The front counter devices will be used at most Queensland Transport customer service centres, some Queensland Government Agent Program (QGAP) offices and police stations in rural and remote areas.
Unisys will train Queensland Transport staff in facial image capture operations.
It will also provide the Cognitec facial image recognition software used to match the biometric facial image against existing images in the driver licence database.
Unisys technology partner Daon is providing biometric enrolment technology and biometric middleware software.
Oswin added that the move to digital products will set a national benchmark in biometric and smartcard based driver licences across the country.
Where a discrepancy needs further investigation, the Unisys identification and credentialing framework LEIDA (Library of eID Artefacts software) will provide the backbone case management system to connect all the elements of the Queensland Transport solution together.
For example, where an applicant's photo matches a photo under a different name in the system it will trigger an alert, provide an immediate side-by-side comparison, and track ongoing case management if further investigation is required.
"In today's fast and knowledge-based environment, the community wants the protection offered through effective security processes to minimise the risk of identity theft and related threats," said Allen Koehn, managing partner, Public Sector, Unisys APAC.
