Many agencies have provided guidelines and directives regarding hostile vehicle mitigation. We are now seeing a trend where these guidelines are being expanded to include the identification, verification and authorization of individuals as they enter a restricted area or access-controlled area within a vehicle. This is a unique challenge due to the different make, models and size of vehicles as well as the number of passengers in a vehicle as they approach a given controlled or restricted area. In this session, we will discuss the challenges associated with these types of deployments. We will also review examples of technologies that have been developed to meet the challenging conditions of capturing valid facial recognition through a moving vehicle at varying speeds with multiple occupants. In addition, conversations will include lessons gained from these types of deployments while ultimately providing agencies with advance notification of individuals that may be associated with a watchlist to enable proactive responses in real time while increasing the safety for both the public and employees.
