Descrizione del progetto
Viaggi transfrontalieri sicuri e senza intoppi
Si prevede che nel prossimo decennio i viaggi a livello globale aumenteranno significativamente, raggiungendo gli 1,8 miliardi di arrivi internazionali all’anno entro il 2030. Tale situazione determinerà significative sfide da superare in ambito procedurale, di personale e di infrastrutture terrestri, marittime e di altro tipo presso i posti di controllo alle frontiere. Il progetto ODYSSEUS, finanziato dall’UE, si prefigge di sviluppare soluzioni digitali in grado di consentire ai cittadini di attraversare le frontiere in modo agevole e fluido. Diverse tecnologie, quali IA e strumenti di scansione avanzati (basati su raggi X o velivoli senza pilota), elimineranno inoltre gli ostacoli per le autorità di frontiera, consentendo loro di verificare a distanza le identità e di controllare veicoli, bagagli o carichi.
Obiettivo
The World Economic Forum suggests that transnational travel will increase by 50% over the next ten years, bringing the number of arrivals to 1.8bn by 2030 before the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the ever-increasing travel both on land and sea, delays and queues are often observed at cases where people are crossing border. These delays create huge frustration for the citizens and at the same time put extra burden to the border authorities’ staff. In Europe, airports have managed to improve to a certain extend the border crossing through the facial recognition booths for European citizens that own an RFID enabled passport, however there are still huge queues observed. For non-European citizens, the situation is even worse. The border control for land and sea are placing all the effort to the border authorities staff requiring from them to check the passports of the travellers as well as to control the luggage and baggage. Reasonably, even without huge number of travellers, large delays and queues are observed.
ODYSSEUS will enable citizens to seamlessly cross the border without stopping, while reducing the workload and improving productivity for Border Guard Authorities by providing highly detailed risk analysis. ODYSSEUS will leverage the power of digital technology offering to citizens the appropriate tools to cross land and sea borders in a secure and seamless manner without stopping while equipping the border authorities with novel tools for secure identity verification and unobtrusive vehicle/luggage/cargo checks, eliminating long delays at border areas. The proposed technologies will allow citizens to cross borders without any intervention by just leveraging their smartphones combined with strong and continuous identity verification. Remote vehicle/luggage scanning through X-Rays and UAVs, will allow authorities to remotely perform the appropriate controls.
