Headline: Panasonic Connect to Provide a Wide Range of Solutions Including Biometric Authentication and AI Sensing at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan towards the Realization of a Sustainable Society
Since 2023, our company has been participating in a ‘field experiment on a new road traffic monitoring method’ being conducted by the Osaka National Highway Office of the Kinki Regional Development Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and a social experiment is scheduled for 2025 on roads around the Osaka and Kansai Expo sites. This experiment is implementing road traffic monitoring using AI image sensing technology and drones. The traffic conditions sensed by the AI image sensing system are shared in real time with other locations, which leads to more efficient traffic management. In the 2024 social experiment, we are in charge of the AI image sensing and the promotion of the experiment, and we are collaborating with NTT e-Drone Technology Co., Ltd. for the provision and operation of drones and with Soliton Systems K.K. for the video transmission system.
