Achieved a Significant Reduction in Kerosene Consumption

Road heating that won’t stop even when kerosene prices skyrocket. With
Tokepita-kun, kerosene consumption has been significantly reduced thanks to efficient operation enabled by automatic control and various other features.

Identifying Snow-Melt Areas Using QR Codes

With the patented “QR Snow Depth Detection” feature of Toke-Pita-kun, which automatically determines snow-free areas with accuracy comparable to visual inspection,
it enables efficient automatic operation with existing road heating systems.
Toke-Pita-kun's Autonomous Driving Flow
In addition to the road heating sensors, “Toke-Pita-kun's” “QR Snow Depth Detection” enables efficient automated operation.
Manual operation (wall-mounted remote control, smartphone) can be performed regardless of the individual sensors.

Remote Control via Smartphone

You can control it from anywhere while viewing real-time video on your smartphone

Scheduler Function

By setting on and off times, you can reduce unnecessary operation.
On/Off Timer Settings Available
You can set the schedule in advance to suspend operation late at night, on days when the company or facility is closed, or on other days when it is not in use.
Shift Nighttime Driving to Daytime
Snow melts more efficiently during the day, when the difference between the air temperature and the road surface temperature is minimal, than at night when the road surface temperature drops.

Optional Features

LINE Notifications About Driving Status

It sends a message with a photo via LINE when the vehicle starts or stops, which is effective for manual intervention during autonomous driving.

Extending the Service Life of Snowfall Sensors

This design prevents wear and tear from concentrating in a single area of the sensor and ensures even wear across the entire sensor, thereby extending its service life.
Extending the Service Life of Snowfall Sensors
Operating Under Worn Conditions Due to a Faulty Sensor
  • ●Sensor response will deteriorate, making delays in startup and malfunctions more likely to occur.
  • ●There is a risk that kerosene consumption could surge due to insufficient snow melting and inefficient operation.
*Results may vary depending on the actual signs of sensor degradation.
