No. 4: Development of a mobility social experiment Digital Twin incorporating geospatial information and pseudo people flow data

R&D Technical Issues ⑩ Construction of a cyber-physical road space digital system infrastructure (digital sandbox) to realize safe, comfortable, and affluent mobility
Project Overview This research and development focuses on the realization of "newly redefined" mobility, and aims to realize a new vision of safe, comfortable, affluent and vibrant mobility in which pedestrians and micromobility smoothly mix and coexist with various types of vehicles and public transport. In order to realize this, the project establishes "digital sandbox" technology, a mechanism for embodying street spaces including various urban structure data, mobility vehicles, pedestrians and digital virtual spaces, and simulating on digital space in order to efficiently and effectively proceed the planning stage, facilitate consensus building among stakeholders and proceed administrative procedures.
