Description

The invention relates to an automatic pass-through module (APM) with a walk-through vestibule gateway, and the APM is an automatic passport control booth designed for the passenger to pass through the passport control procedure at checkpoints across the state border. The TMA output is closed by the exit door that opens upon the signal from the control system, which automatically checks and analyzes special situations recorded in the passenger profile throughout the life cycle of passing through the TMA, including: mismatch of optical information in the passport with the data in the RFID chip, false passport , the boarding pass data does not match the passport data, the registration data for the flight does not match the passport data, several registrations for the flight, fingerprint reading error, fingerprint mismatch tsa in the passport with a biometric fingerprint, an error in obtaining a biometric photo, a mismatch of the photo in the passport with a biometric photo, the passenger is in the lists of operational records, etc. The operation of the TMA is carried out under the remote control and management of an authorized employee of the checkpoint (hereinafter referred to as the TMA operator or operator).

Access control can be used in a variety of institutions, for example, at the entrance to certain buildings, at border crossings, at airports and in other public and private or commercial and industrial institutions for security reasons, should help to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the appropriate territory or building. In the simplest case, it consists of a door that opens and releases the passage only after a person has registered a license in the control machine, for example, a driver’s license or can be identified by a reader on the basis of an identity document or a passport.

The prior art knows technical solution DE 102004048403 A1, 04/06/2006 which discloses a gateway-type checkpoint that has a document reader, a biometric unit for detecting biometric characteristics and a central control unit for starting, so that immediately after recording certain documents, such as certificates An identity or passport using a document reader and / or biometric functions, such as fingerprints, is allowed.

The disadvantage of this solution is the lack of passenger control regarding work with the boarding pass, including: the passenger’s flight is on the schedule, the passenger’s flight is international, (a lot of passengers from domestic flights try to pass border control), the passenger is not registered for 2 or more flights, etc. d.

The objective of the claimed solution is to create an automatic pass-through module (APM) of an automated passport control system (ASPK), which provides:

The design and operation of the APM. The design of the TMA is modular in design and enables deployment at various checkpoints. TMA must allow you to create lines from TMA groups in unlimited quantities. The cases of the APM racks are protected against opening and penetration of foreign objects. The fact of opening the case is controlled by sensors. Each of the racks has air filters. The APM construct supports an unlimited number of options: from the minimum set for one pass, to the extended version for an unlimited number of passes.

The kit can be formed according to the following principles:

- the composition of the minimum version (one APM) must have a left stand and a main right stand;

- the composition of the extended version of the execution should include a left pillar, several main central pillars and a main right pillar.

- the left rack includes an automation mechanism for a set of left swing doors for entry and exit, as well as sensors for monitoring passenger movement;

- the main central rack includes automation mechanisms for a set of left and a set of right swing doors for entry and exit, an automation control controller, a calculator, biometric equipment, video panels and cameras, network equipment, an energy consumption system, and passenger movement control sensors;

- the main right strut includes an automation mechanism for a set of right swing doors for entry and exit, an automation control controller, a computer, biometric equipment, video panels and cameras, network equipment, an energy consumption system, and passenger movement control sensors.

The number of modules, racks and the composition of the equipment to be placed can be selected based on the scope, intensity and purpose of the TMA.

The APM control system is based on the APM Management software package (hereinafter referred to as the software package), which is a single platform for the APM software components and interacting external information systems deployed at the checkpoint. The software package ensures the application of common business processes, rules and the implementation of technology for persons to pass through automatic passport control, as well as protection against unauthorized access and ensuring the availability and integrity of information. The software package consists of the following functional blocks:

- APS general control unit, built on the basis of a high-level control program;

- automation control unit, built on the basis of a high-level automation control driver and automation control software, deployed on the basis of an industrial controller;

- a unit for working with LDPE and a passenger boarding pass, built on the basis of middleware (wrapper) and a package of software components for controlling the process of scanning a document, receiving and analyzing data received from a passenger document;

- a fingerprint verification unit for a passenger built on the basis of middleware (wrapper) and a software package for controlling the process of acquiring passenger finger images and comparing fingerprint images with a reference from a passenger document;

- passenger face verification unit, built on the basis of middleware (wrapper) and a package of software components for controlling the camera positioning process, photographing the face and comparing the received face images with the reference from the passenger document;

- a block of work with the APM operator, built on the basis of a web server for organizing the operator workstation.

