Mobility

The government will promote the digitalisation of semi-public sector (mobility), which is closely related to people's daily lives and in which the involvement of the national government is significant and which has a large ripple effect on other private sectors, and work on the development of systems for the coordination and utilization of data. Through these efforts, the government will realize an affluent life for the Japanese people by providing optimal services that meet individual needs.

Overview

In the field of mobility in Japan, securing the freedom of means of transportation for each citizen, reducing traffic accidents, eliminating the shortage of human resources due to the low birth rate and aging population, reducing environmental impact through more efficient distribution and people's flow, improving convenience for consumers, and strengthening the international competitiveness of related industries are urgent issues.

In addition to autonomous driving, new mobility services using digital technology are spreading, such as the development of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and on-demand transportation, and the emergence of new transportation methods such as drones and automatic delivery robots.

Based on this, Digital Agency will promote the design and implementation of a Architecture for the entire digital transportation society that will realize the future vision, while working together with the public and private sectors to draw a future vision for high-value-added and efficient use of space for all modes of transportation, from people to objects, from walking to flying, and developing rules for data sharing, collaboration, and utilization.

"The Future of the Digital Transportation Society 2022" was decided.

Published: August 2, 2022
At the 4th Meeting for the Promotion of a Digital Society Executive Board Meeting held on August 1, 2022, the "Future of the Digital Transportation Society 2022" was decided.
"The Future of the Digital Transportation Society 2022" is an evolutionary continuation of the "Public-Private ITS Concept and Roadmap," which is a government-wide strategy for ITS and autonomous driving, from the perspective of how to envision the future of the digital transportation society.
With the aim of "advancing the advancement of mobility" as set forth in "Priority Plan for the Realization of a Digital Society" (approved by the Cabinet on June 7, 2022), the government and the private sector will work together to advance the necessary technological development, transportation infrastructure development, and institutional development.

We received a progress report from IPA (Information-Technology Promotion Agency, Japan) on the study of a mechanism for linking information processing systems related to mobility (Architecture)

Published: September 27, 2022
Digital Agency asked IPA to specify a future vision in which autonomous mobile robots will be used and lead to the resolution of social issues and the development of industry, and to study a mechanism (Architecture) for the cooperation of multiple related information processing systems with different operators and managers for the operation of autonomous mobile robots.
At the Digital Architecture Design Center (DADC), which consists of a group of experts working as a bridge between the public and private sectors, IPA held the "Autonomous Mobile Robot Future Vision Study Meeting" and the "3 d Spatial Information Infrastructure Architecture Study Meeting" with the support of related ministries and agencies, and proceeded with the study of Architecture designs. Based on the progress of the study so far, IPA compiled the "Autonomous Mobile Robot Architecture Design Report" and the "3 d Spatial Information Infrastructure Architecture Design Report", and made a progress report to Digital Agency.
Based on this progress report, the relevant ministries and agencies are planning demonstration projects, and DADC is planning to refine the Architecture based on the results of the demonstration projects.
