Japan also often suffers from heavy snowfalls

Post by JoyuntoExpate »

Uninterrupted and accident-free movement of vehicles and pedestrians, and hence the comfort and safety of the city as a whole, depends on the efficiency of snow removal. Over the past decades, different countries have made significant progress in ways to change the impact of snow on cities. Snow Navigator In December , in Kansas, Missouri, USA, the government implemented new technology to track the location of snowplows. This made snow removal in the city more efficient and economical. Any citizen can not only track online where work is currently being done to clear the streets, but also manage the route of special equipment.

The drivers of these vehicles see the messages on the monitors in their cabs and consumer email list head to clean up the snow. For example, in Niigata Prefecture, rainfall during the winter is a huge problem for local residents. But the Japanese would not be Japanese if they did not fight the snow with the help of a robot. The invention of Yuki-Taro looks like a children's car, but weighs kg. Moving through the streets on caterpillars, the robot literally swallows the snow. The unit operates completely autonomously. But thanks to satellite navigation and video cameras installed on board, Yuki-Taro knows his exact location and can identify obstacles.

The robot moves at a speed of no more than five meters per minute, so it does not pose a danger to pedestrians. The most interesting thing is not even this, but what Yuki-Taro does with the snow he swallowed - it is rammed into briquettes using a special device inside the car. The white formed cubes exit from the back and are stored in a special area. Another example of how modern technology makes snow removal easier. Hanyang Robotics has developed a "snow robot", which is a snowplow controlled by iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The device, resembling a large vacuum cleaner, can be used to clean sidewalks, driveways, and paths. Snowbot is powered by lithium-ion batteries.
