TOKYO -- Apps that use geographical data to suggest safe, optimal, and the most efficient routes could help ease expected bottlenecks from a new law limiting truck drivers' hours, said the president and CEO of a Japanese mapping databank company.
Geographical data proves useful to solving logistics management issues, according to GeoTechnologies President and CEO Hiroshige Sugihara. "Looking at maps and for example, at the movement of things, the movement of people, at how traffic is moving... [it allows us to think,] 'So what should we do to relieve the traffic?' Reducing traffic alone can drastically decrease our CO2 emissions," he said in an exclusive interview with Nikkei Asia on the sidelines of the annual two-day Global Management Dialogue forum organized by Nikkei and Swiss business school IMD.
