Abstract
The Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) aims to keep safe and secure infrastructure systems by utilizing most advanced information technologies and robotics technologies. Regional universities such as Gifu University are acting for the new technologies proposed by SIP to be used in infrastructure maintenance work of local governments. Accelerating applications of the new technologies to infrastructure maintenance work is expected by stakeholders sharing differences in opinions. With the aim of clarifying obstacles and countermeasures, questionnaire and interview surveys were carried out to contractees, contractors of public works and developers of new technologies. In case of inspection technologies, for example, there were many opinions that recommending the use of new technologies in the standards for bridge inspection procedures has the most effect on the regional implementation. Besides, seminars and field trials of the new technologies have been held to match the needs of infrastructure maintenance with the seeds of technical developments.
