WP9 — Pilot testing and impact assessment (PPHS)
Goals & Objectives
- Conduct pilot tests in real-world settings with EU border authorities to assess operational impact.
- Gather feedback for system refinement, ensuring the system meets user needs under diverse conditions.
- Evaluate performance, security, and operational efficiency, documenting lessons learned for further development.
Tasks
- Task 9.1: Pilot planning with Border authorities, EC, FRONTEX, euLISA, Mock-passengers informed consent and training, Border Guard Officer training (PPHS (L), All technical partners; M5-33) This task involves collaborating with EU organizations and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) to plan and coordinate pilot testing of the system in real-world scenarios. It includes defining objectives, setting up test environments, and aligning operational procedures with the legal and ethical guidelines specific to each organization. The planning phase ensures all stakeholders are informed and prepared, facilitating seamless integration and maximizing the effectiveness of the pilot tests.
- Task 9.2: Pilot based system optimization (XLAB (L), All technical partners; M13-33) Based on the outcomes and feedback from pilot testing, this task focuses on refining and optimizing the system for improved performance, accuracy, and reliability. Data collected during the pilots is analysed to identify system weaknesses, user experience issues, and operational inefficiencies, allowing for targeted adjustments and enhancements. The goal is to align the system with the real-world needs of border management operations and ensure it operates seamlessly in diverse conditions.
- Task 9.3: Pilot Slovakia (BGSK (L), All technical partners; M16-33) The border guard pilot in Slovakia will test the system in real-world scenarios to evaluate its performance, accuracy, and usability in border management operations, similar to tasks 9.4 and 9.5. It involves collaboration with border authorities, mock-passenger consent and training, and operational testing under diverse conditions. Feedback from these pilots informs system refinement to ensure compliance, efficiency, and seamless integration with existing procedures.
- Task 9.4: Pilot Finland (BGFI (L), All technical partners; M17-33) The task led by BGFI will be analogous to 9.3 and 9.5 but will focus on the specifics of the Finnish border.
- Task 9.5: Pilot UK (BGUK (L), All technical partners; M17-33) The task led by BGUK will be analogous to 9.3 and 9.4 but will focus on the specifics of the UK border.
- Task 9.6: KPI-based Security and performance verification, validation and evaluation (FHG (L), All technical partners; M17-33) Based on result of WP3, T9.6 develops a comprehensive tabular evaluation approach to determine the performance of OnMoveID border document management and (semi-)automated person verification system across multiple dimensions such as security, efficiency, accuracy, privacy preserving level, sparse and minimum communication, legal acceptance and user satisfaction. The approach incorporates data from pilot tests to provide detailed insights into system capabilities, operational impact, and areas for improvement. It allows for ongoing performance monitoring and comparative analysis, ensuring the system meets all set objectives.
- Task 9.7: End user training (PPHS (L), THALCZ, XLAB, CAFA, AIT, IDENTY, VSENS, IDEMIA, BGFI, BGUK, BGSK; M16-36) To ensure effective implementation and usage of the system, this task provides training sessions for end users, including border patrol agents and other relevant personnel. The training covers operational procedures, technical functionalities, and security protocols, emphasizing hands-on experience and practical knowledge. The aim is to build user competence and confidence, ensuring that the system is utilized effectively and efficiently in the field.
- Task 9.8: Lessons learnt for path to industrialization and fielding (IDEMIA (L), CAFA; M16-36) This task involves documenting the insights and experiences gained throughout the pilot testing phase to inform future development and deployment strategies. It includes analysing successes, challenges, and areas needing improvement, as well as capturing feedback from end users and stakeholders. These lessons are used to refine the system further, enhance training programs, and guide the rollout of the technology in other regions or contexts, ensuring continual improvement and adaptability.
