SEOUL: A scream detection system has been installed in several subway stations in Seoul, along with other devices. Seoul Metro said Friday (March 23) that it partnered with telecom company KT to provide services that use information and communication technology at its subway stations. Seoul Metro, which runs Subway Line Nos. 1 to 8 in Seoul, installed the scream detection system called 'Safe Mate' in women's bathrooms at 10 stations on Line No. Seoul Metro plans to develop the system so that it can automatically report the situation to the police upon detecting a scream.
