New Japanese Surveillance can tell when people are drunk
In Japan, they have a new security camera system and the by the help of Japanese railroad program, it is capable to recognize possible commuter who are in the influence or affected by alcohol just by viewing them.
The installation of the high technology system is in Kyobashi station in Osaka, one of the largest cities in Japan with forty six cameras to spontaneously find the signs of alcohol and warn the citizens of probable problems. Not similar to a device used by police for measuring the amount of alcohol in a driver’s breathe, Japan’s new security camera system uses human action to try to anticipate who may have spoil the period of the day when drinks are sold at reduced prices in a bar or restaurant. Behind finding manifestations like moving unsteadily, the security cameras also search for people who are on the program who drunkenly choose to take a rest on a bench.
In Osaka, drunk people getting hit by trains is a critical problem. According to The Wall Street Journal, there were two hundred twenty one cases of passengers on the declared policy being stuck by trains. Around sixty percent of those accidents had been cause by drinking too much alcohol before the accidents.
The company West Japanese Railway which is behind the security system emphasizes that the cameras are only used to advocate safety and won’t be used to find people or it doesn’t mean to be similar to red light camera. If the new security camera system is proven successful, they plan to develop it to other stations in Japan.
