Logistics delivery using autonomous flight drone, demonstration experiment in Munakata City | Forefront of new public-private partnership | PPP town development

Torbizon (Fukuoka City), which operates the sky sharing service "Sora: Share" that connects drone users and land owners for safe flight of drones, will jointly launch a drone with Munakata City, Fukuoka Prefecture on March 6. Conduct a demonstration experiment of the used logistics delivery.

With the cooperation of AEON Kyushu, a series of flows from responding to orders for daily necessities from residents, delivering goods by vehicle to the drone takeoff point, transshipping goods to drones, and transporting goods to residents by autonomous flight of drones. To verify.

The aircraft to be used is "M300" made by DJI of China. The load capacity is about 1 kg, and relatively lightweight items such as daily necessities are planned. For the safe flight of the drone, the route laying (design and setting of the flight route) will be done on Sorashare. In addition, pilots will be on standby at the takeoff and landing points, and only takeoff and landing will be switched to manual flight.

The landing point of the drone will be the Munakata City Jiyugaoka Junior High School ground, and the takeoff point will be a material storage area about 700m away from the junior high school in a straight line. The plan is to fly autonomously over the waterway (Asamachi River) that flows between the two points. The flight route is about 1km, the flight time is about 10 minutes, and the number of flights is two.

In Munakata City, half a century has passed since its development, and we are working on a housing complex rehabilitation project that is aging and declining in population. Based on the concept of "a society where services move closer to people," the lifestyle of people moving to commercial facilities and stores has changed to "commercial facilities and stores moving to people and providing services." Conducted a demonstration project of "Shop Mobility".

For three months from October 2021, mobile stores such as kitchen cars gathered in the park in the Jiyugaoka district, and it was well received by more than 2,500 people. This demonstration experiment of drone logistics delivery will be a part of this, and the first workshop will be held on the day to exchange opinions with the residents of the area. Going forward, we will continue the demonstration project aimed at improving the convenience of residents and improving the quality of life.
