We would like to inform you that NEXCO EAST (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) announced at the 17th ITS World Congress Busan 2010 that "Expressway control system reflecting a large-scale earthquake" was awarded as an excellent paper. ..

NEXCO EAST reflects the experience of large earthquakes in the past at Regional Head Office in Tohoku, so that Expressway can be used by customers 24 hours a day in a safe, secure, comfortable and convenient manner. , The road control system was rebuilt.

In the conventional road control system, each system (information board, weather, traffic volume measurement, highway radio) was individually managed, but by integrated management, it is possible to quickly understand the situation and operate the equipment even in the event of a disaster. We can now respond.

In addition, we have constructed a system with various ideas, such as preventing the entire system function from going down even if a failure occurs, by using multiple routes for each control system and transmission route system.

These things were highly evaluated at the ITS World Congress.
