How Advanced Data Analytics, Biometrics and Related Technologies will
Revolutionise Border Crossing

Professor James Ferryman, University of Reading

Thursday 28 Feb 2019 19.00 for 19.30

By 2030 the number of travellers at border points will double, and
there is no extra space at checkpoints. Speed of identity verification
there becomes crucial. Automated Border Control (ABC) eGates at
airports have enabled more rapid and accurate biometric verification
to be performed using passports but sometimes the queues exceed those
for manual controls.

The talk will propose a vision of the future of ABC for the next 5-10+
years whereby eGates are replaced with a biometrics on-the-move
no-gate system taking into account privacy and security issues. This
is being developed as part of the current EU project PROTECT. An
integral part of no-gate solutions is the concept of advance traveller
risk analysis, whereby border authorities are able to identify persons
of interest before their arrival at the border crossing point, based
on database checks and intelligence.

This will require new data analytic tools for border control officers
to support immigration decisions.
