March Networks® and VIVOTEK are set to present their integrated approach to smart transit security during the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) TRANSform Conference & EXPO 2026, scheduled for October 5-7 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The companies aim to demonstrate how transit agencies can effectively combine video, artificial intelligence (AI), and operational data to enhance security across buses, shuttles, rail, stations, and depots.
The event will feature “Connected Intelligence: On the Move,” showcasing technologies like Attribute Search for rapid investigations, AI-equipped cameras for monitoring driver attention and fatigue, and Sleep Mode for capturing incidents with parked vehicles. These technologies emphasize the combined strengths of March Networks in mobile recording and video management with VIVOTEK’s specialization in AI-powered IP cameras designed for demanding transit scenarios.
Enhancing Investigation Speed and Efficiency
Practical solutions for pressing transit issues will be highlighted, including passenger safety, operator behavior, and fleet operations. Attribute Search expedites the investigation process by allowing quick video searches using specific characteristics such as clothing color or vehicle type, significantly reducing the need for manual footage review. This capability helps agencies quickly identify individuals or vehicles connected to incidents.

The portfolio extends to various functionalities including driver fatigue detection, passenger counting, and vehicle occupancy analysis. Integration with GPS and telematics provides enhanced context for incident assessments, helping investigators understand vehicle movements and incidents more thoroughly. March Networks is already a strategic partner for several expansive North American public transit systems, such as the Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) in Albany, New York.
Comprehensive Transit Solutions
VIVOTEK complements this approach by deploying over 100,000 IP cameras yearly for diverse transportation applications, including deployments like Lillestrøm Bus Terminal in Norway and Bangkok’s MRT Red Line. Together, the combined portfolios offer a broad spectrum of solutions for both onboard and fixed environments.
