February 25, 2021 it became known about the purchase of digital displays equipped with video surveillance cameras for the Moscow Metro.
According to Kommersant, with reference to the tender materials, each of the video cameras should support shooting with Full HD resolution and have automatic focus, remote focal length adjustment, "face detection" modules, counting people and recognizing their accumulation. In addition, it is assumed that each device will have a module "determining the behavior of objects (line crossing, area control, idle movement detection, crowds of people, rapid movement detection)," the technical assignment for the purchase says.
All calculations will not occur in the data center, but directly in cameras that require 2 GB of RAM and a 4 GB hard drive.
According to information published on the public procurement portal, the Moscow authorities plan to spend more than 932 million rubles on the installation of 316 digital displays of various types at 85 Moscow metro stations. Applications for participation in the auction will be accepted until March 4, 2021, electronic bidding is scheduled for March 10.
According to experts interviewed by the newspaper, the new multimedia system ordered by the Moscow Metro is intended primarily for fixing and analyzing people's behavior. It can also be used to collect information about passengers and provide it to advertising agencies for marketing purposes, said the head of the Roskomsvoboda project, Sarkisa Darbinyan.
The State Unitary Enterprise "Moscow Metro" assured that the monitors are not designed to recognize the faces of citizens and search for specific people. Screens will be used to inform in emergency situations, to notify about changes in the operation of transport, about new services, as well as to demonstrate reference and commercial information.[1]
