Recent progress of R&D on the next generation ITS in Japan

ITS, which has steadily spread in Japan, is now an effective tool for solving social issues, including traffic congestion and environmental problems. In August 2004, a proposal titled "ITS Enter the second stage" was prepared by the Smartway Project Advisory Committee. This proposal claimed that varied ITS services to be offered in the second stage should form part of social activities in communities, and contribute to solution of problems that the communities are encountering. Responding to the proposal, the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM) conducted "Joint Research on systems to provide Next-Generation Road Services" which is research on technology for ITS On-Board Unit (OBU) and road side systems cooperatively with 23 private companies from February 25, 2005 until March 31, 2006, in order to create an in-car environment permitting the use of diverse services with a single OBU in 2007. As part of the outcomes of the final achievements of the joint research, "Smartway Open Field Test Demo 2006" was held at the test course at NILIM in Tsukuba City from February 2006. This report describes the joint research and Demo2006.
