Face recognition technology is used in the transport industry in various ways. One common application is passenger identification and ticket sales. For example, a transport company may use facial recognition to identify a passenger when boarding a train or bus and then use this information to automatically confirm a ticket or fare. This can help simplify ticket sales and reduce the need for manual ticket checks.
Another use of facial recognition in transport is for security purposes, such as identifying known criminals or prohibiting entry into the transport system. However, the use of facial recognition technology for this purpose has given rise to controversy and debate over concerns about confidentiality and abuse.
Face recognition technology can also be used in transport for marketing and advertising purposes, for example, to target advertising to passengers depending on their age, gender and other demographic characteristics.
