JBP has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with World Road Association (PIARC). PIARC is the oldest non-profit international organization in the field of road transport with the objective of promoting and developing international cooperation in the field of roads and road transport.

The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to formalize the relationship between the two Associations in working with the Disaster Management Manual developed by PIARC Technical Committee 1.5 "Disaster Management".
The PIARC Disaster Management Manual provides guidance on effective strategies and methods for managing various disasters on the road network. It presents basic concepts and case studies of lessons learned and experiences gained from putting these concepts into practice. JBP supported the development of this manual by providing information on new disaster management technologies.

Today, we introduce about the activity of Challenge Co., Ltd. which deal with seismometers with network and alarm system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are a company that manufactures disaster prevention and crime prevention products.
We are developing our business with our main products being the EQ guard, an earthquake early warning device with a built-in sensor, and the school guard and hospital guard, which are wireless emergency call systems.

 
１．EQ guard, an earthquake early warning device with a built-in sensor.

The EQ guard uses a high-performance built-in sensor to notify you of an earthquake before a large tremor occurs.


Product features
A built-in sensor directly detects the preliminary tremors of an earthquake and immediately notifies the occurrence of an earthquake.
English, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Persian, Turkish, Chinese, Korean
It supports 10 languages, Indonesian and Portuguese.
It can be displayed on the map in real time on the PC screen.
Seismic intensity forecasts and grace times at each site can be displayed and managed in a list.


Community alarm system
 
The EQ guard works by itself. At the same time, you can install multiple units and connect to a data center via the Internet to build a regional earthquake / tsunami warning system.
When an earthquake occurs, the EQ guard near the epicenter detects the P wave and sends the information to the data center. The epicenter is identified based on the information collected in the data center, and the magnitude, depth, and latitude / longitude are delivered to each terminal. The terminal calculates the seismic intensity and the number of seconds of arrival from the epicenter information and issues an alarm.

The information gathered from each EQ guard can display real-time waveforms through the server.
