It is inevitable that the public transportation diamond will be tattered after the super-big typhoon hit by Kanto this morning.
It is "natural" that I cannot enter the station at 10:30 because of the operation that had been canceled until 9:30.
That's why all rush hours from 6 to 8 am are now in progress.
Of course, I'm bad because I couldn't predict this situation,
There is nothing wrong with a railway company.

However, I would like to propose again.
"Installation of a Web camera that provides a bird's-eye view of the vicinity of the ticket gates of all stations (including local stations)"
If it is a problem for individuals to be identified, the entire video may be displayed blurred.
I think it is important to be able to “visually check” the congestion of the station.
Only "Character information" is hard to change human behavior.
-----
I think that this level of proposal was once made.
I think the problem is cost-effectiveness.
If such troubles occur more often than once a year, such capital investment will be expensive.
Besides, mass surveillance cameras are distributed on SNS (Twitter etc.), so it may be a wasteful investment.
-----
However, the information provided by Twitter is irregular and unreliable. Real-time characteristics are also weak.
So my suggestion is
"Mobile ad hoc camera using a Raspberry Pi"
The communication system needs to use FreeWifi installed at the station, or the dithering with company smartphones distributed to station staff is useful.
The company processes the video appropriately in real time, with the system near the ticket gate, transfering the video to the server of the electric railway company, and publishing from the homepage.
Since maintenance will be troublesome, the systems have been set by the staff should be distributed to each station the day before the typhoon.

This kind of work seems to me very easy,
"Don't think that things that are easy for you, are also easy for others."
The words that vomit to others come back to me like a boomerang.
