Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

KDDI CORPORATION (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. President: Makoto Takahashi. Hereinafter "KDDI"), OYO Corporation (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. President: Masaru Narita. Hereinafter "OYO") and #toyota Motor Corporation (Head Office: #toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. President and Representative Director: Akio Toyoda. Hereinafter "Toyota") looked into establishing an "information support system for the government and local administrations as a measure against disasters (hereinafter "this system")" using cutting-edge technologies in IoT and big data analysis. The companies agreed to carry out demonstration experiments with the aim of commercializing this system by 2019.

This system will bring together KDDI's demographic movement data, OYO's various data from disaster monitoring sensors, probe data obtained through Toyota's connected cars, and publicized data, such as weather information, with the aim of creating all kinds of disaster prevention information.

This system will enable local administrations to, e.g., ascertain where the passable roads are, and allow the monitoring of extensive infrastructure in real time and during disasters or normal times. It will boost the accuracy and speed of decision-making in issuing evacuation warnings, regulating traffic, etc., ensuring safety in the daily lives of local residents.

Moreover, an exhibition will be held with a concept demonstration of this system, and explanations will be given on the concept behind the business at The 16th ITS Asia-Pacific Forum #fukuoka 2018 to be held on May 8, 2018, in #fukuoka City.
