Billingpay has implemented automated face recognition to facilitate digital ticketing via the transport application Jaé, to be used by more than four million users daily. Currently, about 11 thousand capture devices are installed throughout the city’s transportation system.

The process starts with the enrollment of facial images during the registration service, which are then used to prevent revenue evasion in public transportation. Facial biometrics are matching the ticket holder to the correct ticket, therefore preventing fraudulent use of subsidized tickets.

“The second largest city in Brazil now operates one of the most modern and secure ticketing systems in the world, with added high-performance technology from Cognitec!” comments Marcello Perrotta, CCO of Billingpay.

Public transport users can also present their face to log into the Jaé platform, and to access busses or trains without the need of a ticket or identification.

“This use case is testament to the countless capabilities of face recognition technologies for modern identification services,” says Alfredo Herrera, Cognitec’s Managing Director. “We are excited to be a part of this innovative project, and this successful international partnership with Billingpay!”
