OKI, SOMPO Risk Management, and Sompo Japan Jointly Promote Demonstration Experiment for Driver Management and Safe Driving Support Service for SMEs Utilizing ETC2.0 Probe Data
Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (OKI), SOMPO Risk Management Inc., and Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. are jointly conducting a demonstration experiment for a driver management and safe driving support service aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the logistics and transportation industries. This service utilizes ETC2.0 probe data, including driving history and dangerous behaviors, which is collected and visualized using OKI's "LocoMobii 2.0" cloud service. By leveraging existing ETC2.0 in-vehicle devices, the service aims to be introduced at a low cost. The demonstration experiment is scheduled from October 2025 to the end of April 2026, after which considerations for a full-scale release will begin. The objective is to contribute to solving industry challenges such as driver shortages and rising fuel costs, supporting the realization of safe and efficient transportation.

OKI, SOMPO Risk Management, and Sompo Japan are collaborating on a demonstration experiment for a driver management and safe driving support service targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the logistics and transportation sectors. This service leverages ETC2.0 probe data, including driving history and dangerous behaviors like sudden braking, which is collected and visualized using OKI's "LocoMobii 2.0" cloud service. The experiment, which began in October 2025, is set to conclude by the end of April 2026, after which the companies will evaluate a full-scale launch. The initiative aims to provide an affordable solution by utilizing existing ETC2.0 in-vehicle devices, thereby reducing the burden of new equipment costs and installation. This is intended to help address critical industry challenges such as driver shortages and rising fuel costs, promoting safer and more efficient transportation operations.
