Simplifying Complexity: Technology Empowering Mobility

 

Tap Into the Future – With Just a Wave of Your Hand


Designed for seamless travel, the palm scanning system allows passengers to enter and exit stations simply by raising their hand. Using advanced dual-mode biometric technology—palm print and palm vein recognition—this solution offers a contactless, secure, and convenient alternative to traditional tickets or facial recognition.


Unlike face recognition, this method ensures user control and privacy, requiring a conscious palm scan at the gate. Data security is a top priority, with dedicated encryption and secure communication channels safeguarding passenger information.

Fast Setup, Effortless Commute


Getting started is easy:

  1. Register your palm at any palm-scanning registration      kiosk in the station.
  2. Activate the service via the “Beijing Subway Palm Scanning      Boarding” WeChat Mini Program.
  3. Ride hands-free – simply scan your palm at gates      marked with a ring symbol. When recognized, the ring lights up green and      the gate opens.


Even if your phone is out of battery or you’ve forgotten your card, your palm is your pass. It’s hygienic, fast, and future-ready.
