Golong Technology has partnered with the Changshan County Public Transport to implement the country's first facial recognition payment transit construction project covering the entire county.
Compared to traditional public transport payment methods, which require passengers to carry a physical bus card or spare change, passengers can now use facial recognition integration machines to enter buses. They can choose to pay by scanning a card or QR code, among other payment methods. Passengers only need to stand in the designated area of the bus and press the corresponding button for facial verification. After hearing the voice prompt, they can board the bus, with the entire process taking just 2-3 seconds.
The "U-Worry-Free" public transport facial recognition payment digital application project in Changshan, supported by Golong, ranked 6th in the provincial highway and transportation system's best application selection. In 2022, the project received the 5th place award for the best grassroots digital reform application from the Provincial Department of Transportation. Since its launch, the boarding verification time for passengers has been reduced from 2 minutes and 30 seconds per person to 10 seconds per person. This digital application project promotes the deep integration of new technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and AI computing with the transportation industry. It has achieved full coverage across all public transport routes in the county, making it the first facial recognitionpayment project in the country to cover the entire user base in a county.
The project effectively addresses the issue faced by special groups such as the elderly and students who may not have smartphones, allowing them to enjoy convenient payment methods. It solves the cumbersome boarding procedures and inconveniences for special groups, achieving systematic and intelligent public transportation management.
The Golong Facial Recognition All-in-one Payment Integration Machine includes a facial payment system, identity verification system, self-service annual review system, and passenger flow analysis system. The local facial recognition database's core algorithms can meet operational processing requirements and support facial recognition even with masks and live detection. This intelligent onboard equipment is also capable of precise passenger flow management, attendance applications, and real-time security application functions. Drivers can sign in using facial recognition, and the system can utilize faces as unique IDs to calculate the vehicle's origin-destination (OD) passenger flow, enabling real-time alerts for specific groups.
The facial recognition all-in-one payment integration machine not only has a high level of security and is easy to operate, but it also meets individual passenger needs. This new boarding model, which encourages "facial recognition" before payment, is designed to be user-friendly and smart. The "Changshan U-Worry-Free Public Transport Facial Recognition" system supports not only individual user registrations but also allows family members to register and pay on behalf of others. For groups holding special cards, facial recognition can be used for an annual online review. This effectively addresses the travel issues faced by the elderly and students who find it difficult to utilize smart technology, marking an innovation in public transportation technology and the convenience brought by digital reform.
The facial recognition all-in-one payment integration machine has transformed traditional boarding methods for passengers, freeing them from the constraints of smartphones and transportation cards and providing a more intelligent boarding experience. Currently, this solution has been successfully applied in multiple cities, including Wenzhou, Shaoxing, Cangnan County, Longgang District, Xinchang County, and Pujiang County, receiving wide recognition from clients.
In the future, Golong will continue to commit to the public transportation sector, providing customized solutions for digital reform in public travel. The Golong "Facial Recognition All-in-one Payment Integration Machine" is now available in the national market, featuring faster and more accurate facial recognition capabilities. It is suitable not only for conventional public transport setting but also for various scenarios like customized buses, corporate shuttles, school buses, scenic area buses, and corporate commuting services.
