MC

We have been waiting for you. We are now starting the 125th regular conference.

[Business Status (April 2017)]

Please see document 1-1.
In terms of business conditions, toll revenue in April was 54,443 million yen, up 3.4% from the same month last year. In addition, the average number of traffic per day was 1.98,000 units, up 2.2% from the same month last year. .
In April, Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka-Mei-Nikan Expressway refresh construction of, from last year's April, and it was changed to May to June, Tomei-Shin-Tomei Expressway and Ken-O Road a strong is used to center the As a result, both toll revenue and traffic volume increased.

Next, as for the construction status, I will explain the construction status of the section scheduled to be opened in FY2017.
Shin-Tomei Expressway From Ebina-minami Junction (JCT) to Atsugi-minami Interchange (IC), 2 km from the junction, Atsugiminami IC section, earthwork and bridge superstructure are currently underway. Is inside. In addition, we are preparing to develop pavement work, signage work, information board and other equipment work, and we plan to start work sequentially next month.
In addition, as described in Document 1-2, the name of Atsugiminami IC, which had been a tentative name so far, has been officially determined and will be reported together.
For the 3km between Tokai-Kanjo Expressway Yoro JCT and Yoro IC, the main body of the road was taken over by the co-operator Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Chubu Regional Development Bureau, paving work, signing work, facilities Construction is underway.
In addition, two months have passed since Chubu Odan Expressway Rokugo IC and Masuho IC opened on March 19, meanwhile, during that time, on average, about 1700 cars a day on weekdays and about 3200 cars on holidays People are using it.
There is also a parallel diversion of traffic from National Route 52, and cooperation with the area along the route has been strengthened. This is the first step toward opening the whole line, and we recognize that there are great expectations from the local community.
We look forward to working with our partner, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, to get the whole line open as soon as possible, with the cooperation of the local community.

Next is the status of the service area (SA) and parking area (PA).
SA / PA sales in April were 15,407 million yen, up 7.3% from the same month last year. Sales in the Food & Beverage Division decreased 1.1% from the same month last year.

Sales in the gasoline segment increased 28.5% year-on-year due to higher selling prices and higher sales volume of diesel fuel.

[Experiment started on June 24 "Michi-no-Eki" will be able to drop in from Expressway]

See Appendix 2.
Announced by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on February 7 of this year, "The implementation of" smart fees "that will allow you to temporarily leave Expressway-Starting trials at three roadside stations nationwide- On June 24, we started a social experiment targeting Shin-Tomei Expressway and Shinshiro IC under our jurisdiction to enable a drop-off at the roadside station "Mokru Shinshiro". You.
In this social experiment, for vehicles equipped with ETC 2.0, after leaking at Shinshiro IC, stop at the roadside station `` Morukuru Shinshiro'' and re-enter from Shinshiro IC within one hour. If you use the service in the same direction as before entering the service, the fee will be the same as if you used it without going down Expressway to the destination.
This will enable the use of a variety of services provided by Roadside Stations, and is expected to contribute to the realization of a favorable driving environment and revitalization of the region.
Such social experiments are conducted at three locations nationwide. In addition to "Shinshiro Mokukuru", "Tamamura-juku" in the NEXCO EAST jurisdiction and "Solene Shunan" in the NEXCO WEST jurisdiction are covered.

[Preliminary operation of three lanes (provisional) will be started on some sections near the Yokkaichi IC Higashi-Meihan Expressway]

Please see document 3.
Higashi-Meihan Expressway (In-bound line) between Yokkaichi IC and Suzuka IC We will inform you that the provisional three lanes of the approximately 8km section will be operated in some sections at the same time as the completion of the refreshing work in Higashi Meihan / Mei-Nikan Expressway.
On-site, since November last year, we have been discussing with related organizations and people along the railway area, and started construction in March this year.
In the refreshment work of Higashi-Meihan Expressway, full-fledged construction such as pavement renewal is proceeding earnestly. Operation will start by June 10 when the refreshing work is completed.
The remaining section is currently under development with the aim of completing it by the summer of this year.
By extending the provisional three-lane operation section, traffic congestion near Yokkaichi IC is expected to be reduced, and punctuality and safety will be improved.
During the construction period, traffic jams are expected to occur temporarily, and we inconvenience our customers very much, but we ask for your understanding and cooperation.

[RIMS overall concept for improving safety and function of Expressway and improving productivity]

Introducing the road maintenance information system "RIMS" which is being reconstructed by our company. See page 1 of document 4.
Due to the aging of Expressway infrastructure, there is a concern that maintenance costs will increase and that there will be a shortage of engineers.
In order to ensure safety and improve reliability and productivity, the Group will introduce the latest technologies such as drones, sensor technology, and AI while improving the efficiency and sophistication of the maintenance management cycle for the entire Group. We aim to build a comprehensive maintenance system.
"RIMS" is composed of four systems: business processing, data management, management, and management support. We are rebuilding the previous systems with the aim of building a comprehensive maintenance system.
Please look at page 2.
The schedule for restructuring is that the construction of an inspection and repair work support system, one of the business processing systems, was completed in FY2016, and the remaining business processing systems, data management, and management will be completed by FY2019. We are rebuilding the support system.
At the same time, we are developing new technologies using drones and sensors.
In addition, by FY2020, we will formulate a plan for maintaining Expressway safely based on site inspections and data analysis that make use of ICT technologies such as IOT and AI.
Page 3 contains an overview of the inspection and repair work support system that has already been established.
This system has been constructed for the purpose of reliably recording inspection and repair data in maintenance and maintenance work, and for supporting business in formulating inspection and repair plans, and is composed of four main functions.
The main effects of the construction of this system are to improve the efficiency of recording work by introducing a GIS platform and tablets, and to improve the work efficiency by systematizing a series of business processes from inspection to repair.
Around July, we will collect and introduce drone and rope access, inspection technology for large bridge inspection vehicles, tablets, etc. locally.
We would like to invite the press to participate.

