Particularly in certain regions, the unauthorized transfer of ski passes remains a costly and persistent challenge. Until now, ski resorts had relied on systems that capture entry-point photos of skiers, leaving operators to manually compare images to spot inconsistencies — a time-consuming process. Now more than ever, ticket misuse can be effectively detected and solved thanks to Axess SMART GUARD.
This innovative AI-based module for ticket fraud prevention uses a learning algorithm to automatically compare and sort images of skiers captured by the Axess LANE CONTROL CAMERA installed at access points, matching them to the ticket ID every time skiers walk through the gate.
It then calculates a similarity score, flagging any suspicious activity where the appearance of the user changes significantly. A prioritized list of potential fraud cases is provided to the operator, who can quickly assess and, if necessary, deactivate the pass with just a few clicks.
Axess SMART GUARD performs its analysis without storing any biometric data. Instead, it evaluates visual patterns such as color, shape, and texture, enabling efficient fraud detection while respecting privacy and regulatory requirements.
