JR East (East Japan Railway Company) will introduce platform screen doors on the Shinkansen platforms at Tokyo Station in Japan.
It will install a new type of platform screen door that accommodates multiple train formations with differing door positions, using QR codes to identify the trainset type and automatically open the corresponding platform doors. The system will be introduced on Tracks 20 and 21 by the end of fiscal 2028 (Japan), and on Tracks 22 and 23 by the end of fiscal 2029 (Japan).
At some stations where Shinkansen trains pass through, JR East has installed platform doors as a countermeasure against wind pressure. Going forward, it will promote the introduction of platform doors based on usage conditions at each station.
In the future, the company will also study functions that link train doors with platform doors so that the platform doors open and close automatically in sync with the train doors.
