Design and implementation of the networked video surveillance and management platform in Suzhou subway line 1

Video surveillance systems play an important role in public safety monitoring and intelligent management of the subway system. In this paper, we take the video surveillance system in Suzhou Subway Line 1 as the application background and develop a comprehensive video surveillance and management platform. According to the hierarchical architecture of hardware devices in the video surveillance system, the design and implementation of this software platform in B/S framework are presented in detail. Our platform is composed of five primitive functional modules: video surveillance, device management, device alarm management, storage management, and user management. These modules not only cover the functions which are fundamental in conventional video surveillance platform, but also include some special services that are related to specific hardware devices. Through our video surveillance and management platform, various resources in the network can be uniformly integrated and controlled to realize the convenient management and flexible operation.
