Indonesian Railway Plans Biometric Security Upgrade

KAI, Indonesia’s state railway company, is planning to implement a CCTV facial recognition system to enhance passenger safety. Anne Purba, KAI’s VP of Public Relations, says the system will be used to “quickly spot individuals who have committed crimes at stations and take immediate action.”

KAI authorities also plan to upgrade a CCTV system already in place on KAI Commuter Lines with facial recognition tech. KAI Commuter Lines, officially known as PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI), is a subsidiary of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) that operates commuter rail services in the Greater Jakarta area and its surrounding regions.

“We’ve been using this system since 2020, but further investment is needed to fully develop it,” Purba explained.

The railway company is no stranger to facial recognition tech. Since September of last year, several stations have implemented a Face Recognition Boarding service to enhance the customer experience. But the new efforts are aimed primarily at enhancing security.

KAI operates most of the country’s rail transport, including both passenger and freight services. It has a long history, dating back to the colonial era, and has played a crucial role in the development of Indonesia’s transportation infrastructure.

KAI is responsible for managing the railway network across Indonesia, providing intercity train services, commuter services in major urban areas like Jakarta, and freight transport services. The company has been involved in various modernization projects to improve the efficiency and safety of the railway system, including upgrading tracks, modernizing trains, and implementing digital ticketing systems.
