At the cab stand at the east exit of JR Tsurumi Station AI-equipped monitoring system will be in operation from 9:00 a.m. on March 28 March 28, 9:00 a.m.

The Kanagawa Prefecture Taxi Association (located in Naka-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Chairman: Hiroshi Ito) has begun operating a real-time monitoring system for cab stands at the east exit of Tsurumi Station as a model case, with the aim of solving the transportation shortage and further improving convenience for users. The effectiveness of the system will be verified.

The system will install several cameras in the building next to the taxi stand and transmit real-time images of the waiting line of passengers and the number of waiting cabs in the cab pool to the radio room of the company, the sales office, and the cab drivers.

This system can also be used for crime prevention and disaster prevention, including cooperation in investigations of bank transfer scams, etc., and the status of people who have difficulty returning home in the event of a natural disaster, etc.
