[GLOCAL-EYEZ] has successfully passed the "National Road Automatic Measurement Device Performance Test" in China for the fiscal year 2022.
WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT OUR ROAD INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY GLOCAL-EYEZ HAS PASSED THE NATIONAL AUTOMATIC ROAD MEASURING DEVICE PERFORMANCE TEST ("NATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST") CONDUCTED IN CHINA. GLOCAL-EYEZ IS THE FIRST VEHICLE USING TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE COMPLETED ONLY WITH A SMARTPHONE TO PASS THE NATIONAL PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION TEST IN CHINA. ■OVERVIEW OF THE "NATIONAL ROAD AUTOMATIC MEASURING DEVICE PERFORMANCE TEST "IN THE "NATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST," A LOCAL RENTAL CAR EQUIPPED WITH A SINGLE SMARTPHONE WAS DRIVEN AS USUAL TO PERFORM MEASUREMENTS. THIS WAS THE FIRST ROAD SURFACE INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY TO PASS THE LOCAL "NATIONAL PERFORMANCE TEST" IN CHINA THAT DID NOT REQUIRE SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT AND COULD THUS BE COMPLETED USING ONLY A SMARTPHONE. THE RESULTS SHOW THE HIGH LEVEL AND USEFULNESS OF THE TECHNOLOGY, WITH A WIDE RANGE OF ITEMS PASSING THE TEST, INCLUDING "CRACK RATE," "WIDTH OF THE ROAD," "REPRODUCIBILITY AT EACH SPEED," "CAMERA RESOLUTION," AND "IRI. IN RECENT YEARS, NEW TYPES OF ROAD SURFACE INSPECTION TECHNOLOGIES UTILIZING SMARTPHONES AND DRIVE RECORDERS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED ONE AFTER ANOTHER AROUND THE WORLD IN RESPONSE TO THE RAPID PROGRESS OF AI TECHNOLOGY AND THE TREND TOWARD DX. COMPETITION TO DEVELOP SUCH CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES AND TO CAPTURE MARKETS IN THESE FIELDS IS INTENSIFYING. AGAINST THIS BACKDROP, IT IS NECESSARY TO RESPOND QUICKLY AND FLEXIBLY TO THE CUSTOMIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY TO MEET LOCAL REQUIREMENTS WHEN EXPANDING OVERSEAS. IN ADDITION, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO CONFIRM THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE LOCAL MARKET BY PARTICIPATING IN LOCAL ACCREDITATION TESTS, AND TO FURTHER IMPROVE THE TECHNOLOGY BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THESE TESTS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE FURTHER EFFORTS TO CONTRIBUTE TO ROAD INSPECTIONS AROUND THE WORLD BY SPREADING THE TECHNOLOGY ORIGINATING IN JAPAN TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.
