The revision of the Road Traffic Law in April 2022 will make it mandatory to visually check drivers before and after driving to determine whether or not they are under the influence of alcohol. It is estimated that approximately 350,000 businesses and 8.08 million drivers under their control throughout Japan will be subject to this requirement (National Police Agency summary, March 2022), and many companies are under pressure to comply with the new mandate.

Buddy Net has been providing a 24/7/365 manned alcohol check service. The Alcohol Check Service is a service that enables real-time alcohol checks 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by having a contact center perform pre-driving alcohol checks on behalf of safe driving managers. The service has been highly evaluated by users because it reduces the workload of safe driving managers, especially in situations such as early mornings, nights, and direct return trips.

Background of service collaboration

The alcohol check service at the Contact Center has been faced with the issue of ensuring accuracy due to checks being conducted at remote locations. This time, we have linked up with Triple Eyes, which has been providing the "AIZE Breath" alcohol detection system using AI facial recognition, to provide a one-stop service for companies facing challenges with alcohol checks, offering alcohol checks using a detector and telephone confirmation, thereby achieving both high quality and low cost. This will enable companies facing challenges with alcohol checks to realize both high quality and low cost.

Comments from representatives of both companies

Reiichiro Hori, President and Representative Director Buddy Net

One of the key points of the recent legal revision is that real-time third-party verification is required, and we were concerned about the large burden on personnel in charge of handling this and the costs associated with it. We believe that our efforts with Triple Eyes will help to eliminate these concerns and will be a major step toward solving the social issue of eliminating drunk driving.

Yuichiro Yamada, Representative Director, Triple Eyes Inc.

Through this service collaboration with BuddyNet, we are now ready to support user companies in further improving business efficiency and ensuring safety. We hope that this will lead to the elimination of drunk driving.
