It also allows children to signal when in danger by clicking on the card that is equipped on the person. The equipment is expected to be field tested from December 2005 to March 2006 in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo. However, this device shows that there are still many limitations due to high cost and required to be equipped for both the road and the driver.
