The FISITA Mapping Technology Cluster issues its first paper on ‘Optimizing Traffic Flows in Smart Cities’, in English and Japanese version.

For the first time in FISITA’s history we are very pleased to offer technical content to our membership community in different languages!

This Paper includes some fascinating insights into the challenges and opportunities around optimizing traffic flow in Smart Cities and the role that maps play, from a group of technologists comprising vehicle manufacturers and tier 1 suppliers, participating in the FISITA Mapping Technology Cluster in Japan.

This Paper summarises the results of the discussion which looked at the following:

• Picture of traffic flow controls in Smart Cities

• Technical requirements for achievement

• Long-term issues and directions

背景

FISITA Corporate Membershipの代表者で構成されるFISITA Industry Committeeは、今後自動車産業にとって重要となる技術領域を確認した。（これらの領域を右に示す）この領域においての知識の共有や議論は、今後の自動車産業にとって主流となる新たな解決策の採用を、浮き彫りにすると共に促進させることに役立つと期待される。

FISITAはこれらの技術領域に関して、専門のTechnology Clusterを創設した。ここでは独自の活動範囲や議論の頻度、目標とする成果物を定めて活動している。昨年日本においてMappingのTechnology Clusterが設立され、FISITAのInternational Connected Community の利益となるべく、Zenrinとトヨタの主導のもとグループメンバーが技術的知識の共有を生み出すために共同して活動を行った。
