Transportation Hubs

Due to high footfall and risk exposure, transport hubs such as airports and train stations will fall under the advanced tier. Operators must ensure rapid mass communication and robust evacuation strategies are in place. 

These sites are complex, multi-zonal, and constantly occupied. Systems must deliver accurate, localised messages without disrupting unrelated areas. 

Linked digital signage, speakers, and mobile alerts provide instant communication across platforms, concourses, and waiting areas. Automation ensures consistent, verified instructions across the entire transportation hub and can help people evacuate the premesis as safely as possible in the event of a terror related incident.

Given their public visibility and passenger volume, transport hubs are priority sites for compliance. Implementing systems now ensures operational continuity and public reassurance.  Regular, coordinated drills involving all departments, from transport police to customer service, ensure the technology and human response work seamlessly together to maximise readiness for a major incident.

Non-compliance poses serious legal, financial, and reputational risks for transport operators, with fines up to £18 million or 5% of worldwide revenue for advanced tier premises.  Beyond legal implications, the reputational damage from an unprepared response to a security incident can erode public trust and disrupt services for extended periods. Proactive compliance not only protects lives but also ensures operational resilience and public confidence in the transport network.
