YOGYAKARTA PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) has new facilities to support rail transportation services for the community in the form of Face Recognition Boarding Gate. Then, what is Face Recognition Boarding really?

Quoted from the official website of PT KAI, Face Recognition Boarding Gate is a boarding service facility implemented by PT KAI which has a camera to identify and validate the identity of prospective passengers through the face, which is connected to data to tickets and the vaccination status of prospective passengers.

With the Face Recognition Boarding Gate, prospective passengers no longer need to show their identity card so they no longer need to print the boarding pass, only to the scanner engine and then direct their face to the camera. If the face matches the data and ticket for the purchase, the door will automatically open.

Please note, so that KAI train users can take advantage of the Face Recognition Boarding facility, they are required to register once.

For those of you who plan to register for the KAI Face Recognition Boarding, there are two ways that can be done, namely as follows.

The public can visit the registration counter at the station or Check In Counter (CIC). Just bring an identity card in the form of an e-KTP. Later the officer will collect data on the identity of the registrant. In addition, fingerprints will also be scanned and perform several other procedures.

The registration process cannot be represented by anyone. In addition, prospective registrants who do not have e-KTP such as children or damaged e-KTP can still register with the help of officers.

The registration process is only done once, so when passengers want to use Face Recognition Boarding on other trips there is no need to re-register, passengers can go directly to the Face Recognition Boarding gate which is available at several stations such as Bandung Station, Yogyakarta Station, Surabaya Gubeng Station, Malang Station, and Solo Balapan Station.

The public can also register for Face Recognition Boarding in direct vortex machines. The machine is available at the station with the following steps.

If the registration process is successful, passengers can immediately take advantage of the special face recognition boarding gate facility at the station. Take off the mask and glasses when pointing your face at the camera so that the system can read your face easily.

The facial reading process also only takes 1 second so that there are no queues, both in the Face Recognition Boarding machine and in line for the boarding process.

Regarding data security, the public does not need to worry because KAI has information security management. Security improvements are carried out regularly and carried out by companies.
