CBX Chooses SAFR® from RealNetworks To Enhance Terminal Efficiency
October 14 2020 - 9:00AM
Otay-Tijuana Venture LLC, a US-Mexican group of companies operating
Tijuana International Airport’s Cross Border XpressTM (CBX), has
chosen SAFR® from RealNetworks’ [NASDAQ: RNWK] video analytics
technology to be used throughout the San Diego - Tijuana terminal
in order to optimize operations and improve passenger flow.
The first building to connect the United States to a foreign
airport terminal, CBX serves millions of passengers that cross the
border as part of their trip, helping them avoid unforeseen delays
in the congested border crossings of San Ysidro and Otay.
“We are very satisfied with the performance, specific
dashboards, and team support that SAFR offers, providing the
necessary insights that are required to run such an important
operation like CBX,” said Julio Armentariz, CTO of CBX.
The 390 ft long bridge is a hub for many daily situations where
technology, process, and people work together to create a safe and
efficient passenger experience. AI video analytics technology
ensures CBX staff have actionable data at their fingertips as they
monitor passenger flows and make real-time decisions.
“We are extremely proud to help CBX in their day to day
operations, contributing to more efficiency and quality of journey
for the thousands of passengers that frequent the terminal every
day,” said Jose Larrucea, RealNetworks Senior VP of International
Sales.
SAFR has recently added additional features specifically
designed to help customers respond to the global COVID-19 pandemic
including mask detection and occupancy counting. CBX has applied
the mask detection feature to passenger flow monitoring to better
track mask compliance and gather critical operations
data.
"We see optimal potential in RealNetworks’ technology and we are
looking into expanding its use in other areas within CBX in order
to increase operational efficiency," added Armentariz.
SAFR offers highly-accurate, fast, low-biased face recognition
and additional face and person-based computer vision features.
SAFR’s NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) scores
for speed, accuracy, and bias combine to distinguish SAFR as the
leader in real-world accuracy and performance.

2015, Cross Border Xpress (CBX) streamlines the means of travel for