The APM general control function block covers the tasks of implementing the passenger passage algorithm and provides information interaction with external information systems at the checkpoint to verify the presence of a passenger in checklists, in lists of lost documents and limits, as well as in flight lists. The automatic control function block covers the tasks of controlling the passenger’s presence in front of the cabin, controlling the passage of the passenger through the cabin, controlling the operation of the mechanisms of the entrance and exit doors of the APM and controlling the movement of the verification chamber to position it in the passenger’s face. The functional unit for working with passenger documents (LDPE and boarding pass) covers the following processes:

- scanning of passenger LDPE and obtaining information from a machine readable zone (MRZ), a visual inspection zone (VIZ) and an RFID segment. Document reader software includes a manufacturer's library, which has customizable mechanisms for automatic document authentication;

- Scanning a boarding pass on the same document reader and receiving information to verify passenger registration for the flight.

The fingerprint verification function block covers the following processes:

- if the owner’s fingerprints are present in the passenger RFID segment in the DG3 zone in the RFID segment, the system reads the passenger’s fingerprints from the DDP3 zone and compares it with the passenger’s fingerprints obtained during scanning;

- if there are no fingerprints of the owner in the passenger RFID segment in the DG3 zone in the RFID segment, the passenger is invited to undergo a fingerprint scan with a mark in the intersection profile indicating the absence of fingerprints in the LDPE, after which the passenger must be allowed to continue to the APM.

The functional block of passenger verification by face covers the following processes:

- search for the passenger’s face inside the APM gateway, while the camera of the system is positioned so as to obtain the best view of the passenger’s face, in accordance with the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO);

- photographing the face of the passenger;

- Comparison of the received photograph with the image of the passenger’s face, from the DG2 zone of the passenger high-pass passenger transit vehicle

The control program takes the decision to pass the passenger on the basis of the results of special situations recorded during the operation of the functional blocks. The functional block of work with the APM operator provides operator access, in accordance with the authority to the web page with a form that provides control of the APM, and access is carried out using a single authorization procedure.

The software package ensures the implementation of common business processes for all passengers, and also has the ability to modify them. The software package provides the storage of results in the repository of the interacting external information system of the checkpoint. The interaction of the functional blocks of the software complex as part of the execution of business processes is provided by the management program. The interaction of the software complex with external systems of the checkpoint, as part of the execution of business processes, is provided by the management program. The software package provides guaranteed delivery and placement of data from the components of the software package to the interacting information system of the checkpoint.

The architecture of the APM software package covers the tasks of working with equipment (interfaces, settings), the general management of work, the collection and processing of asynchronously received events from equipment and commands from the operator, the response to these events and commands in accordance with the algorithm for crossing the border and covers the following levels:

- The level of management of the operation of the AMP equipment at the lower level of automation includes software that provides the operation of special equipment and automation of the APM. The software includes the SDK (developer kit) of the device manufacturer.

Automation control is provided by the APM automation control controller software.

- The level of control over the operation of the APM functional blocks is implemented as a middleware level that ensures independence of the upper-level main control program from specific equipment, in particular, the main control program manipulates the properties and methods of the wrapper classes corresponding to the subject area. Features of working with equipment are implemented in a wrapper using packages for developers (SDK). For each wrapper, library groups are allocated:

- libraries related to the hardware configuration - these libraries contain methods that implement the functions of the devices,

- libraries that contain methods for implementing functional requirements for the results of the operation of devices.

- The APM business process management level ensures the implementation of business processes and rules in accordance with the software algorithm for passing through the APM. The level software is implemented using event-oriented programming: the program asynchronously receives events from the TMA equipment and commands from the operator and reacts to these events in accordance with the software algorithm for passing through the TMA.

The architecture of the software package provides a high level of accessibility. When one of the software components or the APM hardware nodes exits, access to the components of the software package is not violated. The software package provides the ability to scale when organizing the work of the APM in groups without modifying its software. The architecture of the software package provides flexible scalability for the integration of TMA into a centralized management system for the work of TMA groups.

The software package includes software tools for preliminary testing and control of the technical condition (diagnosis) of hardware, software and hardware. All changes to the software package are carried out with preliminary testing and approval by authorized persons.

Basic requirements for logging and journal messages of APM PC:

- the messages should be sufficient to localize the software error and decide on the necessary adjustments to the application source code or infrastructure settings. In the event of an emergency, the existing diagnostics, tracking and monitoring results are collected and sent to the support service;

- Software components of the software package provides a unique identification of the transaction at the logging level;

- the recommended list of error parameters (all parameters should be localized by an error - that is, the name of the step should indicate the one at which the error occurred):

- identifier of the error process,

- stream identifier,

- error message or error code,

- mnemonics of the software component,

- the symbolic name of the process,

- The symbolic name of the process step.

