk: you must run risk management, keep event logs, maintain technical documentation, and guarantee human oversight and accuracy monitoring.
NIS2 Directive
Essential and important entities must secure their network and information systems (including OT and camera networks), with incident reporting duties.
UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018
Video of identifiable people is personal data: you need a lawful basis, transparency, data minimisation and retention limits, and a DPIA before systematic monitoring of staff.
ICO guidance on monitoring workers
Monitoring must be necessary, proportionate and open: tell workers what you monitor and why, consult them, choose the least intrusive means, and avoid covert monitoring.

What to change next.
The process map shows where crowds build and how people move against the flow.
Marshals on the platform at peak
Staff the edge strip in the minutes before trains, when dwell peaks.
Reverse a gate at the morning peak
Open a second inbound gate between 08:00 and 09:00, where wrong-way walking starts.
Examples of what a pilot’s process map points to.
Getting started
A pilot on the cameras you own.
Prove platform-edge, track-intrusion, and crowd-density detection at 2–3 stations or one depot, on your existing station CCTV, with evidence aligned to rail-safety reporting.
Scope
- Platform edges and track beds (intrusion and person-on-track detection)
- One level crossing (vehicle and pedestrian behavior at barriers)
- Concourses and platforms (crowd density and surge at peaks)
- Depot or trackside work zones (PPE and exclusion enforcement)
We configure
- Plain-English platform, crossing, and possession rules with timetable-aware schedules
- FloFrame on-prem inference inside your network: video never leaves it
- Escalation to station control, signalling, and security by severity
- FloFusion evidence records aligned to rail-safety and regulator reporting
You walk away with
- Faster time-to-awareness for track intrusion and platform-edge events
- Crowd-density baselines and surge alerts at pilot stations
- Sealed evidence for every safety and security exception in scope
Questions
Railways & Public Transit: common questions.
Can this work with the station and trackside cameras we already have?
Yes. Camnitive works with your existing RTSP or ONVIF station, platform and depot cameras. FloFrame processes video inside your network and only connects out.
Link to this questionHow fast are track-intrusion alerts?
Detection runs on site, so person-on-track and platform-edge alerts reach station control in seconds, with a frame attached so controllers can check before acting.
Link to this questionCan rules follow our timetable and possession schedules?
Yes. Rules take schedules and calendars: enforce track beds in service hours, relax them during authorised possessions, and change them in minutes.
Link to this questionHow does crowd management work on busy platforms?
Density rules run per platform and concourse zone, giving staff live occupancy and early warning. It is anonymous: no facial recognition.
Link to this questionWhat evidence do we get for rail-safety regulators and police?
Each event has its clip, rule and review, sealed on the device and verified on arrival. You can export it for investigations, regulator reports and police requests.
Link to this questionCan this protect trackside workers during maintenance?
Yes. PPE checks and exclusion zones run on depot and worksite cameras during possessions, and every exception is recorded with evidence.
