Objective
AutoBorder focuses on developing and implementing innovative solutions for border checks specifically designed for vehicles. The approach leverages cutting-edge technologies, including advanced biometrics and in-car sensors integrated with the car's Infotainment and Control Electronics (ICE) system, to streamline the border-crossing process. By utilizing Digital Travel Credentials (DTCs) and pre-registration systems, the project aims to enhance security while significantly reducing waiting times at land borders.
Beyond border checks, the technology enhances passenger security through identity monitoring, real-time alerts for unauthorized access, and predictive analytics for threat detection. This dual-purpose approach improves identity verification and passenger safety during travel, advancing security and connectivity across Europe.
Leading actors in several relevant fields actively participate in the project, including biometrics and security experts, car manufacturers and researchers.
The project builds on prior EU initiatives (e.g. SMILE, D4FLY, EINSTEIN) and, as a RIA project, targets a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 5–6 for most components, with some at TRL4. Validation and demonstration will occur in relevant environments, not connected to actual border systems. Solutions must comply with GDPR, the AI Act, EU travel regulations, and other legal and ethical standards. A dedicated legal/ethical partner will ensure compliance, while social aspects like acceptance and human rights will be addressed.
End-user involvement is critical, providing feedback to align solutions with practical needs and enabling pilot demonstrations and validations. AutoBorder involves several EU and non-EU end-users, and has foreseen pilot studies at 2 external EU BCPs (UK-France and Moldova - Romania)
