Smart & Safe Cities
A ground-breaking collaboration between Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and Commend International is set to revolutionize safety measures in cities. By integrating advanced noise level measurement technology, cities can now quickly recognize and respond to potential threats to ensure rapid assistance in critical situations. Traditional security measures often rely solely on video surveillance, resulting in both privacy concerns and limited situational awareness. Commend has recognized this gap and partnered with Salzburg University of Applied Sciences to develop a new approach. As part of this partnership, sophisticated systems for measuring noise levels will be strategically installed in urban areas. These systems can distinguish between normal urban noise and unusual disturbances such as traffic accidents or unexpected social unrest. If anomalies are detected, the system displays the location at the control center and triggers an alarm . This allows security forces to selectively activate video surveillance when necessary to gain real-time situational awareness without constantly violating citizens' privacy. The collaboration goes beyond technological innovation and promotes valuable hands-on experience for students at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. By participating in innovative projects like this, students gain first-hand insights into product development and new technologies, while Commend benefits from new perspectives and the recruitment of new talent. This ground-breaking solution will be presented at international trade fairs focusing on urban/transport planning and smart cities to demonstrate its potential for improving safety and quality of life in cities worldwide . With this innovative approach, cities will not only be able to see, but also literally hear the difference in urban safety measures.

London Stansted Airport | Airport Assistance System
Success Story: Emergency call and info points London Stansted Airport Overview Challenge Solution Technical data Result Free download Challenge One of the primary benefits of emergency call points and info points is their ability to enable quick and seamless communication when issues arise. Whether it’s a malfunctioning barrier, confusion over payment systems, or a vehicle breakdown, immediate access to assistance can prevent minor issues from escalating into larger problems that might cause traffic congestion or delays. In emergency situations, these points become even more critical. They serve as lifelines for individuals needing urgent assistance - whether due to medical emergencies, security threats, or accidents within the car park. The integration of audio communication with CCTV gives operators a fuller understanding of the situation, enabling a quicker and more accurate response. Hearing the tone of voice or distress in a caller’s voice can often provide context that video alone cannot, giving “life” to the visual feed and helping operators make more informed decisions. With thousands of passengers using these facilities daily, often under tight schedules or heightened stress, any delay or confusion can quickly cascade into operational issues. That’s why London Stansted wanted a bespoke Help Point unit that would be highly visible, easy to use, and provide consistent service at all times. Another significant challenge is maintaining rapid response times across a large and often sprawling car park estate. Unlike terminals, car parks can present logistical barriers to quickly reaching a customer in need, especially during peak periods or adverse weather conditions. At Commend, our devices provide crystal-clear communication, allowing the operators to then supply swift on-the-ground support when incidents occur. In short, our devices needed to offer vital support within London Stansted’s car parks, and their effectiveness depended on strategic implementation, reliable maintenance, and a customer-focused approach that met the demand of a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. Customer Information London Stansted Airport, 40 miles from Central London, serves 30M+ passengers yearly with flights to 190+ destinations. It’s a major UK hub with modern facilities, parking options, and a focus on safety, efficiency, and innovation. More info Solution Emergency call points and information points are increasingly becoming essential infrastructure within modern airport car parks, and London Stansted is no exception. To meet the high expectations of today’s passengers while ensuring operational resilience, London Stansted implemented Commend’s advanced emergency call point solutions across their car parking facilities. At Commend, our emergency call points offer high-quality, hands-free audio communication, combined with seamless CCTV integration, creating an immediate and reliable link between car park users and operational control rooms. In day-to-day operations, these systems allow staff to manage queries remotely, provide real-time directions, assist with payment issues, and deliver customer support - all without needing to deploy personnel physically across the expansive car park spaces. This significantly enhances operational efficiency while ensuring passengers receive the support they need quickly and conveniently. In addition to improving everyday service delivery, Commend emergency call points serve a vital role in strengthening car park security. Their clear, prominent presence acts as a strong visual deterrent to anti-social behaviour and criminal activity. Through integrated audio-video communication, security operators can swiftly assess situations, intervene where necessary, and maintain a visible and proactive presence, contributing to a safer environment for passengers and staff alike. Technical data Technical data WS301 Y-UK-SP101 Result The presence of emergency call points and info points can significantly improve the overall experience for passengers and staff while enhancing safety, operational efficiency, and incident management. Real-time communication helps ensure that traffic keeps flowing smoothly, reducing unnecessary stress for both passengers and staff. This not only saves time but also allows staff to be allocated more effectively, focusing on priority areas without sacrificing customer service. The knowledge that assistance is only a button press away adds a layer of reassurance for users and can improve the overall perception of safety in the facility. In conclusion, our emergency call points and info points are valuable tools that bring significant advantages to car park environments. From avoiding traffic jams and easing stress to managing emergencies and streamlining operations, these systems play a vital role in creating a safer, more efficient, and user-friendly space for everyone. Customer Voice Spokesperson London Stansted Airport We’re delighted with the solution delivered by Commend. It’s clear to see the positive impact this will have, not only on the experience of our passengers but also on the day-to-day operations of our teams. We appreciate the professionalism and support from Commend throughout the entire process and look forward to building on this partnership in the future.
