Renfe installs AI-supported security infrastructure at 415 stations

Spanish state railway Renfe has completed the first phase of the Renfe Smart Security Station (RS3) project, which involved installing AI-powered video surveillance systems in 415 stations on the Cercanías suburban rail network. The RS3 project aims to digitalise and modernise the security systems, including intruder alarm systems, access controls and surveillance cameras, and has an investment volume of €25.8 million. In the second phase, starting in March 2025, the system will be expanded to a further 182 stations with an additional investment of €6.5 million. A total of 597 stations will then be equipped with the security technology. Renfe is working with companies such as Infinity Neural and Imotion Analytics to develop the solutions. The project is funded by the NextGenerationEU fund as part of the European recovery and resilience plan.