The automated workplace of the APM operator was implemented on the basis of the Web server of the software package using the thin client technology without using special software. The operator must download a web browser, type the address of the web server of the APM software package and get authorized access to the on-screen form of the APM operator's workstation. As part of the development of APM ASPK, it is envisaged to execute AWP APM on the basis of a "thick" client and a "thin" client with centralized management and connecting an unlimited number of AWS APM and APM.

Special requirements for the hardware and settings of the workstation of the operator are not applied. It is possible to use any automated workstation included in the checkpoint grouping as an automated workstation of the operator of the APM.

The components of the software package use only open technologies, specifications and standards, languages and formal notations to organize information interaction, and interaction with proprietary (closed by the manufacturer) protocols and technologies is excluded. Information interaction is built taking into account event-oriented technology. The control program asynchronously receives events from the TMA equipment and commands from the operator and generates a response to these events in accordance with the functional logic of the TMA operation. The control program works with the following minimum set of events:

- The event "Passenger approached the document scanner",

- The event "Passenger departed from the document scanner",

- The event “The front door opened”,

- The event "The front door has closed,

- The event “The exit door opened”,

- The event "Passenger started inside the TMA through the exit door",

- The event “Object / person was found in the alignment of the closing door”,

- The event “There are more than one passenger inside the TMA,”

- The event "Lost Communication with the TMA Controller",

- The event "Lost Communication with the Operator of the TMA",

- Event “APM operator commands”,

- Event “Suspension of the border crossing process”,

- Event “Resuming the process of border crossing”,

- The event "Shutdown the TMA",

- The event "Turning on the TMA",

- The event “Permission to exit a passenger from the APM to the international zone”,

- The event “Passenger’s direction to the manual control zone”,

- Event “Passenger blocking in the APM vestibule”,

- Event “Shutdown of all TMAs”,

- Event “Turning on all TMAs”.

The state of the passage through the TMA and the data collected to this moment are transferred to the operator's workstation using an xml file containing the serialized profile of the passage through the TMA and image files from the data repository. Data in the xml file is updated when a stage is changed, a new image (photo, prints) is received or a complete portion of data is obtained (reading MRZ, etc.).

The protocol of the operator’s work with the control program is HTTPS.

The APM provides solutions for protecting information at the hardware and structural level, while the design of the APM provides for the placement of CIPF equipment in a closed metal box of the APM, the access covers for the equipment are locked, can be sealed or sealed by the security administrator. To control the opening of the lids, the constructors have tamper sensors.

The APM automation system covers the tasks of controlling the passenger’s presence in front of the cabin, controlling the passage of the passenger through the cabin, controlling the operation of entrance and exit door mechanisms and controlling the movement of the verification chamber to position it in the passenger’s face. The APM automation control system covers the following automation levels:

- the level of equipment operation control at the lower level includes software (SDK and device manufacturer drivers). Aggregation of equipment at the lower level is performed via the internal FBUS bus, which is provided by the programmable controller of the Ethernet network node - “Fastwell”. The controller forms a node of the system for collecting and processing data received from sensors, light displays, door control mechanisms and camera movements. The programming environment for the automation control controller - CoDeSys is adapted for the automation system of the automation system.

- intermediate level (wrapper level) - at the intermediate level, the system has a low-level driver that provides an interface for interacting with the PLC and a high-level driver that hides the details of the automation control implementation from the application program, ensures the correct exchange of data (commands and events) between the lower automation control level and the upper application level of the APM functional logic control. Data is exchanged over TCP.

The high-level automation control driver supports the mechanism of asynchronous reception of events from the automation control controller, translate these events into the control application program to form the response of the program in accordance with the algorithm for passing through the TMA. Operational level of the application program — represents the level of operation of the control application program; at this level, the application program provides the methods and properties necessary for automatically passing the border through the cabin.

The control program asynchronously receives events from the TMA equipment and commands from the operator and reacts to these events in accordance with the algorithm of passage through the TMA.

The special equipment of the functional unit for working with passenger documents includes an electronic device for reading travel documents and boarding passes for passengers. The equipment provides automatic recognition of pages of documents, has a built-in database of document templates, includes a reader of contactless identification microcircuits, supports advanced functionality for reading biopassport elements (MRZ, VZP and RFID) and a set of document validation functions and corresponds to the destination. The composition of the special equipment of the finger verification functional block includes a fingerprint scanner. The equipment ensures the operation of domestic cryptographic tools and algorithms in accordance with GOST 34.10-2012 and GOST 28147-89. The composition of the special equipment of the face verification functional block includes a camera for photographing the passenger’s face and an information display. The equipment ensures the operation of domestic algorithms for face verification systems in accordance with GOST R ISO / IEC 19794-5-2013 and ICAO recommendations. The camera and the information panel are located inside the lock chamber in front of the exit door on the right side.

