This research project aims to solve main EU public transport common security threats and challenges through the development of prototypes validated in operational environment.
Approach & Solution
Approach
The terrorist attacks that have occurred in recent years in Europe have often had urban public transport as the first target to hit a large number of civilians. Based on the outcomes of its predecessor PREVENENT, the PREVENT PCP project consolidates commonly agreed security scenarios through a phased Pre-Commercial Procurement composed of solution design, prototype development, and validation in operational environment.
The challenge is to propose innovative solutions to solve the EU common security threat of Unattended Items and bring them to market readiness level. PREVENT PCP involves 13 public buyers coming from 6 different EU countries and will validate 2 different prototypes in 4 pilots: France, Spain, Portugal and Greece.
