Brazilian payment solutions provider Billingpay has implemented automated face recognition for digital public transport ticketing using face recognition technology from Cognitec Systems.
Billingpay uses the technology in the transport app Jaé, which is used by more than four million users daily.
The process starts with the enrollment of facial images during the registration service. Users then use their face to log into the Jaé platform and access buses or trains without needing a ticket or identification. The images are also used to prevent revenue evasion in public transportation. Facial biometrics are matching the ticket holder to the correct ticket, preventing fraudulent use of subsidised tickets.
“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,” said Billingpay CCO Marcello Perrotta.
“This use case is a testament to the countless capabilities of face recognition technologies for modern identification services,” added Cognitec Managing Director, Alfredo Herrera.
