Border Management Solution’s development time reduced by 50% for real-time screening and reporting, enhancing customer satisfaction.
Overview.
The world’s leading specialist in air transport communications and Information Technology (IT) was facing challenges in obtaining accurate data and tracking passengers traveling across countries via air. A key threat was that manual scanning, checking, and CCTV scanning were not enough to ensure the security of the borders from any suspicious traveler.
Our client wanted to enhance the efficiency of borders by implementing an advanced risk assessment system that can assist in the validation of travelers' documents and verify information against watch-list registries that can provide results for allowing/denying boarding for passengers in a smooth manner.
Solution.
Our solution includes applications in the border management domain used by Governments of various countries. The solution involves acquiring large volumes of travelers' data from airlines, acquiring risk assessment tools integrated into government databases, and providing comprehensive metrics on border operations.
Solution tenets
Travelers' data is pulled from PNR, APP, APIS, and other multiple sources in various formats. Advanced screening of data is done and is pushed through a data parsing system. This system applies business rules to data acquired for data normalization and correlation. This data is converted into desired formats per business rules for viewing and reporting.
The system identifies and validates travel documents from APP, PNR, VISA, and Biometrics and verifies travelers' information against watch-list registries.
The system ensures compliance with Immigration Policies and security directives by standardizing data, and pre-screening passengers' data before departure to identify suspects and lead to alert processing and risk scoring.
Risk scores and alerts create interventions for allowing/denying entry. Information about allowed passengers is also stored for reference and tracking.
Data Acquisition System for Advanced Risk Assessment System for border security is a basis for structured assessment of threats from air passengers crossing borders.
