Saitama Institute of Technology aims to realize a safe and comfortable autonomous driving society, and as a participating organization of the second phase of the Cabinet Office's Strategic Innovation Creation Program (SIP) "Automated Driving (Expansion of Systems and Services)" We have started a demonstration experiment in the Tokyo coastal area and Haneda Airport area.
Approximately 2 institutions such as domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers, automobile parts manufacturers, and universities participated in the second phase of SIP "autonomous driving (expansion of systems and services)". From October 30, in the Tokyo coastal area, aiming to contribute to solving social issues such as reduction of traffic accidents and reduction of traffic congestion, common issues (cooperation) that industry, academia and government should work together toward the practical application of autonomous driving Area) is promoting research and development.
After June 2020, 6, public vehicle priority system and signal information will be provided using magnetic markers, ITS radio roadside units, under the actual environment of the public road connecting Haneda Airport Terminal 5 Building and Haneda Airport Site Zone 3. , A demonstration experiment using a high-precision 1D map has been started.
Saitama Institute of Technology has participated since October 1, which is the first phase of SIP, and is the only private university to participate for the second consecutive term.Until now, we have refrained from conducting demonstration experiments to prevent the infection of the new coronavirus, but this time we are the first university in Japan to conduct demonstration experiments using an automatic driving bus at any time in the Haneda Airport area. In the first phase of SIP, Toyota participated in a demonstration experiment in the Odaiba area with Toyota's Prius-based autonomous driving test vehicle "SAIKO Car", but in the second phase, the newly developed microbus "Liesse II" in August 2017. Participate mainly in self-driving buses based on.Utilizing the experience of participating in many demonstration experiments on public roads nationwide, we will actively engage in research and development of autonomous driving and tackle more advanced issues as a university.
