A large-scale field operational test on the introduction of advanced rapid transit (ART) will be conducted with the aim of developing a public transportation system that is convenient and easy to use for various users, including the elderly and people with disabilities. Specifically, there are plans to: verify the effectiveness of advanced public transportation priority systems (PTPS) to reduce the time required for ART, verify the precise docking control system at bus stops to provide safe and quick boarding and alighting for all passengers, verify the effectiveness of the route map and guide information created by aggregating and integrating barrier-free information collected from people with restricted access to transportation and other people, as well as the provision of congestion forecasts by station and time based on the results of analyzing congestion around stations near a venue when events are held. A field operational test on the ART Information Center function as the foundation for realizing services utilizing ART-related information as well as organic and flexible cooperation of ART systems by collecting, managing, and providing various traffic information is also included in the plan.
