Technological advancements in new areas called “CASE” such as connected, autonomous, shared, and electric are progressing. MaaS has begun to efficiently and conveniently connect all kinds of mobilities from buses, trains, taxis to ride sharing and share cycles using information technology. In this report, the history of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) and automobile safety systems is described at first. Next, I show what new services can be introduced into car by connecting mobilities to networks, sensing the surrounding environments in more detail and sharing information. In addition, the next three topics are explained as a key in-vehicle technology from recent technological advancements.
① Environmental sensor technology
② Positioning with reliability enhancement by coupling IMU, satellites with external sensors (PRECISE)
③ Cloud-operated spatial mark information creation (COSMIC)
Finally, I give an overview of the role of mobilities in Society 5.0 in the future.
