As Japan faces a super-aging society, movement support for people with mobility constraints has become an important social issue that needs to be addressed. To cope with this situation, technology development, as well as research and surveys are in progress to help realize safe, secure, and smooth movement support for people with mobility constraints that also satisfies convenience and economic rationality requirements. The UTMS Society of Japan is working on the enhancement of the existing Pedestrian Information Communication Systems (PICS) and proceeding with studies to help realize services that provide intersection crossing support using smartphones.
