Abstract
I have approached studies that enhance the appeal of transportation systems with the view point of speed-up and improvement of convenience or comfort from the standpoint of vehicle engineering. From establishment of Collaborative Research Center for Advanced Mobility, the predecessor of Advanced Mobility Research Center (ITS Center), I am engaged on studies on interaction with infrastructure. Recently, I am interested in the grand-design of transportation system and the modal-mix.
In this paper, studies on automobile technologies with use of Intelligent Transportation Systems, railway vehicles that can run in curves smoothly, Personal Mobility Vehicle, etc. which the author is now being engaged on are introduced. [This abstract is not included in the PDF]
