Land Border Identification & Verification

 

The automated border control system allows for the fast and efficient identification and verification of vehicles and pedestrians crossing land borders. Registered vehicles receive RFID-tags containing a chip with information about the holder, the registered drivers and the license plate. Upon arrival at the border, cameras capture the license plates while ultra high frequency devices read out the chip and match the data with the database. If more than one person is in the car or in case of falsification, the vehicle is directed towards second line inspection and checked manually.

Non-registered vehicles are checked randomly by inspectors using handheld devices ensuring the efficient and secure identification and verification of the documents and the traveler. For pedestrian travelers, ABC units are installed verifying the eID card or ePassport and matching the biometric data (face and fingerprint) with the registered data. In case of pre-registration the automated border control systems can also be used for customs clearance. Upon arrival at the border, the windshield sticker is read out and matched with the customs database verifying the vehicle and the registered goods.
