Designing the Next Generat ion Transport Systems

ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) is anadvanced transport system in which variousfields, such as transport engineering, vehicleengineering, information technology, areintegrated.

The Advanced Mobility Research Centerpromotes research and development of ITSthrough collaboration of academia, public,and private sectors.

2003.4 “Sustainable ITS”, a cooperative project among academia,industry, and the government, started in CCR

2005.3 "Collaborative Research Center for Advanced Mobility (ITS Center)” established in IIS (Director: Prof. Dr. Ikeuchi)

2009.4 Upgraded to "Advanced Mobility Research Center (ITS Center)," an university-authorized research center (Director: Prof. Dr. Kuwahara)

2014.4 "Advanced Mobility Research Center (ITS Center)" (Director: Prof. Dr. Suda )

Various Traffic Simulation Models (TS)Traffic simulators (TS) of various scales developed, and ITS technologies and policies

simulated and evaluated with high accuracySOUND : A network traffic simulator, covering a wide network including expressways,

while vehicles are considered individually .AVENUE : A street-level traffic simulator, based on the detailed maneuvers of individual

vehicles, such as lane changing at an intersection. Used for evaluating traffic operationstrategies, reducing congestion on streets, etc.

KAKUMO : A micro traffic simulator, connecting TS and DS. It fills the gap ofspatiotemporal resolution between TS and DS by calculating driver‘s behavior andvehicle dynamics of hundreds of vehicles around the test driver in DS. Simultaneously,the behavior of the test driver in DS is reflected to TS, and then the movements ofsurrounding vehicles and the traffic condition change interactively.
