In January, heavy snow caused people to become stranded on the Meishin Expressway in Gifu Prefecture. The Central Japan Expressway has compiled emergency countermeasures to prevent a recurrence.
"watchers" will be stationed to check the road surface and vehicle driving conditions using images from cameras installed on the expressway. In the event of a stranded vehicle, we plan to have personnel on standby at service areas or interchanges near the section where the stranded vehicle may occur, to quickly deliver food and fuel to drivers.
