Case study Amsterdam

July 27, 2023

Content of the case study

Selected locations for the PoC study

Rembrandtplein ranks among the busiest party destinations in Europe and features around 20 clubs, bars and cannabis and coffeeshops. The number of incidents involving street crime and anti-social behaviour increases drastically on Rembrandtplein at weekends.

Another location, Leidseplain is busy, but considered to be a safe place. Anyway, in February 2022, there was a shooting not far from this square, fortunately there were no injuries.

Nieuwmarkt has an above average violent crime rate and a high property crime rate. This bustling neighborhood, just east of the Red-Light district, is one of the oldest parts of Amsterdam. Since the 17th Century it’s been a popular spot for both trade and socializing.

Sound Event Detector (SED) installation targets

▶️ Conflict resolution in the localities.

▶️ Faster response of security forces in case of aggression at selected locations.

▶️ Analysis of the most common problem sites.

Amsterdam – Safety scores by neighbourhood

Problem solving

01 Procedure for solving the orderThe initial analysis and selection of problem locations for the POC installation was chosen by the client, thanks to which we learned the client’s requirements and were able to propose an ideal coverage solution.
02 What a concrete solutionSince the goal was primarily to recognize aggression in the streets and street fights, we chose the 3x Sound Event Detector option for each selected square.
03 Reasons for the chosen solutionThe customer wanted to be able to locate a specific event in the future with the resulting integration into VMS. Glass shatter detection had a lower prio than other classes of interest and the customer limit was 10 devices covering 3 squares.
04 Solving problemsUnfortunately, the customer chose the wrong form of informing the public due to which the devices had to be temporarily dismantled.

Design solutions in time

3 locations selected, equipped with 3×3 devices within the Proof of Concept (PoC).

Project suspended due to GDPR study.

GDPR study provided.

POC project restarted.

Positive evaluation of the project → 20 new locations have been selected to be equipped with detectors.

Planned installations.

Coverage study

Coverage design procedure

  • Chosen three main square locations, designed mainly for scream coverage.
  • The customer’s request was primarily the installation of a device for detecting aggression, scream and shooting.
  • A lower priority was given to the detection of glass-break situations.

Results of the case study

  • 3 selected sites equipped with 3 × 3 SED devices within the PoC at a cost of €11,000.
  • The PoC evaluation took three months. Implementation due to the official GDPR declaration took almost two years.
  • 20 new locations have been selected for the deployment of 60 detectors. The estimated cost of the contract is € 78 000.
  • In future installations, great care should be taken to ensure that when communicating the solution, the client consistently explains what the technology is and that it is fully GDPR compliant.

SED save the average response time of rescue services from 7 minutes to less than 5 seconds. Helps to safe more lives.

Our happy customers

“We have already tested the sensors on Americká Street and in real operation we have been convinced that they really work. Currently, they are able to detect gunshots, panic screams and glass breakage with a very high level of reliability – for example, when a shop window is broken by vandals or thieves. Plzeň received a grant of CZK 550,000 from the Ministry of the Interior for the project of deploying SED detectors for gunshots, panic cries and glass breakage. Security in Plzeň is one of my priorities and I believe that this is another step towards strengthening security in our city”

Mayor of the City of Pilsen

With JALUD Embedded, we implemented Sound Event Detectors as part of a proof of concept to extend security situational awareness for critical infrastructure and high-risk outpatient facilities of the University Hospital Pilsen. JALUD Embedded’s Sound Event Detectors proved themselves in testing with their unusual accuracy and ability to detect non-standard sounds, simplicity of end-to-end installation and the possibility of creating links to already established integrated security systems. With JALUD Embedded, we are planning a long-term cooperation, which has been perfect so far, and we believe that their technology will significantly expand the situational awareness that will make our hospital even safer!

Zdenek Prochazka

Head of Security

The detection system was tested after deployment by JALUD Embedded s.r.o. at several locations (with successful detection of actual shooting). This year we are implementing its extension to other locations. The system is integrated with the MKS into one surveillance system and the alarms have become an important source of information for the city/state police in ensuring security in the city environment. The undeniable advantage of this solution is the ability to identify and locate the incident site in real time in map documents and to send the nearest intervention unit to the scene of the incident, while monitoring the surroundings of the site with city cameras.

Ing. Luděk Šantora

CEO

We have been working with JALUD since November 2021, communication has been fluid, and they have always helped us with any questions we have had. We are working on multiple projects for 2022 that we hope will succeed in using this new technology in the Netherlands. We are very happy to be their Dutch partner.

Joost van der Velden

CEO

The JALUD Sound Event Detector is innovative and positively surprises Brazilian customers wherever it is installed. In Brazil, the main projects in which this product is being applied are related to public and private security, but it fits perfectly in the most diverse verticals of action. ABION is betting a lot on this product, and we are sure that we will bring more security to society by facilitating the response time of public security.

Fabio Faria

Product Manager

In my opinion the Sound Event Detector will save lives. It’s ability to detect the type of sounds you will hear in an emergency incident and quickly alert first responders so they can arrive on site and help the person/s is incredible. We’ve now gained another one of the critical “senses” (Hearing) to compliment CCTV (Eyes) and respond to dangerous events much more quickly and accurately. Well done Team JALUD!

Doug Sear

Director of Sales

We have been using JALUD’s glass-breaking detection solution for the past three years, and we couldn’t be happier. We integrated their software into our devices, and this process took place to the satisfaction of both parties. Therefore, we can not recommend them enough. Keep up the good work!
