Train Stations In Japan Get Cameras That Can Detect Drunkenness
- 9 years ago
New cameras which can detect drunken behavior have been deployed at a rail station in Japan with the goal of cutting down on the number of train collisions with inebriated people on the platform.
Technology could help to save lives at Japanese train stations.
According to reports, West Japan Railway has installed security cameras at one station that can detect common patterns of drunkenness.
Among the behaviors they have been programmed to identify are unstable walking and long periods of motionlessness, such as from those who have passed out.
Once this activity has been detected, an attendant is notified to review the footage and can deploy onsite staff
