Chihiro Matsui
Assistant Professor, Research and Development Initiative, Chuo University

Preventing Seashore Water Accidents Using Advanced Technologies
Toshinori Ishikawa
Professor, Chuo University Research and Development Initiative
As soon as I returned from the offshore to the beach with a swimmer, I was contacted via walkie-talkie to go back to offshore. During summer vacations in my school days, compared to the present, the beach was crowded with many people. Because I had better swimming ability than my fellow lifesavers, I was focusing on rescues for the swimmers who were pulled away to the sea and drowning swimmers. There were some precious lives that I could not save.
