Paddington
This project is part of an on-going commitment by Great Western Railway to provide automatic ticket gates to facilitate revenue protection and improve facilities for its passengers at its principal railway stations.
CIS had two key objectives of this project; to provide a reference system design for the CCTV coverage of the ATGs to platforms 8&9, and a reference system design to provide CCTV, PAVA, CIS and Access Control to an accessible taxi rank waiting room at London Paddington Railway Station.

NR DOO Feasibility Study
Network Rail commissioned CIS to undertake a feasibility study to assess the renewal stratgey of Driver Only CCTV. The scope of the study was to assess the feasibility of alternative approaches to system renewals including: modifications to the NR standard for more efficient deployment and identifying changes that could be made to traditional DOO CCTV to reduce capital cost but maintain compliance.