The TMA has surveillance cameras at the entrance and above the TMA gateway camera. Video cameras turn on together with turning on the TMA and constantly transmit the video image of the TMA space to the operator’s screen, regardless of whether the TMA is in operation or not.

The APM's local network infrastructure is organized as a secure, isolated network segment. For addressing the main rack devices, a single internal address plan is formed; for each TMA device, a static IP address and network name are allocated. Border control of the local segment is performed by an edge router with firewall functions.

When turning on the TMA, the self-monitoring procedure should be performed (initialization of the TMA driver, checking the status of all sensors, etc.). If an error is detected, appropriate alerts are issued and the process stops before operator intervention. If no errors are found, preparations are made to receive the next passenger.

At any step in the process, events generated by sensors can arrive asynchronously. At any step of the process, commands can be received from the operator of the TMA asynchronously. The program of the TMA operator should periodically send messages to the control program to control communication between the programs. If this message is not received within the time specified in the system parameters, the event “Lost Communication with the TMA Operator” should be generated.

Processing LDPE and reading LDPE. A document scanner is prepared for reading the LDPE if it was not ready. Scanning starts automatically when the LDPE is placed in the scanner. When the passenger places the LDPE in the document scanner, the program receives a signal from the scanner that the document is in the scanner. In case of an error in reading the LDPE, the passenger is invited to repeat the reading several times (the quantity is set in the system parameters). A signal from the scanner about the completion of scanning a document on the monitor (video panel) displays the message "Take your passport."

Checking the type of document: if the document is not a biometric passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, the passenger is invited to go to the manual control zone. If the passenger is less than 18 years old, the passenger is invited to go to the manual control zone.

If the period of validity of the LDPE has expired or expires in the near future, the passenger is invited to go to the manual control zone. If the document is not reliable:

- In the profile of the passage through the APM, the sign “Fake document” is set

- A fake passport alert is being issued

- The transition to the step of processing biometric fingerprints.

Checking in for a flight. The check-in of the passenger’s registration in the flight check-in database is performed — there must be only one check-in, and the LDPE data must coincide with the registration data:

- Passenger check on operational records

- Verification of LDPE data in the lists of operational records, revoked / lost passports.

Processing a boarding pass (PT). When reading a boarding pass, a document scanner is prepared to read a document if it was not ready. Scanning starts automatically when the PT is placed in the scanner. In the event of a reading error, the passenger is offered several times (the quantity is set in the system parameters) to repeat the reading of the cargo. A signal from the scanner about the completion of scanning a document on the monitor (video panel) displays the message “Take the PT”. When the passenger picks up the PT from the scanner, the program receives a signal from the scanner that there is no document in the scanner.

Checking the conformity of the LDPE and PT data - the surname and name of the passenger are checked for matching with the corresponding data from the boarding pass. If you have access to the databases of the airport or airline, the existence of the flight indicated in the boarding pass is checked.

Processing biometric fingerprints. Fingerprint reading in progress. The fingerprint is compared with the “reference” and recorded in the profile of passage through the TMA. Fingerprint mismatch alert. The transition to the next stage of the algorithm is performed - Passenger Passage Inside the TMA.

Passenger passage inside the TMA is used if critical signs are not contained in the passage profile through the TMA, then the transition to the step - Preparing the TMA for the passenger’s entrance is performed. If there is a saved request of the TMA operator to direct the passenger to manual control, then the passenger is invited to go to the manual control zone. If a command to suspend the border has been received from the TMA operator, the process is paused until an operator command is received.

TMA preparation for passenger entry. The message “Go through” is displayed on the monitor (video panel). The front door of the TMA opens to pass in the forward direction. The process is suspended until the passenger passes inside the TMA - provided that the passenger has completed the passage to the TMA through the front door. After the passenger passes inside the TMA, the front door closes. The message “Cabin busy” is displayed on the monitor screen. A check is made for the presence of one and only one passenger inside the TMA.

Processing biometric photos. A photograph is taken of the passenger’s face, if the photograph was not received within the time specified in the system parameters, the appropriate notification is issued to the operator of the APM. In the event of a mistake in obtaining a photograph, the passenger is requested several times (the quantity is set in the system parameter), it is proposed to repeat “photographing”.

Comparison of a passenger’s photo with a photo in a passport. The photo obtained in the previous step is compared with the photo from the passport.

The decision to exit the passenger from the APM. If one of the critical situations is registered in the profile of the passage through the APM, then the process of passing the APM should be suspended until the passenger is blocked in the APM vestibule. If the profile does not have a mark about the special situations listed above, and the operator did not receive a command to interrupt the border, the transition to the next step is performed.

