For example, the war in Ukraine illustrated the challenges experienced at the Eastern EU borders by the refugee migration surge in early 2022. This exploratory focuses on the European border security control process from the rail border perspective. It encompasses a descriptive synthesis of the lessons learned from the UIC Refugee Task Force as well as insights from the ongoing EU-funded Horizon Europe \n                    project ODYSSEUS (Unobtrusive Technologies for Secure and Seamless Border Crossing for Travel Facilitation). Project ODYSSEUS aims to support the security and integrity of the European space, reduce illegal movements of people and goods across EU borders, facilitate travelling for citizens all while protecting fundamental rights of travellers. The project will test a combination of multi-behavioural and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant biometric user identity verification tools, allowing, when possible, citizens to cross EU border without any interruption or queue. Further, novel luggage and baggage checks will allow citizens\u2019 vehicles and cargos to be remotely checked at land borders to speed up the border check processes in a secure and reliable manner. The project will run three pilot tests at road, rail and water borders. In this paper, we analyse the implementation of project\u2019s technologies in the rail border crossing pilot test and discuss the implications for the actors involved in the process of railway border crossing (e.g., border authorities, railway operators and railway travellers).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/openreseurope.17727.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,15]],"date-time":"2024-10-15T12:45:07Z","timestamp":1728996307000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.68336\/openreseurope.updatepolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Railway security checks at the border: between intrusive security technologies and fundamental traveller rights"],"prefix":"10.68336","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-1144-9574","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kacper","family":"Kubrak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Security Division, International Union of Railways (UIC), 16 rue Jean Rey, Paris, \u00cele-de-France, 75015, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5308-0644","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Grigore M.","family":"Hav\u00e2rneanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Security Division, International Union of Railways (UIC), 16 rue Jean Rey, Paris, \u00cele-de-France, 75015, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"13904","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"56052","unstructured":"Agamben G: What is an apparatus? and other essays.
