Imagine being able to set up a high-tech security checkpoint anywhere, as quickly as popping up a tent, but with the power of a permanent airport terminal. It uses digital fingerprints and smart data sharing to spot risks without slowing down the flow of people. It even gives officers augmented reality glasses to help them see and manage the crowd better.
Border authorities struggle with rigid, permanent checkpoints that cannot adapt to changing threats or traffic volumes. This leads to inefficiency, security gaps in smuggling, and poor passenger experiences.
A toolkit of border-checking solutions including portable biometric devices, blockchain-based data exchange, and AR-powered interfaces for personnel.
If you are a government agency dealing with sudden migration surges or smuggling threats — this project developed a toolkit for ad-hoc Border Check Points that allows for fast, cost-effective deployment of security zones.
If you are a port operator dealing with slow embarkation and disembarkation checks — this project developed portable biometric checks and real-time cross-referencing that speeds up person verification.
If you are a rail operator dealing with the difficulty of checking passengers on moving trains — this project developed mobile applications and predictive risk assessment for vehicles and people to improve security.
Based on available project data, the specific commercial price is not listed, although the EU provided a contribution of EUR 3,974,400 for development.
Yes, the project is designed for real operational environments across road, rail, and port borders using three state-of-the-art trial facilities.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project involves 12 partners including 5 SMEs and 6 industry players.
The system uses blockchain technology for secure, private, and traceable exchange of sensitive personal data to protect fundamental rights.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2025-08-31.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 50% industry ratio (6 companies), including 5 SMEs. This suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than pure academic research, as there are zero universities involved and only 2 research organizations.
