Facial recognition technology; A case study on its adaptation for local traffic management use in the Philippines

Abstract

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) of the Philippines plays a crucial role in regulating land transportation and ensuring road safety across the country according to Executive Order (E.O) No. 125 and 125A dated 13 April 1987 and E.O No. 226 dated 25 July 1987. With millions of transactions annually, the LTO faces challenges related to identity verification, license issuance, vehicle registration, and enforcement of traffic regulations. In response to these challenges, the LTO should embark on a journey to modernize its operations through the adoption of facial recognition technology (FRT). This case study explores the process, challenges, and possibilities of adoptions on implementing Facial recognition technology in the LTO.
