Video surveillance
In transportation, respecting the wearing of masks measured by intelligent video
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
On buses, subways or trains, carriers can now use smart cameras to monitor mask compliance. Settled on public transportation, these devices allow for the counting of masked persons without individual identification. Following an opinion from the National Commission for Informatics and Liberties (Cnil), a decree issued on March 11, 2021, authorizes the use of video surveillance to compile statistics on this barrier gesture for public health purposes.
Public transit operators can use smart video to measure the rate of mask use to help ensure that the requirement to wear a mask is met during a public health crisis.
They may use this device to:
- produce statistical assessments on compliance with the mask requirement;
- adapt their public information and awareness-raising activities.
Images are collected only by fixed cameras located in vehicles or publicly accessible spaces used for public passenger transport. They are neither stored nor transmitted to third parties. These images are instantly transformed into anonymous data to establish the percentage of people wearing masks.
The result produced on a station or station may not be updated in less than twenty minutes. It only looks at the number of people detected and the percentage of those people wearing masks, excluding any other data that can identify people.
Please note
In an opinion of 17 December 2020, the Cnil stressed the need to specify the purpose and essential characteristics of the envisaged processing of the data collected and to inform individuals. She also pointed out that these cameras were not intended to punish breaches of the regulations on the wearing of masks. It now recalls that the device envisaged by the text must not process biometric data and does not constitute a facial recognition device.
