OVERVIEW OF THE VERTIS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

In the Vehicle, Road and Traffic Intelligence Society (VERTIS) system architecture, 19 items in 9 fields of user services that should be realized by intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have been selected. Population density and geographical conditions of Japan contribute to some characteristics of the selected services. For example, mixed traffic is common on streets; pedestrians and two-wheeled vehicles must be considered. Another example is that in Japan, several highly populated areas are vulnerable to great disasters, such as earthquakes and typhoons. The countermeasures against disasters must be included in the systems. Compatibility, expandability, integratability, flexibility, and appropriate allocation of functions are the prerequisites for the selected user services to be realized. They form a network of vehicle and infrastructure ITS facilities linking home and office. Wide use of in-vehicle navigation systems and development of the vehicle information and communication system (VICS) road traffic information service are progressing, and their use and development were considered during the drafting of the system architecture.
