Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Nursing care stations, for home visit circuits; tend not to be situated in rural and remote areas of heavy snowfall. The reasons for this are principally financial, deriving from movement and timing problems causing cost increases through inefficiency. Other difficulties arise because the nurses must manually prepare delivery records. Furthermore, environmental intelligence about the detailed impact of any heavy snowfall episode and of its consequent movement problems tends to be poor. A system has now been developed that automates much of the information required to overcome these constraints, including determination of optimal visiting routes and 'duration of stay' at any one place. These advances are achieved by use of GPS and RFID data.
