Sistema de seguridad con tecnología Iot y reconocimiento facial para la Compañía de Taxis Patria Patriatax S.A.

Abstract

The research project focuses on the design of a facial recognition-based security system for the taxi company Patriatax S.A.. located in the Latacunga city. This project arises due to the increase in crime in taxi cooperatives in the area, so it seeks to implement an effective method to reduce crime and victimization through facial recognition of the driver and the passenger.

The importance of this system lies in its ability to obtain relevant information about passengers, such as possible legal issues, whether they are wanted criminals or have criminal records, which contributes to preventing dangerous situations for both passengers and the driver. Additionally, the facial recognition of the driver ensures that the vehicle is only used by the designated driver for that unit, increasing the safety of the passengers. An alcohol test is also incorporated, which can reduce the number of accidents caused by intoxicated drivers.

The implementation of this system heavily relies on the existence of advanced facial recognition technology and IoT platforms that allow real-time data collection and visualization. The effects of implementing this system are highly significant, as it not only improves the quality of service provided by Patriatax S.A. taxi company but also increases the trust of users in public transportation. As a result, it is expected that the number of users of the taxi company's services will increase, positively impacting the safety and quality of transportation services and benefiting the confidence of the users.
