Process Efficiency Traveler Identity for Airline Check-in and Bag Drop

Medium riskExact public inventory row

Description

These use cases facilitate identity verification leveraging TVS.

Detailed example

Leverages DHS facial matching technologies to provide a match or no match response.

AI / analytics pattern

Computer Vision: AI that processes and interprets visual data (e.g., images and videos).

Automation level / stage

c) Deployed – The use case is being actively authorized or utilized to support the functions or mission of an agency.

Expected benefit

The TVS Biometric matching service is a cloud-based facial biometric matching service that enables CBP, External Partners, and Other Government Agencies (OGA) to match a passenger’s identity against a trusted source, throughout the travel continuum which improves traveler facilitation and reduces manual identity verification.

Audit / financial statement impact

This is an option for travelers, not a requirement. If a traveler chooses to use it and the service cannot match a traveler, the traveler may continue check-in/bag drop via another means. CBP does not make any decision or action based on a no-match.
