When trucks are on the road, the economy becomes visible. The future opened up by 'Logita,' data from 500,000 commercial vehicles.
Our guest this time is Mr. Hirano from Hino Computer Systems. We will be discussing "Logita," a system that anonymizes connected data acquired from trucks and buses and uses it to solve social issues. In addition to Hino Motors, they also handle data from Mitsubishi Fuso, and the scale of their data covers approximately 500,000 vehicles. What can we learn from data unique to commercial vehicles, such as location information, fuel consumption, engine speed, and safety device operation? We will delve into how data from trucks that run 24 hours a day will transform Japan's logistics and transportation infrastructure, from road repair and snow-stuck detection to identifying passable roads during disasters, to logistics DX and addressing the 2024 problem.
