Gate device, boarding platform notification method, and boarding platform notification program

Abstract

To provide a gate device capable of guiding a user passing through a ticket examination passage to an arrival / departure platform of a train.SOLUTION: A gate device includes a ticket processing unit, an acquisition unit, and a display unit. The ticket processing unit reads ticket information stored in a ticket medium owned by a user entering a station yard. The acquisition unit, when the ticket processing unit has read commutation ticket information including an effective section and an effective period as the ticket information, acquires an arrival / departure platform of a train according to an entering station and a get-off station estimated based on the effective section for the user. The display unit displays a guide to the arrival / departure platform for the train acquired by the acquisition unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims
