Subway to use facial recognition technology

The Beijing subway will use facial recognition technology to classify passengers to help guards take different security check measures, said Zhan Minghui, director of Beijing Rail Traffic Control Center, on Tuesday. To improve efficiency, Zhan said the subway needs to promote the use of multichannel security check machines and facial recognition technology. Through setting up standards, the facial recognition system will judge and classify passengers first into groups and inform guards to use appropriate measures, he added.
