Cognitec has provided facial recognition technology to Brazilian payment solutions provider, Billingpay.
The solutions will be utilised in Rio de Janeiro’s public transport system.
Cognitec & Billingpay
According to an article published by Cognitec, Billingpay has implemented automated face recognition to facilitate digital ticketing via the transport application, Jaé.
This will be used by more than four million users daily.
Approximately 11,000 capture devices are installed throughout the city’s transportation system.
The process is said to begin with the enrollment of facial images during the registration service, which are then used to prevent revenue evasion in public transportation.
Biometrics match the holder to the correct ticket, preventing fraudulent use of subsidised tickets.
“Modern and secure ticketing”
“The second largest city in Brazil now operates one of the most modern and secure ticketing systems in the world, with added high performance technology from Cognitec,” commented Marcello Perrotta, CCO, Billingpay.
“This use case is testament to the countless capabilities of face recognition technologies for modern identification services,” added Alfredo Herrera, Managing Director, Cognitec.
“We are excited to be a part of this innovative project and this successful international partnership with Billingpay!”
