Abstract

Terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, District of Columbia on the morning of September 11, 2001 have changed our lives. The security problem became very important regarding all spheres of human activities. Tracking persons (employees, customers etc.) in ITS (Intelligent Transport System)is a huge problem. Biometrics offers a very good solution for this problem and is today maybe one of the most promising techniques for person's secure verification and authentication; biometric system also features some advantages when compared to other security systems. When using a biometric systemone has to be careful because the functionality of a biometric application can be dramatically aggravated if inappropriate biometric features are selected. Classification of biometric features on contact and contactless, or distinction between"strong" and "soft" biometric features gives a framework for using biometric features, but it does not ensure that biometric features are implemented at a satisfactory level. The usage ofmultimodal or unimodal biometric system can significantly increasethe system security but it also opens plenty of questions like privacy etc. This paper describes the implementation of biometric features which can be used in ITS, and delineates a new model of usage.
