All stations on the Toei Subway in Tokyo now have platform doors.
To prevent accidents from falling onto the tracks from station platforms, train companies are creating ”platform doors.”
東京都の都営地下鉄では20日、106の全部の駅にホームドアができました
Platform doors were installed at all 106 stations on the Toei Subway in Tokyo on the 20th.
東京都によると、最後にホームドアができた駅を走る電車には、2次元コードが貼ってあります
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, two-dimensional codes are affixed to trains running at the last station with a platform door.
A camera on the platform reads the 2D code and the platform door opens and closes.
このホームドアのための電車の工事に、今までのやり方では、20億円かかる予定でした
Since we adopted the new method of using two-dimensional codes, the cost was only about 2.7 million yen.
Takashi Miyake of an organization for people with visual impairments said, ``If there were platform doors, people with visual impairments would feel very safe.
I hope other stations will use the new technology to create platform doors as soon as possible.”
