Next-generation urban transport systems are being developed in order to ensure safe and smooth traffic around the venues of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, and to secure means of transportation for the elderly in Japan's super-aging society. The UTMS Society of Japan developed a system that performs bus priority control using vehicle-to-infrastructure communication via the 700 MHz radio frequency and conducted verification through field operational tests. The equipment specifications and communications standards established in this development will be adopted as standard specifications to promote future the introduction and dissemination of the system.
