AUTOMATED BORDER INSPECTION

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for controlling access to physical areas. One of the methods includes receiving first data, determining, using the first data, whether each of the passengers for a vehicle is authorized to cross a border, storing second data in a data set of pre-registered border crossers, receiving third data identifying the vehicle and indicating entry of the vehicle into a border crossing station, comparing the third data with data from the data set of pre-registered border crossers, determining that the third data and the second data both identify the vehicle, collecting, for each current passenger in the vehicle, fourth data representing the current passenger, determining whether the current passengers in the vehicle and the passengers identified in the second data are the same people, and providing instructions to guide the vehicle to a lane at the border crossing station.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving first data identifying a vehicle and one or more passengers for the vehicle that are requesting to cross a particular border; determining, using the first data identifying the passengers, whether each of the passengers for the vehicle is authorized to cross the particular border in response to receiving the first data; in response to determining whether each of the passengers for the vehicle is authorized to cross the particular border, storing second data in a data set of pre-registered border crossers that identifies the vehicle, each of the passengers, and whether each of the passengers is authorized to cross the particular border; receiving, from one or more first sensors, third data identifying the vehicle and indicating entry of the vehicle into a border crossing station that provides access to the particular border; in response to receiving the third data, comparing the third data identifying the vehicle with data from the data set of pre-registered border crossers; determining that the third data and the second data both identify the vehicle in response to comparing the third data identifying the vehicle with data from the data set of pre-registered border crossers; in response to determining that the third data and the second data both identify the vehicle, collecting, from one or more second sensors and for each of one or more current passengers in the vehicle, fourth data representing the current passenger; determining whether the current passengers in the vehicle and the passengers identified in the second data are the same people by comparing the fourth data to the second data in the data set of pre-registered border crossers; and providing instructions to guide the vehicle to a lane at the border crossing station in response to determining whether the current passengers in the vehicle and the passengers identified in the second data are the same people and using the second data that identifies whether each of the passengers is authorized to cross the particular border.
