The main task of the activities was to broaden the result of R&D to professionals outside Japan and to get feedback for the direction of the further research. The international harmonization activities include fostering international understanding of dynamic maps, arrangement of static map features arrangement, the promotion on SIP-adus FOTs, and moving standardization activities forward. The relationship with related activities in other countries is just at the beginning stage. Continuous action will be needed to achieve international harmonization of dynamic maps.
