Reading boarding passes

The user presents the passenger’s boarding pass to integrated barcode reader and data is collected by the system.

In the example below, the passenger is denied because the date on boarding card is incorrect. All anomalies are stored in the PAXTracer database for analysis later.

When the boarding card contains more than one multiple, they are saved in the database. In the example above, the final destination of the passenger is Bordeaux (BOD) via Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG).

This allows to calculate statistics on the connections.
