Digital Travel & Digital Borders
In-vehicle, automated border control for land and sea
Digital travel and the implementation of digital borders are revolutionizing the travel experience by streamlining processes and enhancing security for both travellers and border agencies. Initiatives such as trusted traveller programs allow pre-approved individuals to pass through border controls with minimal delays, thereby improving efficiency and convenience. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) is advancing reciprocity measures to align its trusted traveller programs with those of other countries, ensuring a smoother experience for international travellers. Meanwhile, the European Union is enhancing its border management through systems like the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) and the Entry/Exit System (EES), which aim to strengthen security while facilitating mobility across member states.