[New Bridge Training Bridge Inspector / Bridge Diagnostics Certified as "Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Registration Qualification"]

Next, please see document 5. Topics related to the technical training facility "New Bridge".
The New Bridge technical training facility will use bridges that have been removed or deteriorated due to bridge replacement in Japan, and will be used by local governments, consultants, and our engineers to conduct inspection training and deterioration of bridges. This is a training and research facility with the aim of learning and estimating predictions and diagnoses.
This facility is located on the premises of Nagoya University, and is jointly operated by Nagoya University, NEXCO CENTRAL and Companies in our Group, which is the Central Japan Highway Engineering Nagoya. People have taken training. Such a clinical training facility was the first in Japan at that time.
After conducting the examinations for the students, Nagoya University issued a pass certificate and a qualification, but it was regarded as a qualification as a private organization.
However, in order to properly maintain and renew the social capital stock, the quality of inspections and diagnostics is important, and it is necessary to evaluate and utilize the abilities of engineers involved in these. In 2014, a system was established to register as `` Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism registration qualifications '' so that qualifications with a certain level of technical ability recognized by private organizations etc. can be used for the work of national and local governments. Was.
The “New Bridge” is for students who have taken training and passed the judgment test.
"Bridge Inspector" who conducts inspection work and conducts detailed investigations
・ A “bridge diagnostician” who performs deterioration prediction and diagnosis
The Bridge Inspector has been registered as a “Bridge Inspector” since February 2016, and the “Bridge Diagnostics” has been registered as “Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Registration Qualification” since February 2017. The qualification institution is Nagoya University.
Holders of the "Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism registration qualification" are utilized in Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, such as being evaluated in the comprehensive evaluation bidding method when bidding for inspection work.
At present, there are about 20 qualifying institutions throughout Japan, including academic societies and universities, but New Bridge is the only clinical-type institution that has abundantly removed and degraded bridge members and is capable of inspection training.
In addition, we have included inspection training utilizing the New Bridge in our training curriculum for human resource development, and we intend to continue using it to improve our technical skills.
We will continue to provide training using the New Bridge and certify qualifications. In addition to qualification, there are also training courses to learn the knowledge of bridges and the basics of inspection, so we look forward to the participation of many engineers.
We will announce the training status to the press at a later date.

These are the topics we have prepared today.

MC

As other materials, we will also distribute materials on "Isewangan Expressway ToyotaMinami IC-Toyoake IC (Out-bound line) to regulate lanes continuously for day and night", so please check it. Now, let's receive your questions.

Reporter

In yesterday's morning edition of Shizuoka newspaper, Shin-Tomei Expressway of Kakegawa PA adjacent to, Kakegawa There was talk of building a second 2PA of the consolidated facility. It is very far from Tomei, so transportation is poor and there are good hot springs, but the planning of smart IC did not go well. We think that we will wrestle in cooperation with administration in future, but would like comment on this.

President

We know that there was a plan for a smart IC when constructing Shin-Tomei Expressway. The planned site is a place where there is a good hot spring called Kurama Onsen, and we think that it is useful for the promotion of the community to create a second PA and use it for everyone, so we will cooperate in the future You.

Reporter

For social experiment of roadside station from June 24, how long will you do?

Employee

There is no fixed end date. Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has heard that it will continue for the foreseeable future.

Reporter

Similarly, what can you do in one hour for a roadside station social experiment? For example, at the Mokuru Shinshiro Roadside Station, slowly soak in a footbath for about 30 minutes and buy local vegetables, or put a panel of local culture etc. and want to know about such things, go to the area What do you anticipate in terms of contributions to the project?

President

The original purpose is to use a section where the distance between SAs and PAs is 25 km or more, and if there is a roadside station adjacent to the Expressway a long section that exceeds it, use it. The purpose is that. There is a road station called "Mokru Shinshiro" in a section that is generally over 25 km, so at that road station, in addition to what was said earlier, use meals and breaks, etc., and also use a nearby gas station It is to have.

Reporter

The roadside station may be close to the Expressway SA or PA as a function, but the roadside station has a strong local color, so what kind of things you want to experience, not just a break, but also touch the locals more If you want or have any positive opinion, please let us know.

President

I don't want to talk about "Mokru Shinshiro" as it will be planned in the future.

Reporter

Originally, there are multiple detailed systems for road maintenance information systems, and what is the "RIMS" that has been rebuilt and regrouped. Isn't it okay to say that there was no RIMS ever?

President

The prototype of "RIMS" has been around for a long time. Although it has a history that has been created since the days of the Japan Highway Public Corporation, this article introduced today the conversion of independent systems into systems that are more efficient and productive in accordance with the way of working today. Is to build.

Reporter

You mentioned earlier that you have a plan around 2020. Is there a time to complete the system?

President

I would like to restructure it step by step according to the materials you have, so that it can be put into practical use by 2020.
Note that "RIMS" is a system, and separate from sensors and automated inspection systems. I haven't given a general name yet, so I'd like to give it a name someday.

MC

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