RecFaces, a global provider of ready-made biometric software solutions, announced the online expert panel ‘All Aboard Securely: Facial Biometrics for Asian Railway & Metro,’ which takes place on September, 19 at 2 PM (GMT+7). The event brings together leading voices from the transport, security, and advanced tech industries to explore how facial biometric technologies support the rapid development of railway and metro systems across Southeast and South Asia.
Business Development Director for
the APAC region at RecFaces
With Asia’s high-speed rail network expected to grow by over 28,000 kilometers in the next decade, the opportunity to embed biometric solutions from the very scratch is unprecedented. This is the moment to ensure safety and efficiency evolve alongside infrastructure
From 2020 to 2030, Asia’s highspeed rail network is expected to expand by 28,000 kilometers to reach 70,000 kilometers in total, while metro projects are set to add about 158,000 kilometers across the region, with passenger volumes rising as well. As networks become more complex, operators face growing demands for security and operational efficiency. In this context, facial biometrics emerge as a powerful technology to support the sector’s growth by strengthening safety, ensuring operational resilience, and enabling seamless passenger identification.
