Project Overview • Can be used by EU/EEA/CH citizens with ePassport • Traveler has to be older than 15 – (since Sep 2013)
• Biometric feature is FACE o System matches the face stored inside the chip against the face captured by ABC
camera

Project Overview – Key Findings • Mostly positive response from passengers • The traffic peak hours have to be supported by staff
assisting passengers • Some passengers are afraid to use the eGate – what a
pleasant surprise when it works
• Handling and correct use of the ePassport is the key point: o too many tries with the passport booklets o passport is removed too early o correct interpretation of the MRZ
10/24/2013 ICAO Ninth MRTD Symposium, 2013 14
Operational Support • Regular evaluation of process data
(monthly) • Continuous training of police staff • Periodic observation and analysis of
passenger behavior during the border control process
• Continuous training of assistants (police & airport staff) – during the rush and operation hours there is always someone who can support passengers in using the ABC system
10/24/2013 ICAO Ninth MRTD Symposium, 2013 15
Conclusion • The received results and experiences create success story • The excellent team work among all project partners
allowed us to implement the solution efficiently and fast o The system was installed within only five working days before the official start
• EasyGO has been awarded as IT Project of the year 2012 in the Czech Republic
• Team members: o CZECH BORDER POLICE – end-customer & operator o VITKOVICE IT SOLUTIONS a.s. – main contractor and system integrator o secunet Security Networks AG – provider of turn-key eGate
