Ubiquitous ITS R&D Project Utilizing the Various Wireless Media

In the coming ubiquitous network era, the motor vehicles, like the other devices, are expected to be networked. This provides a new data stream connecting the pedestrians, vehicles and roads each other, which can be used for the safe drive, congestion avoidance and environment protection. Aiming at those, six companies including KDDI R&D Laboratories jointly conducted their R&D on “Ubiquitous ITS,” funded by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) for three fiscal-years since 2005. With its focus on the utilizations of various wireless media, the research conducted on the three main areas of (1) vehicle-to-vehicle and -roadside communications, (2) telematics service enhancements and (3) traffic information distributions over a terrestrial digital broadcasting. This paper reports the research activities conducted by them and their outcome.
