The API module accepts inputs from various forms of transport carriers to process Advance Passenger Information and, where appropriate, return interactive responses in the form of passenger Board / No-Board decisions. This effectively extends your border control to the passenger’s point of departure. Interactive API decisions are based on targeting and intelligence rules that are configured to meet client needs and dynamic threats.
Passenger Name Record (PNR) and Specific Transport Types (STT) entries are supported and can receive information from carriers on various transport modes, with automatic data conversion.
The system supports many types of watch lists; for example identifying Persons of Interest and passengers on No-Fly lists. Green lists allow registered travellers and Visa holders to be efficiently and speedily routed, while configurable Business Rules can be defined to target potential threats and problems. The system also highlights trends using various types of travel formats.
Support staff can view the entire Border Operation, reviewing staff levels, passenger counts, problems and threats; any potential threats and problems are evaluated – in-real time – before a passenger boards.
