Abstract

Transportation, including automobiles and railroads, is an essential social infrastructure that transports large numbers of people and goods from point to point and generates the flow of people and goods. Legacy transportation systems are primarily driven and operated by people, and computer technology has been used to support people by reducing human load, improving safety, and increasing control efficiency. However, with recent advances in information and communication technology, there is growing momentum to actively utilize IoT in the transportation sector. For example, various uses of IoT have been proposed and some have been put to practical use, such as automating driving, realizing efficient transportation, optimizing maintenance and management, and creating new services. The Transportation Track will focus on IoT-enabled transportation innovation in Japan and worldwide, providing up-to-date information on the following topics, including practical examples and development trends.

  • 5G communications and cellular networks in transportation
  • Automated driving technology
  • Cooperative ITS, cooperative automated driving
  • New transportation services such as Mobility As a Service (Maas)
  • Utilization of IoT in railroad systems
