No. 5: Development of a new mobility-oriented city with an agglomeration of Places for Social Exchange

R&D Technical Issues ② Development of local mobility diagnostic guidelines and mobility re-design simulation model
⑥ Tactical mobility re-design practices
⑩ Construction of a cyber-physical road space digital system infrastructure (digital sandbox) to realize safe, comfortable, and affluent mobility
⑫ Extraction of requirements for vehicles, infrastructure that contribute to re-design
Project Overview This research and development will redefine public transport from local mobility resources by developing mobility diagnostic guidelines and simulation models for the redefinition and implementation of local mobility, and promote the actual deployment of tactical mobility re-design through the introduction and use of new mobility services. Furthermore, this project aims to realize a mobility-oriented city with an agglomeration for social exchange through the mobility re-design by building a digital twin sandbox as a cyber-physical road space digital system, evaluating the effectiveness and economic efficiency of introducing new mobility in cyberspace, and studying requirements for the re-design of new vehicles for public transport and infrastructure.
