REA Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "REA") has provided its AI on-demand transportation system "Noruuu-Sharing" to the mobility service "Kanmobi Move After-School Pick-up Service (Pilot Service)" planned by Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc.

■ Purpose and Background
In recent years, with the increase in dual-income households, the burden on parents for picking up and dropping off children for after-school lessons on weekdays, known as the "pick-up barrier," has become a serious social issue. The current situation often leads to "loss of career development opportunities" due to parents having to leave work early for pick-ups, and "loss of learning opportunities" for children due to restrictions on transportation options.
Kansai Electric Power's "Kanmobi Move After-School Pick-up Service (Pilot Service)" is an initiative to resolve these family constraints, expand the possibilities for parents and children, and bring more flexibility to daily life. By introducing REA's "Noruuu-Sharing" into this service, it has become possible to create optimal routes in real-time and operate efficient ride-sharing.
