Abstract

This manuscript briefly introduce the Sustainable ITS project recently initiated under Collaborative Research Project with Industries on inter-disciplinary research environment consisting of traffic, automotive, control, computer and communication engineering. The project aims to provide advanced ITS services, to create new ITS industries and to help to achieve liveable societies. The project has a three-layer structure. The first layer is establishment of a mixed reality based transportation space. The second layer is basic research on the human factor using established space, and the third layer is ITS application research utilizing the research results. This paper presents mainly concept of the first layer under construction.
