Overview
Currently, it is said that more than 3,000 incidents of road cave-ins occur annually in Japan. Many such incidents are caused by the deterioration of underground pipes, such as sewage
pipes and rainwater pipes. This is because water leaks into the ground from broken pipes or loose joints, which erodes the surrounding ground and creates cavities that cause cave-ins.
If a road caves in, there is a danger of serious accidents involving falling people and vehicles. Furthermore, firefighting and rescue activities will be greatly hindered if roads
become unusable in an emergency, such as an accident or disaster.
By using exploration vehicles equipped with ground penetrating radar for detecting cavities under roads, OYO Corporation provides a service to prevent cave-ins by using non-destructive
methods to detect cavities under roads.
Features
Scans cavities inside roads at intervals of 2.5 cm even at 80km / h
Underground radar is a technology that can identify dangerous voids and buried pipes by irradiating electromagnetic waves from above roads. Our voids exploration vehicles can investigate the road at a high density of only 2.5cm intervals even when driving at speeds of 80 km per hour.
100% cavity detection (recall rate) using AI
OYO Corporation is the first in the industry to develop automatic cavity analysis technology using AI (artificial intelligence). We utilize this technology in our exploration
service.
Analyze the huge amount of measured data acquired while driving in almost real time, and the voids reproducibility (discernment of the voids) is 100% accuracy.
The
use of AI improves survey accuracy and significantly shortens the time required to analyze cavities. This contributes to the early implementation of countermeasures and reduced
risk of accidents due to cave-ins.
