No. 8: Building smart districts with advanced mobility systems

R&D Technical Issues ⑪ Development of mobility-enabled services on urban OS
⑫ Extraction of requirements for vehicles, infrastructure that contribute to re-design
⑬ Social systemization of automated driving
⑰ Promoting international collaboration
⑱ Practical surveys (action research) and dissemination development activities to typify and identify areas utilizing local mobility resources
Project Overview The purpose of this R&D is to create a "Smart District" that facilitates intra-district transportation and access to mainline public transportation by enhancing mobility services in the district and reducing automobile traffic in the district, with the aim of realizing a society where people can move freely and independently without using their personal cars. Specifically, the project will provide smart local mobility services connected to mobility hubs, develop and socialize automated vehicles for intra-district transportation, and develop accessibility indicators for the district with smart mobility in mind. As a test bed for the Smart District, the project will conduct demonstrations and address social implementation in the Kozoji New Town in Kasugai City and the Kira and Hazu coast areas in Nishio City.
Partners Nagoya University
