Development of next-generation road services on SMARTWAY project

In Japan, efforts are being made to promote SMARTWAY next-generation roadways, which incorporate a variety of services using advanced ITS technologies. One of the efforts of the National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM) of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in recent years is to carry out public-private joint research on next-generation ITS services using ITS technologies. NILIM has also carried out SMARTWAY Demo 2006, a proving ground for reporting and publicizing the research results. SMARTWAY 2007 Demo in Tokyo is set to be held as starting point in aiming to realize the trial operation of next-generation services from autumn 2007 onward. This paper covers the efforts being made in order to realize next-generation ITS services. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
