Introduction – Japan’s ITS Safety & Sustainability are big issues Disaster-prone & congestion-prone Public sectors have taken the lead by Infra-based systems Since 1970, road & traffic management has utilized large-scale data obtained by infra sensors Provided also to travelers & drivers as traffic info ETC started in 2001, covering nationwide toll roads Active member of ISO/TC204 since its creation

Players in the National Gov. Cabinet Office Policy planning, Strategic budget allocation National Police Agency Traffic control, safety & regulations Ministry of Internal Affairs & Coms ICT strategies, Radio resources allocation Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Industries, Technologies & Standards Ministry of Land, Infra, Transport & Tourism Road construction & operation, Toll roads Public transport, Vehicle homologation

Road Traffic Info Delivery Data Collection Process, Provision Control & Management Secondary Process & Provision Citizens Road Administrator 1960s - Travelers Drivers VMS 1996 - Veh OBU VICS 1970 - Probe-based Transport ISP　 \ 2003 - Probes Broadcast, Web JARTIC \ Traffic Administrator (Police) ￥ \ ISP 1960s - VMS

Probe-based services By vehicle manufactures, since 2003 Honda, Toyota, Nissan, & NAVI operators Using cellular coms, among member vehicles Big data processed into value-added drivers’ info Private data be integrated for public purposes Disaster relief routes, Accident blackspots … By MLIT, since 2011 (ETC 2.0) Using DSRC (ETC+I2V info exchange) at 1600 spots in 2016 mainly on expressway network

Private data integration for Public Utilizing probe vehicle traces finding ‘passable routes’ for disaster relief activities. Kyushu quake first hit at 2126h 4/14/2016. ITS Japan responded by probe data integration. Vehicle trace data contributed by Honda, Pioneer, Toyota, Nissan, Fujitsu, Isuzu, and UD trucks. Passenger vehicle traces 4/16 0800h-1100h Heavy vehicle traces 4/15 0000h-2400h Source: ITS Japan : 4/16/2016

Road traffic accidents Road infra improvements Fatalities Veh safety Driver protection Accidents Autonomous vehicles Source: NPA Note : Fatalities are # of persons died within 24 hours after accidents.

Safety & Sustainability in Aging JP Road traffic accidents still persist More than half of fatalities are elders “Mobility” is emerging issues in Japan, esp. for aging society & increasing foreign visitors PT e-payment integration may be a good practice PT service level is acceptable in dense urban areas, not in suburb or rural areas Car-sharing & Ride-sharing are less common Autonomous vehicles are promising for elder transportation poors

E-payment integration PT e-ticketing 87 M IC cards issued by 78 PT operators (2015) Independently issued, but most of them are interoperable PT fare + Purchases at retailers One of the major e-payment media nationwide Automatically topped-up by linking CC accounts Japan Railways based Card Non-Japan Railways based Card

Vehicle Safety Sells 1960s Car ownership boomed 1990s Driver protection & safety support devices accepted Seat belts, Airbags, Side-impact protections Anti-lock braking, high-mount stop-lamp 2010s Level 1 active safety options preferred Adaptive cruise control, Automatic braking 2016- Level 2 vehicles on the market

For further advanced ITS National Gov launched strategic initiatives Policy for ITS/Automated driving Innovation Strategic Innovation Promotion (SIP) Program “Public-Private ITS Initiative/Roadmaps 2016” Automated driving systems R&Ds & demos, regulations & standards for deployments Traffic big data platforms Dynamic Maps, Traffic-related open data Privacy and security issues Social acceptance
