SAN DIEGO, Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic
Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE:CUB), today announced that Niosha
Kayhani, research and development engineer at the Cubic
Innovation Centre in London, will
present on the company's gateless gateline prototype system,
including the use of biometric technology for fare validation, at
the 23rd International Conference on Urban
Transportation and the Environment in Rome, Italy, from September 5–7. Attracting a
wide international audience of delegates, the conference covers a
variety of topics that highlight the need to establish integrated
strategies for the complex interaction of urban transport systems
and city environments.
The gateless gateline proof of concept underway at CTS
integrates future ticketing technologies, such as palm vein
scanning and facial recognition, to support a doubled rate of
passenger throughput. Partially funded by a grant from the
U.K.'s Railway Standards and Safety Board, the fast-track entry
system is designed to meet a projected doubling in the number of
passenger rail journeys over the next 30 years.
"The ability to scale biometric technology in mass transit is a
key element in enabling a seamless experience in fare vending,
validation and revenue collection," said Kayhani. "It allows our
customers to provide their riders with the option to register with
the system and provide tailored and improved services for
passengers, while collecting advanced data to prevent revenue loss
through fare evasion."
Kayhani will present his paper entitled, "Scalable Biometric
Travel Token without Barriers to Access" on:
- Tuesday, Sept. 5, 4:50 p.m. (local time); University of
Rome, "La Sapienza," Via
Eudossiana, Rome, Italy.
Kayhani's paper will also be published in an upcoming issue of
International Journal of Transport Development and
Integration. Follow Cubic Transportation Systems at @CubicTS or
