"Buried in Doka Snow" Snowwear accident, Aomori Prefecture experimented with 5G system

Tablet terminal installed in the driver's seat of a snowplow with a red screen indicating that the obstacle has approached is 4:45 am on February 25, 2022, at 4:45 am in Taniki, Aomori City.

　Aomori Prefecture conducted a demonstration experiment in Aomori on the 25th in Aomori, a snow removal support system utilizing the next -generation telecommunications standard "5G" that allows high -definition video and large -capacity data to be exchanged faster. This is the first experiment that combines the operation support of the 360 ​​-degree camera on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the 360 ​​-degree camera on a snowplow, aiming for a decrease in property damage accidents and personal injuries during snow removal, and will be used in the future. Initiatives are expected. [Yushi Ezawa] This experiment was conducted in collaboration with the NTT DOCOMO Tohoku branch office and Hachinohe City's IT company "Sun Computer". The purpose was to remove snow so that it would not hurt the manhole and curb, which was covered with snow, and to be able to check the blind spots and call out to the unfamiliar drivers. In the experiment, a snowplow that removes the parking lot at a supermarket in the city has a high -precision GPS antenna, tablet, and a remote 360 ​​-degree camera. The tablet displayed a three -dimensional map based on the exact location information of the snowplow, and the screen turned red when approaching the obstacle. On the other hand, the headquarters, which is located, reached a real -time video from a snowplow, and the people involved in the appearance of blind spots and sudden obstacles. Among snow removal operators, when a snowstorm is poor or the amount of snowfall is large, snow removal shovels hidden in the snow may collide and damage the basics of the road, etc., which is expensive. The cost was an issue. Fumie Yoshino (45), a snow removal company in Aomori City who participated in the experiment, said, "If it's like this year, you'll be buried what you usually see. I look at maps, but if I have such a system, I am strong. " The prefecture has been conducting an experiment on solving regional issues using 5 g from 2020 in FY2020, with an eye on the arrival of the IoT (Internet of Things), which connects all equipment by communication, and will continue to create new businesses according to regional issues.
