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 ICAO Ninth MRTD Symposium, 2013 10/24/2013 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 ICAO Ninth MRTD Symposium, 2013 10/24/2013 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 o o CZECH BORDER POLICE end-customer & operator VITKOVICE IT SOLUTIONS a.s. main contractor and system integrator secunet Security Networks AG provider of turn-key egate ICAO Ninth MRTD Symposium, 2013 10/24/2013 16
