Challenges
Save time and effort for security checks on passengers and vehicles at UK borders.
Border Force carries out checks on every person that crosses the UK border. This can be resulting in long queues of passengers and vehicles awaiting clearance. Particular challenges are when clearing cars and coaches at ports, all passengers have to leave the vehicles to be checked.
Idea
Facial recognition technology on ticketing and checking in boarding passes.
Facial recognition technology combining with an automated workflow would give border force the earliest chance to receive identity of passengers. The solution will enable officers to decide the appropriate intervention activity to speed up the procedure whilst enhancing security at UK borders.
Output
