RFID rail pass also tracks your kid’s every movement
December 23rd, 2008

Kids carrying an RFID contactless transit smartcard can also use it to automatically notify parents of their whereabouts.

A new security service plan from Tokyu Security integrates apartment and home security with the PASMO IC card.

Tokyu Security offers the ‘Kids Security’ service as an option with its standard home security plans. Emails indicating a child’s location can be sent automatically when the PASMO card is held over a PASMO card reader at a train station or on a bus.

Tokyu is also installing the PASMO security card system in all its new apartment buildings. Read more and see a child’s typical daily travels (according to Tokyu) at Lets Japan.
