Abstract

As more and more attention is layed on the assets that the public sector holed, public-owned vehicles are expected to play important roles along with the development in technology. However, there is no accurate data of public-owned vehicles in local government units. Therefore, the current status of public vehicle use is not yet grasped in the first place. In this research, all vehicle records of Kakogawa City and Fujisawa City in 2016 are analyzed. For example, link coverage rate by the public-owned car is calculated. Also, a system of optimize vehicle utilization is devised and evaluated. The findings are that public-owned vehicles can fully play the role as probe cars for daily inspection of public roads, and the optimization system shows that it is possible to perform business with 40 vehicles that was performed with 117 vehicles in actually. The possibility of reducing possession of public-owned vehicles by optimization is high.
