In the week commencing 21st July 2025 partners of the EU CarMen project convened at the University of Reading to undertake a joint multimodal boimetric data collection. The data collection serves as an important first stage in collecting realstic biometric data under representative conditions simulating drive-through border controls.
The CarMen project addresses the growing need for more efficient and secure border management across Europe. By using biometrics on the move, the project aims to eliminate delays and queues at borders without compromising safety. This will contribute to smoother border crossing experiences and strengthen overall security within the Schengen Area and beyond.
