  1. Co-Mobility Society Research Projectand Automated μ-Vehicles Keio University Professor Emeritus Hironao Kawashima (21 October 2012)

  2. Concept of the Co-Mobility Society Safe, secure. Low environmental & energy load. Enhanced social activities. Ordesr from the“Shopping Mall.” Children usingremote control. Delivery by automaticvehicle from the “Shopping Mall.” Propose creating a social and technological platform. Ease of movement.Easier for people to gather. Announce the vision and methodologies worldwide.

  3. Special Definition of Mobility in Co-Mobility Research • Mobility Revealed and potential mobility by using car, taxi, bus and rail road. Long distance travel by rail road, ship and airplane is not directly treated in this research • Virtual Mobility Communication can be accomplished without actually traveling to meet each other→Telemedicine system has been very successful. (blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure) • Remote Mobility The travel is accomplished by remotely controlled transport means. The operator can be user’s family or friends • Automated Mobility The travel is accomplished by fully automated transport means

  9. Requirement to produce μ-Vehicles from the governors of Japan • 36 governors of 47 prefectures launched a research committee to investigate the real mobility needs of elder people in sparsely populated area. Conclusion of the committee on the specifications of μ-Vehicles Low speed (up to 30Km/h - 40Km/h) 1 to 2 persons 10 – 30 Km run per day Installation of Safety Assistance Systems μ-Vehicle is now considered for implementation in Japan by introducing a new vehicle regulation.

  10. Steps of introducing Automated μ-Vehicle for selected regions Go to destinations by manual operation and come back by no-man automated operation

  11. Infrastructure required for introducing μ-Vehicle for selected regions (I2V, V2V)

  12. Road traffic management measures for introducing μ-Vehicle for selected regions (Additional road infrastructure and /or facility) (ITS) (ITS and additional road facility)

  13. Types of possessing μ-Vehicle for selected regions (Car sharing) (For the welfare of community)

  14. Current interests related to the implementation ofμ-Vehicles • Clarify the concept of safety assistance systems for μ-Vehicles. • Clarify the performances of I2V, V2V communications for μ-Vehicles and basic verification of introducing the Automated μ-Vehicles using I2V, V2V communications. • Clarify the requirements of road and traffic management measures for the introduction of Automated μ-Vehicles.
