I want customers to feel that they want to run today and tomorrow. To that end, we believe it is important to realize a service that is more visible than ever, and above all, that customers can feel.
Inspection of road structures, etc.
Inspection of road structures is the basis for early detection of deformations such as road structures, prompt and appropriate measures, and maintenance of good conditions over the long term.
In addition to checking the condition of road structures through daily patrols, we also carry out detailed inspections of structures such as bridges and tunnels by close visual inspection once every five years based on laws and regulations.
For structures that have been confirmed to be damaged by inspection, a repair plan will be formulated and repairs will be carried out at an early stage.
In addition, we will actively adopt new inspection technology in order to accurately grasp the condition of structures that are difficult to inspect, such as bridges in narrow spaces.
Renewal and repair of road structures
Implementation of Expressway Renewal Project
"Expressway Renewal Project" that keeps Expressway healthy for a long time by repairing and reinforcing structures such as bridges and tunnels using the latest technology and restoring performance and functions equal to or better than those at the beginning of construction. We are working on.
Strengthen control of vehicles violating excess weight
Expressway For vehicles that violate the Vehicle Restriction Ordinance, such as excess weight, which may significantly affect the deterioration of the structure of the vehicle and lead to serious traffic safety accidents, We are working to reduce the number of vehicles that violate the event by holding discounts on “classes” and “large frequent discounts”.
Overweight vehicles are prohibited!!
Resistant to disaster Expressway Making
Securing emergency transportation routes in the event of a disaster
Following the partial amendment of the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Law, we are strengthening measures to move abandoned vehicles and stuck vehicles that obstruct the passage of emergency vehicles in the event of a disaster such as a large-scale earthquake or heavy snow.
During heavy snowfalls mainly in Gifu prefecture in December 2014, the law was Expressway, and by moving 71 stranded vehicles, efforts were made to secure a passage route early and to support the passage of emergency rescue vehicles. It was.
Securing traffic during stormy weather
In response to the record heavy snowfall in the Kanto and Koshin regions in February 2014, expansion of advance public relations recommending withdrawal, Safety on the Expressway Enhancing awareness-raising activities, strengthening pre-placement of snow removal vehicles, increasing the number of rotary snow removal vehicles, strengthening the snow removal system, such as efficient operation through the introduction of a location information system, and strengthening cooperation with related organizations. We strive to ensure smooth traffic during stormy weather.
Seismic reinforcement
Regarding anti-seismic reinforcement plans for bridges
Traffic accident prevention, traffic safety measures
Although the number of fatal accidents has been declining since its peak, there are still many accidents involving collisions with stopped vehicles and motorcycles. We are implementing "hardware measures" that will reduce serious traffic accidents and improve the driving environment, such as installing high-intensity lane markings, and "software measures" that are safety awareness activities, such as holding road safety campaigns and Expressway road safety seminars, and providing Safety on the Expressway and congestion forecast guides.
Additionally, in the Tajimi area ChuoExpwy, climbing lanes are being used as driving lanes in order to reduce the risk of traffic accidents and increase traffic capacity.
Changes in fatal accidents over time
Hardware measures to prevent serious traffic accidents
High performance pavement
Improved protective fence
High brightness lane mark
Software measures such as traffic safety awareness activities
Strengthening measures to prevent reverse driving
Leading to serious accidents Expressway In order to prevent reverse running, we have implemented physical measures such as visual measures such as large arrow road markings and rubber poles to prevent U-turns in interchanges and service areas.
Congestion measures
Promotion of traffic congestion mitigation measures at bottleneck locations
In order to reduce traffic congestion at bottlenecks, we will set up additional lanes at traffic congestion points and build networks by improving Shin-Tomei Expressway and Shin-Meishin Expwy as measures against traffic congestion. Promote.
Response to illegal traffic
Response to illegal traffic
As a countermeasure against illegal traffic such as forced breakthrough and vehicles not charged for ETC, a blocking bar and a surveillance camera were added to the tollhouse, and the vehicle was identified by video confirmation and data survey analysis, etc. We are trying to collect it.
For addicts and malicious persons, we will face a strong stance such as payment claim lawsuits, police reports and investigation cooperation.
In addition, we are working to ensure the recovery of causal contributions that require the cause of the accident to pay for the road restoration after the accident.
Promotion of ETC2.0 service-New fee policy for "use wisely"
"ETC2.0"Expressway In addition to paying tolls, we provide driving assistance services that are beneficial to drivers, such as avoiding traffic jams and driving safety.
We are aiming to improve road management and traffic jam information using the ETC 2.0 service, and we are developing safe driving support technologies and studying policy fees for mitigating congestion in cooperation with related organizations. The
We will also work with related organizations to support the spread of ETC2.0 on-board devices.
