Biometric systems

ABC Gates for Europe

ABC4EU

ABC4EU is a collaborative project funded by the EU 7th Framework Programme for Research (FP7). It proposes the study and implementation of an innovative system for the automated border crossing (ABC) of EU countries being in the Schengen area. In particular, frequent third country travellers will be considered, in order to allow for facilitated border crossings.
