Face2Fly - Biometric Passenger Journey

Description
Specifications
  1. WHAT IS?

The Face2Fly is a Reco’s solution for automated and seamless passenger flow management, from airport entry to boarding, using facial biometrics. A complete experimentation of the “free to move” process of the passenger at the airport is proposed through an “hand free boarding”, as an alternative to traditional and resource-intensive manual controls.

The Face2Fly solution provides the following operational workflows:

  • Enrollment via kiosk located on the “land side” of the Airport. The process consists in:
  1. Choice of language, reading of the information and acquisition of consent to data processing
  2. Reading of the identity document (recovery of the passenger’s personal data and photo from the chip) and of the boarding pass with verification (through a service displayed by the Central System) of its validity (verification of date, time slot, flight, presence in the PNL, etc. ).

iii. Face acquisition via camera and 1:1 comparison (biometric verification) with the image extracted from the chip of the electronic identity document

  1. If the outcome is positive, the “passenger – kiosk” interaction process ends. All data is sent to the Reco central system on the Airport’s server in encrypted form.
  • Access to the Security Lane via facepod that “captures” the face of the passenger, performs facial recognition, verifies boarding pass (location and airport station), traces the successful passage, notifies to the passenger on video and opens the gate doors automatically.
  • Control of Xray Security: verification of the validity of the boarding pass from the passenger’s face.
  • Boarding via Facepod equipped with 2 monitors, one for passenger identification (M1) and the other for feedback to internal staff (M2). The passenger arriving at the boarding gate, presents his face to the M1 for biometric identification. The system “identifies” the passenger using facial biometrics, recovers the information from his boarding pass, notifies the successful recognition, presents the passenger information on the operator’s monitor and, by interfacing with the CUPPS, notifies the DCS of successful boarding. The facepod can be installed on a automatic gate.
  • App Mobile: allows, in a simple and intuitive way, to combine a boarding pass with the passenger profile created at the airport using the identity document as a unique key.
