FastPass - A HARMONIZED, MODULAR REFERENCE SYSTEM FOR ALL EUROPEAN AUTOMATED BORDER CROSSING POINTS

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under the grant agreement no 312583.

DEMO SITES

OBJECTIVES

• Improving the security, the throughput and the efficiency of the automated border crossing (ABC) process in Europe

• Developing and demonstrating a user friendly solution, being both a noteworthy support for the border guard in its daily tasks and an easy-to-use interface for the passenger

• Harmonisation and innovation: FastPass develops one reference architecture serving many processes at the three different types of borders and proposes:

o the first European solution for cars at land border with ABC; o the first solution for cruise ships; o a deep comparison of different approaches on an air border crossing point.

FastPass developed several scenarios for testing its solution at three different demo sites:

The demonstration at Moravita (Romania) will propose a process based on face recognition in infrared and visible light spectrum against e-passports and ID cards. The vehicle documents will be also taken into account.

At the port of Piraeus (Greece), a focus will be made on both face and iris recognition (in infrared and visible light spectrum) for all kind of passengers having an e-passport. At Vienna airport (Austria), various use-cases for the air border crossing process will be tested, including the classical two-step solution and segregated two step solution with the passport or the face as a token for European citizens and selected third country nationals. A last variant considers the use of the Registered Traveller Programme Database and the integration of iris recognition.