Passenger exit from TMA - Preparing the TMA for exit. The exit door opens for passage in the forward direction. The process is suspended until the passenger leaves the TMA before the exit of the passenger from the TMA through the exit door is completed. After the passenger leaves the TMA, the exit door closes. All data from the border profile is written to the database. Checks for foreign objects inside the TMA. In the event of any error occurring at this step, the operator is issued a corresponding message, and the border crossing process is terminated before the operator intervenes.

Preparing the TMA to receive the next passenger. Checks for foreign objects inside the TMA. The front door closes if it has not been closed. The exit door closes if it has not been closed. The border profile is cleared. TMA equipment is getting ready for work.

An offer to the passenger to go for manual control or to refuse passage through the TMA. A message is sent to the procedure for performing this step, which must be displayed on the monitor. All data from the border profile is written to the database. The process stops until the passenger leaves the TMA. After the passenger leaves the TMA, the transition to the beginning of the process is performed.

Turning off the TMA. If the process of passing through the TMA has not been started: The document scanner is turned into an inactive state, and the pass indicator is set to the “Passage Forbidden” state. The message “The cabin does not work” is displayed on the monitor screen, and the process stops before receiving the command of the TMA operator “Turn on the Cab”. After receiving such a command, the transition to the beginning of the algorithm is performed.

Event handling. The program asynchronously receives events from the APM sensors and the operator and processes them. The passenger approached the TMA - this event occurs when the passenger approached the TMA. Passenger departed from TMA - this event occurs when a passenger departed from TMA. The front door has opened - this event is allowed only in response to a command to open the front door of the TMA to pass in the forward direction no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command. The front door is closed - this event is allowed only after the passenger passes through the front door in the forward direction no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command, and also in response to an explicit door closing command (for example, in the error handler) no later than specified in the system parameters time interval after command. The exit door has opened - this event is allowed only in response to a command to open the TMA for the passenger to exit the TMA through the exit door no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command. The exit door has closed - this event is allowed only after the passenger leaves the TMA through the exit door no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command, and also in response to an explicit door closing command (for example, in the error handler) no later than the interval specified in the system parameters time after the command. Passenger started inside the TMA through the front door - this event is allowed only after the command to open the TMA front door for passage in the forward direction no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command. Passenger's passage to the inside of the TMA through the front door is completed - this event is allowed only after the command to open the front door of the TMA for passage in the forward direction no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command. The passenger started to exit the TMA through the exit door - this event is allowed only after the TMA exit door is opened for passage in the forward direction no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command. Passenger’s exit from the TMA through the exit door is completed - this event is allowed only after the TMA exit door is opened for passage in the forward direction no later than the time interval specified in the system parameters after the command. Passenger started to enter the TMA through the exit door - this event is not allowed under any circumstances: a command is issued to close the entrance and exit doors, and the TMA operator is notified of an error, the process stops before operator intervention. An object / person has been found in the alignment of the door that is closing - notify the operator of the TMA. Inside the TMA there are more than one passenger - the entrance and exit doors are closed, and the TMA operator is notified of the presence of more than one passenger inside the TMA, while the process is suspended until the operator intervenes. Lost Communication With TMA Controller - TMA operator is notified of a problem.

An attempt is made to reconnect to the TMA controller. Lost communication with the TMA operator - this event is generated when the KeepAlive message periodically sent by the program has not been received from the TMA operator program for the time specified in the system parameters. The entrance and exit doors of the APM are closed, and the indicators are set to the “Passage forbidden” state, the message “Cabin is not working” is displayed on the monitor. TMA Operator Commands - Suspension of the TMA process - this command can be issued by the operator only at the steps of processing biometric information. Resuming the process of passing the TMA - if the process is waiting for an operator's response (after issuing a command to suspend the process, processing is performed immediately (described in the appropriate places in the algorithm). Shutdown of the TMA - if the process of passing through the TMA is not started, the command is executed immediately. Otherwise, the TMA It will be turned off after processing the current passenger Turning on the TMA - this command can be issued by the operator only if the TMA was previously turned off by the command “Turning off the TMA” and the program waits for permission to exit the passenger from the TMA - this command can be issued by the operator only if the process expects the operator to respond to the special situation “Possible photo mismatch.” Passenger to the manual control zone - if this command was issued by the operator when the process awaits operator response to a special situation.

The use of TMA in the ASPK allows you to increase the controllability and performance of the throughput module, as well as to increase the accuracy of checking persons passing through control, which generally increases the reliability of throughput control.
