Airport-ID
System for immediately verifying an individual’s identity using fingerprint biometric technology and human face verification
Ringdale’s Airport-ID is a system designed to meet the evergrowing necessity for strict identification and security at modern airports, providing an effective method to register passengers and monitor their step-by-step progress through the airport and onto the flight.
Ringdale’s recognition technology identifies an individual based
upon the unique elements of each person’s fingerprint and facial characteristics, using cameras and readers connecting to a central database through a local area network.
As a passenger checks in, they are enrolled on the system (a
procedure that takes 30 seconds) and can then be
identified as they pass through the security gate (optional), and
again as they reach the boarding point for the flight. The camera
will identify the passenger as they approach, displaying their
details to the airline and security staff to ensure that the
individual that checked in is the one boarding the flight. As
further security or as an alternative, they can provide their fingerprint to provide a thorough identity check.
As the passenger passes through each stage, their progress is
logged by the central server, so at any time it can be quickly
established in which area of the airport they are located, and
the passenger cannot pass through the same area twice. At all
points in the process the system prevents someone else
representing themselves as the passenger who checked in.
Ringdale's Airport-ID, it comes with an enrollment camera and an enrollment fingerprint reader for the enrollment station and just a fingerprint reader for the Verification station. Airport-ID is currently the industry’s fastest way to enroll and identify a person’s data and visual appearance.
Applications where such technology will significantly enhance security and make the process more efficient are:
Airport Gate and Counter
Guarded Reception Areas
Prisons
Military Bases and Secure Installations
The information is held centrally so if the customer would show up at the wrong gate, immediate notification will show on the gate’s screen that the customer was registered for a different flight also the person’s face and details will appear on the screen making it no longer necessary to see the persons passport as a visual verification with an up-to-date picture can be made.
Once the customer is enrolled, a 30 second process, any trustworthy person can now share the visual information of the customers picture and verify that the person is the person that they say they are in less than 2 seconds, whilst getting all pertinent information on the screen to be ready to process the passenger.
