SuperMap GeoAI Technology Successfully Commercializes JHS Ground Assessment Prediction Model
Japan Home Shield Corporation (JHS), a leading residential ground investigation company, has successfully commercialized the JHS ground evaluation prediction model using SuperMap iServer GeoAI technology based on ground investigation and analysis data from millions of homes nationwide. This marks an important step toward construction DX（Digital Transformation）and has attracted significant attention.
From Spatial Big Data to GeoAI
The Ground Support Map, which uses spatial big data from ground survey and analysis, has been highly acclaimed and featured in many media including NHK since it started operation in 2018. We also provide OEM to Kokumin Kyosai co-op and CO-OP Kasai, and are positioning this system as an important system for disaster prevention and mitigation.
In Japan, where earthquakes are a major cause of damage to the ground, understanding the ground is the first step to building a safe home. The results of the study were as follows. Although it was difficult to improve prediction accuracy with general-purpose AI, we created a unique prediction model combining a large amount of ground analysis data and geographic information, and by introducing spatial analysis and GeoAI extension modules of SuperMap iServer, we were able to achieve the expected results. This effort is an example of progress from spatial big data to GeoAI, and a major step forward for construction DX.
What JHS Geotechnical evaluation Predictions Can Do - First Steps to Construction DX
The JHS geotechnical evaluation forecast consists of three pillars.
Service for the general public: " Ground Support Map" (https://nlftp.mlit.go.jp/ksj/case_studies.html, an example of the use of National Land Information, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism) is available.
Services for businesses: Based on the general public, we are developing Ground Support Maps and land information reports for businesses. We provide a service that enables professionals to obtain geotechnical information prior to construction or land acquisition.
Analysis and decision support using AI: In the past, services for businesses were able to acquire necessary information, but subsequent analysis and decision-making had to be done by the users themselves. This time, by using AI, analysis and judgment can be performed more efficiently.
Why the JHS Ground Assessment Prediction Model is preferred? - Testimonial from Hideaki Obi, Executive Officer and General Manager, Business Development Division, Japan Home Shield Corporation
The quality of the ground is one of the most important factors in eva1uating the property value of land and buildings. Also, in the case of investment and development, whether ground improvement is necessary for construction and, if so, how much it will cost, are important items for planning. Currently, when such geotechnical information is ascertained prior to a geotechnical investigation, it is estimated by a person based on experience, nearby geotechnical investigation data, topography, and other information. The JHS Ground evaluation and Prediction Model solves these problems and makes it possible to predict the condition of the ground more quickly and accurately. We believe that this information service is expected to be utilized in land purchase and investment decisions. We have succeeded in commercializing this service in a short period of time by collaborating with the technology of SuperMap Japan.
