Travel and Transportation

Biometrics have been used effectively in transportation applications for several years, deployed for employee physical access and piloted for frequent travelers. Programs such as INSPASS, which expedited passenger movement through customs by means of hand-scan, proved successful on a fairly limited scale. Similar deployments in Israel have also proven successful, as have a number of pilots using iris-scan technology in Europe.

However, the large-scale, transactional verification applications where biometrics are expected to be deployed over the next 12-24 months - border crossing, trusted traveler identification, and immigration - are much more complex and challenging than any biometric deployment to date.
