Exploring The Next Frontier for Travel: Vision-Box Takes a Deep Dive Into the Challenges & Opportunities for EU Smart Borders in Our Recent White Paper
Digital transformation is fast becoming a top priority for airports and airlines as they prepare to return to normal business practices across the European Union.
As biometric technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and data security systems create new opportunities to enhance border controls and improve connectivity between member states, border control agencies and the EU Commission must carefully consider the movement of EU and non-EU travellers across air, land and sea.
While technology can increase efficiency, reliability and security for managing the flow of travellers, it is important for EU member states to consider the practical challenges of implementing new processes, developing innovative technologies and overcoming the complexity of integrating machine-operated systems into pre-existing national security measures.
The mandatory enforcement of the Schengen Entry/Exit System in 2022 is predicted to be the next frontier of border control as 26 European countries embrace state-of-the-art smart technologies and improved operational means to protect national borders.
EU Border Control: The Future of Travel With Smart Borders
Undoubtedly, there are challenges facing the travel sector involving the costs of modernising outdated infrastructure, communicating new pre-arrival protocols to travellers as well as potential resistance to changing processes that involve smart technologies.
Despite the challenges of implementing Europe-wide initiatives and standardising highly-technical processes across multiple stakeholders, the opportunity to build a connected and intelligent ‘new frontier’ to protect our borders is extremely powerful.
Improved authentication and data security using cutting-edge computer vision technology and AI-enabled software, having the ability to anticipate passenger movements prior to arrival at their departure point, and supporting the role of Border Control Officers with an automated border control ecosystem are all key opportunities.
Here at Vision-Box, we’re committed to providing out-of-the-box innovations to deliver seamless experiences for the connected traveller and guaranteeing reliability and security across our suite of technologies.
