Koushou Logistics and CARRO JAPAN, a joint venture between SoftBank and Trusty Cars Pte. Ltd. (CARRO), will jointly host a "Safe Driving Contest" from early December to March 31st of next year as a new initiative to encourage a change in drivers' awareness and behavior.
<Jointly hosting a safe driving contest>
CARRO JAPAN is a tech company that supports companies in optimizing their vehicle management and operations by utilizing its proprietary AI technology to collect and analyze vehicle data and visualize operational status.
Koushou Logistics has established a delivery network with eight locations nationwide and approximately 600 drivers, and operates its transportation business with its own unique training and quality control system.
The contest targets drivers of Koushou Logistics, with CARRO JAPAN using daily driving data and AI to quantitatively evaluate drivers' safe driving and eco-driving, and awarding outstanding drivers.
By using data-driven safety evaluations to visualize the "quality" of driving, the system streamlines previously manual safe driving management tasks. A key feature is its potential to improve driver motivation and delivery quality. The aim is also to create a model case for light freight transport that combines safety, productivity, and environmental friendliness by utilizing data from next-generation vehicles, including EVs and fuel-efficient vehicles.
The data and insights gained through the contest will be used to develop a continuous safe driving education program that can be expanded to other locations and partner companies.
