Intelligent Transport Systems

Implementing a sophisticated and affluent automobile society

The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) makes automobiles and the road traffic infrastructure intellectual and information-oriented in an integrated way to provide a safe and comfortable traffic system.

Technologies must be developed with a clear vision of a motorized society as a whole in cooperation with many related parties to promote a smart and rich motorized society, while responding to social issues such as the decreasing birth rate, aging, environment and safety problems in a rapidly developing networked society.

JARI is discussing visions for the new motorized society in a networked community. At the same time, we proposes specific systems such as a probe information system to realize the new motorized society, conducing research and development in cooperation with enginners in various field, and verifying social experiments.

In addition, JARI is engaged in research that seeks to improve safety while driving and to promote a smooth traffic environment. The research includes driving tests and experiments with a driving simulator to investigate ITS functions and human interfaces in relation to providing information and hazard warnings for safe driving and assisting drivers. Research is also in progress on a traffic flow simulation model for evaluating how ITS smoothes traffic.

Furthermore, JARI continuously supports inernational standardization activity for the ITS such as ISO / TC204 by conducing survey of driving behavior and evaluation tests that are necessary for drawing up standards.
