JR East has decided to conduct a demonstration test to introduce a system that allows passengers to report damage to their conductors without having to speak through a smartphone app when a passenger is molested.

In the system under development, when a passenger undergoes molestation in a train, tapping the screen of the application installed on the smartphone in advance will send a notification to the tablet terminal of the conductor.

The vehicle that had the molesting behavior can be identified through GPS, etc., and the conductor who received the report announced in the in-vehicle broadcast that "There was a report of a molester from the customer of car 5" and put the same application Notify others.

This allows the victim to be aware of the situation without having to raise his / her own voice, thereby suppressing molesting.

JR East has been conducting verification tests on the Saikyo Line since late this month to verify the effectiveness of the system, and to investigate whether the passengers did not feel uncomfortable with the method and contents of in-vehicle broadcasting. I want to put it to practical use.

President Yuji Fukasawa said at a press conference, "Some voices say that victims of perverts can't easily ask the people around them for help.
