Summary:
ITS, Intelligent Transport System, with DSRC, Dedicated Short Range Communications, was launched in Japan in 2015 as the first DSRC system in the world. Car2car communications became available among some models of new cars with DSRC to avoid such as inter-section accidents and rear-end collisions. Car2Infrastructure (traffic signals) was also introduced at the same time and will be expanded gradually to assist, for an example, handicapped pedestrians by extending traffic light-length. Automated driving and/or ADAS, Advanced Driving Assist System, will further renovate social infrastructures by its powerful wireless communications and information processing capability. Its capability will not be limited only to the mobility aspects but to new social activities. One of them will be IoT, Internet of Things, based society and industry supported by vehicles. Some examples will be explained in this address.
