Transforming Security: Trinity River Authority’s Critical Infrastructure Assessment

Who is Trinity River Authority?

Trinity River Authority of Texas covers 18,000 square miles and promotes conservation, reclamation, protection, and development of the natural resources of the river basin for the benefit of the public.

Key Points

TRA’s infrastructure is regulated by State and Federal Government, including Lake Livingston’s 455-mile shoreline, and many wastewater treatment facilities.

To improve security, TRA turned to EPIC iO for an autonomous high-def security surveillance system using artificial intelligence to reduce false alarms, and present everything through DeepInsights™ in a single pane of glass. Low-traffic sites were protected by autonomous solar-powered cellular cameras.

The Solution
  • Autonomous Surveillance Security

    Self-sufficient video surveillance using AI to identify real threats and track license plates

  • Ruggedized Edge Compute

    Universal IoT Gateway (UIG) delivers connectivity, AI, IoT, and video in a single pane of glass

  • Solar Cellular Cameras

    For cost-effective coverage in sparsely populated areas

  • Secure 4G/5G Network

    Cradlepoint routers for reliability and speed

Challenges
  • Protecting Critical Infrastructure

    The need to protect vast reservoirs, critical dams, and treatment facilities.

  • False Alarms

    Autonomous security systems must identify only valid events, not false alarms.

  • Vast Distances

    Cost-effectively securing remote sites, which may vary from low to high traffic.

Successful Outcomes
DAILY AVERAGE VEHICLES THAT APPEAR AT SOME REMOTE SITES, BUT STILL NEED RECORDING
FALSE ALARMS, INCLUDING AT WINDY REMOTE SITES
s
LICENSE PLATES READ DAILY AT SITES
Miles
PROTECTED SHORELINE AT ONE RESERVOIR

"We finally have eyes and ears covering our entire infrastructure and are far better prepared to offer a continuous supply of fresh and safe water to all our customers.”
