A.L.I. Drone Delivery Tests in Rural Kochi

Akihabara News (Tokyo) — A.L.I. Technologies successfully conducted drone demonstration experiments to support an isolated town in Shimanto town, Kochi Prefecture.

Like many rural areas in Japan, Shimanto is grappling with an aging population, and one aspect of this reality is that many residents have turned in their driving licenses and no longer have access to automobiles.

This has led to poorer access to shopping facilities; a challenge both for daily life and in emergency situations.

Moreover, in Shimanto town there is only one road to connecting the Okitsu area and the Higashimata area, and landslides block traffic from time to time, exacerbating the need for alternative transportation options.

The drone in this experiment utilized A.L.I.’s original drone control system C.O.S.M.O.S. and was connected to the flight information management system.

The test gauged whether or not it is possible to operate a safe, secure, and stable drone system even in areas where LTE is weak, such as in mountainous areas. The conclusion was that these aims can indeed be achieved.
