Kajima Corporation Utilizes BRJ's TOCKLE in Hiroshima Kure Road's Koyaura Tunnel Construction (Case Study)

BRJ Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hidetaka Miyouchi; hereinafter 'BRJ'), which operates safety-focused electric mobility solutions to address 'transportation deserts' in regional areas, has delivered its next-generation mobility device 'TOCKLE' to the construction site of the 'Hiroshima Kure Road – Koyaura Tunnel and One Other Tunnel Project,' currently being executed by Kajima Corporation in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

TOCKLE (Two-Wheeled)

Background and Benefits of Implementation

Previously, automobiles were primarily used for transportation within the construction site and its related facilities. However, issues such as limited parking space and difficulties in scheduling drivers often led to waiting times. Since the introduction of 'BIRD' and 'TOCKLE,' employees can now move independently as needed, significantly improving mobility efficiency.

Rental Services

BRJ offers rental plans suitable for various applications, including tourist activities, transportation across large premises such as factories and parks, and delivery vehicles.

Key Features

- Proven Domestic Implementation Track Record

BRJ’s electric kick scooters are already in use by numerous clients, including major Japanese corporations. The company provides reliable vehicles and systems, ensuring a secure and trustworthy deployment experience.

- Safe Operations Enabled by Advanced Technology

By leveraging geofencing technology, BRJ enables automatic stopping in prohibited zones and low-speed operation in designated slow zones. This supports operational models that prioritize safety above all else.

- Customizable Data Reporting

By visualizing previously invisible movement during work hours, BRJ enables data-driven analysis for operational improvements.

TOCKLE’s Commitment to Safety

- Focus on Rural Areas, Not Urban Centers

Buses and railways face deficits, service reductions, and driver shortages, placing rural transportation at a critical juncture. TOCKLE aims to resolve these 'transportation deserts' in regional areas. Compared to urban environments, rural areas typically have lower traffic volumes and wider roads, making them safer for mobility operations. For these two reasons—solving local challenges and ensuring safety—TOCKLE focuses its deployment primarily on rural regions.

- Preventing Entry into Hazardous Zones via Geofencing

TOCKLE is equipped with a safety system called 'geofencing,' which uses GPS to detect travel zones and automatically stops the vehicle upon entering restricted areas. Municipalities can flexibly define 'no-entry zones' based on local conditions.

- Full Ban on Nighttime Operations

In the electric mobility industry, it is common knowledge that 'nights are peak earning hours,' as users often rely on these vehicles for long-distance commutes after missing the last train. However, this also increases the risk of intoxicated riding. Prioritizing safety over profit, TOCKLE completely prohibits nighttime operations in all regions.
