October 20, 2016 Miyaike President briefing

[Moderator]

We have been waiting for you. We have just begun the 118th regular conference.

[Introduction]

[President]

Before we start the interview, let me say a few words.

The Tomei intensive construction, which began on September 26 (Mon), has been completed successfully on Friday, October 7 (Fri). Thank you for your cooperation.
In this intensive construction, the number of lanes in the Tomei Okazaki area was changed from three provisional lanes to two lanes.
After returning to the two-lane road, one week from October 8 (Saturday) to October 14 (Friday), including three consecutive holidays with relatively heavy traffic, from Tomei's Otowa-Gamagori Interchange (IC) to Toyota Junction ( There is no traffic congestion between JCT) and Shin-Tomei Expressway 's Inasa JCT-Toyoda JCT in parallel with this section, and we believe that the effect of the wide area network due to the opening of Shin-Tomei Expressway has greatly contributed.
We will continue to closely monitor the traffic situation in this section.

[Business status (September 2016)]

Next, I will explain today's topics.
Please see document 1.
In terms of business conditions, toll revenue in September was 54,318 million yen, down 2.6% from the same month last year. In addition, the average number of traffic per day was 1,954,000 units, down 1.4% from the same month last year. .
Factors for the decrease in September were that it was difficult to take consecutive holidays due to the arrangement of the days of the week in Silver Week, that the weather was not favorable, and that the Tomei intensive construction was implemented from November last year to September 10 this year. Due to the change in the month, both toll revenue and traffic volume decreased.

Next is the construction situation.
This section provides an overview of the construction of the section scheduled to open in FY2016.
Please see document 1 distributed at hand. Shin-Meishin Expressway and Tokai-Kanjo Expressway Yokkaichi from JCT Toin IC about 6km between is already opened.
About 9 km between Rokugo IC Chubu Odan Expressway and Masuho IC, road construction works such as earthworks, bridges, and tunnel construction have been almost completed, and pavement work and equipment work are currently underway.

Next is the service area (SA) situation.
SA / PA sales in September were 14,724 million yen, down 7.9% from the same month last year. Sales in the food and beverage sales department decreased 9.9% from the same month last year.
This was mainly due to the difficulty in taking consecutive holidays from the weekday arrangement of Silver Week this year and the impact of the typhoon on the third consecutive holiday in the second half, resulting in net sales of 90.1% compared to the previous year. Was.

[Opening of new Shin-Tomei Expressway / Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway (4-lane construction) construction site]

We plan to open two Expressway construction sites to the press.
See Document 2-1-1.
The first is the opening of the site where the bridge between the Shin-Tomei Expressway Atsugiminami IC and the Isehara-Kita IC in Kanagawa Prefecture will be closed at night and the bridge will be erected.
This section is under construction on almost all tracks with the aim of completing it in FY2018.
We have already announced on October 18 that construction work will be carried out by closing off traffic at night, but as part of disclosing the construction status of Shin-Tomei Expressway, we plan to have a look at the status of the evacuation erection with a long span of about 130m.

[Moderator]

Now, let's receive your questions.

[Reporter]

Regarding the current business situation, the Expressway business situation and SA / PA sales are lower than the previous year.

[President]

SA / PA sales were down for the first time in four months, as sales in May this year were 99% below the previous year and lower than the previous year.
Similarly, the Expressway business situation was lower than the previous year for the first time in four months, with traffic volume of 99.9% and revenue of 99.5% compared to the previous year in May.

[Reporter]

Is this the Okazaki SA event's first "Beautiful Pika Toilet Secrets" exhibition?

[President]

This is the first time.

[Reporter]

The police recently announced a policy to increase the maximum speed to 110 km / h on Shin-Tomei Expressway and some sections of Tohoku Expressway from the National Police Agency. I think it is necessary to respond, but how do you perceive it?

[President]

Some sections of Expressway are designed at 120 km / h in plains where traffic is heavy, and this time it is targeted at such sections. In terms of road structure, it is designed at 120 km / h, so I think that there is no problem in terms of safety, but as soon as possible while consulting with the police, such as maintenance of traffic safety facilities such as speed signs and information boards, etc. I want to be able to try.
In addition, as speed increases, travel time decreases and productivity improves, so I would like to work hard.

[Reporter]

I guess there is a decision from the police, but when do you plan to start the trial?

[President]

One and a half years later in some reports, but I can't tell you yet.

[Reporter]

Regarding the increase in the maximum speed of Shin-Tomei Expressway the maximum speed of heavy trucks is kept at 80 km / h, but there are various ways of receiving users. Some truck drivers are concerned about rear-end collisions due to the speed difference. Please tell us if you have any thoughts on the disadvantages of increasing traffic speed on traffic safety.
For example, when a truck driver changes course from a driving lane to an overtaking lane, it is hit by a rear-end collision due to a speed difference from a general passenger car.

[President]

I think that it is to verify such a thing in the trial.

[Reporter]

In connection with the increase in the maximum speed of Shin-Tomei Expressway, it is necessary to change signs and information boards. What do you think about the cost burden?

[President]

We will proceed with discussions with the police, such as where and what equipment should be added and how to change the display contents, but I think we will bear the cost.

[Reporter]

Please tell us about the cost.

[President]

We will decide on where and how much the signs should be strengthened, how to improve the information board, etc., so we can not answer the cost at this time.

[Reporter]

In the first place, why is the section from ShinShizuoka IC Shin-Tomei Expressway to MoriKakegawa IC targeted?

[President]

Since both sections currently operating on three lanes and sections operating on two lanes coexist, it is also suitable for police to verify the impact on traffic safety etc. I understand that is not the case.

[Reporter]

Has the interim three-lane operation between Toyota IC Tomei and OtowaGamagoori IC been completed?

[President]

Finished. We are returning to 2-lane operation before the three consecutive holidays in October.

[Reporter]

Higashi-Meihan Expressway of Kameyama IC from Suzuka IC or is in the section near the still of that during the operation of an interim three-lane, was the goal of the 2018 fiscal Kameyamanishi JCT from Yokkaichi to JCT Shin-Meishin Expressway are thinking in the direction of opening with a release of the Please tell me.

[President]

The section is operating in provisional three lanes and has not yet been released.

[Reporter]

From Kameyamanishi JCT to Yokkaichi JCT of Shin-Meishin Expressway, the talk so far has been about opening in 2018. Is this unchanged?

[President]

We want to complete it in FY2018, so that is no different.

[Reporter]

Is there any potential impact on the hard surface, such as by increasing the maximum speed to 110 km / h on a trial basis, which will accelerate the damage on the pavement?

[President]

During maintenance, we will also check for equipment wear.

[Moderator]

It seems that your question has been interrupted, so this is the end of your regular meeting.
