RecFaces hosts expert panel on facial biometrics for Asian Railway & Metro

RecFaces, a global provider of ready-made biometric software solutions, announces the online expert panel “All Aboard Securely: Facial Biometrics for Asian Railway & Metro”, which takes place on September, 19 at 2 PM (GMT+7). The event brings together leading voices from the transport, security, and advanced tech industries to explore how facial biometric technologies support the rapid development of railway and metro systems across Southeast and South Asia.
 
From 2020 to 2030, Asia’s high-speed rail network is expected to expand by 28,000 kilometers to reach 70,000 kilometers in total, while metro projects are set to add about 158,000 kilometers across the region, with passenger volumes rising as well. As networks become more complex, operators face growing demands for security and operational efficiency. In this context, facial biometrics emerge as a powerful technology to support the sector’s growth by strengthening safety, ensuring operational resilience, and enabling seamless passenger identification.

 

The panel features Oleg Kurochkin, Business Development Director for the APAC region at RecFaces, Dr. Ajay Talwar, Head of Business Verticals for India & SAARC at Bosch Security and Safety Systems, as well as representatives of the rail transit industry. Together, they discuss regional trends and challenges, showcase how cooperation between Keenfinity (Bosch) and RecFaces helps create secure and efficient processes for metros and railroads, and maintain the balance between data privacy compliance and passenger convenience.
 
Kurochkin comments: “With Asia’s high-speed rail network expected to grow by over 28,000 kilometers in the next decade, the opportunity to embed biometric solutions from the very scratch is unprecedented. This is the moment to ensure safety and efficiency evolve alongside infrastructure.”

Dr. Ajay Talwar adds: “At Keenfinity (Bosch), we recognize that transport operators such as Metros and Railways across Southeast Asia are navigating the twin pressures of rapid expansion and rising passenger expectations."

"Our focus is on delivering integrated surveillance, security, and safety solutions that drive efficiency, reliability, and trust. Through collaboration between Bosch’s high-performance surveillance cameras and RecFaces’ advanced facial recognition software, we empower rail networks to achieve higher accuracy in analytics, faster incident response, and more resilient safety ecosystems — ultimately creating smarter and safer transport systems,” Talwar continues.
 

The session is designed for metro and railway operators, security technology providers, and urban development specialists seeking innovative solutions to future-proof Asia’s fast-growing rail systems.
 
Registration is open, and all professionals interested in designing secure and efficient rail transit in Asia are warmly invited to join the discussion and exchange ideas with industry experts
