Started developing new services using the "road surface information" and "map data" of the three companies, Alps Alpine, Yokohama Rubber, Zenrin

　Alps Alpine, Yokohama Rubber, and Zenrin have begun considering a new tire business on February 19, jointly conducting a demonstration experiment to link the data obtained from the "IoT tires" with the map information on February 19. announced.

　In this demonstration experiment, the "Advanced Tire Sensor" jointly developed by the Alps Alpine and Yokohama rubber was installed on the experimental vehicle to detect a road surface.By linking the road surface detection information of the tire sensor and the abundant map information of Zenrin, the analysis, accumulation of various road surface data, and the construction of system construction, and propose new value -added tire business.It is said to aim for realization.

Background of demonstration experiment

　アルプスアルパインと横浜ゴムは、タイヤもCASE（Connected、Autonomous、Shared & Services、Electric）対応およびIoT化が求められる中、従来のタイヤ空気圧検知に加えて、摩耗や路面の状態を検知し、それらの取得データをデジタルツールで処理・管理していくソリューションビジネスの展開を視野に入れた研究開発を2019年より開始。

　In order to respond to new changes in mobility demand in the future, the development of a system that feeds back data from tires to users or autonomous driving vehicles, and the development of applications is important.

　In addition, Zenrin sets up the "real world into a library", and in 1741 municipalities nationwide, various information is collected and managed as a map database.The company has been considering creating a new business by linking a variety of dynamic information, such as the big data owned.

　Therefore, the Alps Alpine, Yokohama Rubber, and Zenrin companies have acquired various roads information from public roads using an experimental vehicle equipped with "IoT tires", and in cooperation with high -precision maps and road regulation information.The company will consider a business to realize safe and secure services in society.

Future prospects of demonstration experiments

　For example, through data analysis through demonstration experiments through demonstration experimental data, such as navigation and air pressure deficiency and avoiding steep slopes, steep curved roads, safe driving support by providing information such as road surface freezing, sinking roads, and controlling automatic driving vehicles.Aim to provide solutions.

Roles of each company

Providing a system platform that develops the development of status detection techniques such as wear and roads, established wear, and the development / manufacturing data of the state detection sensor such as the road surface, etc.

Development of status detection technology such as wear and road surface, development of tires with established sensor, manufacturing IoT proposal of new added value using tires

Provision of map information such as high -precision maps, various road regulation information IoT Tire acquisition information and map information link / analysis IoT proposal of new added value using tires and map information
