As a part of ITSC'99, we are planning to
have three technical tours.
Date: OCT.8,1999 Friday 8:30`18:00
Fare: \3,000 per person
This system enhances travel convenience by recommending to a driver the shortest route to his destination and reduces congestion by diversifying travel routes.
Metropolitan Police Department has been installing traffic safety facility and operating of Traffic control center in Tokyo. Traffic control center is a unified system for enduring safe and smooth traffic flow.
This system supports emergency vehicles in action, which enables to reduce traffic accidents involving emergency vehicles and to arrive at the accident site as soon as possible.
TOKYO WAN AQUA-LINE is a 15-km toll highway that runs across the central portion of Tokyo Bay. Along the coastline is located the Tokyo metropolis consisting of Tokyo, Yokohama, Kawasaki, Chiba, Kisarazu and other cities. Umihotaru is a man-made island built for transition between the bridge and the tunnel of AQUA-LINE.
After lunch at Umihotaru, pass through the ETC gates at Kisarazu. JH is preparing the ETC system to be ready in the 1998 fiscal year, and the system is being tested to ensure safety and smoothness for vehicles to enter the gates.
A field test on an ITS/EV rent-a-car system will be conducted
at Yokohama. The system employs ITS technologies including navigation
and automatic vehicle monitoring on small electric vehicles. Participants
will have a chance to enjoy the system on streets in a business
park.
Date: OCT.8,1999 Friday 8:30`19:30
Fare: \3,000 per person
It has been operated by the Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) of the seven Japan Railways (JR) with the goal of developing basic technology and research applications. The mission is to develop the Maglev (Magnetic levitation) system. The Maglev vehicle "MLX 01"(5-car unit) attained 548km/h (March 18,1999).
You can enjoy seeing the beautiful Mt. Fuji while you have lunch.
The joint research projects by University of Tokyo, YAZAKI
and Toshiba have been conducted to make drivers' assistance systems

Based on the New Five-Year Program for Highway Technologies (1998~2002) and the Five-Year Program for Research on Traffic Safety (1996~2000), the Road Department of PWRI conducts research on the design of geometric highway structures, pavement and tunnel design, and on measures for improving traffic safety. The Department focuses on research on ITS using an advanced technology including information and communications technology, for making highway driver safer, more efficient, and more comfortable.
The National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) was established in 1969 to act as the nucleus for the development of space and promote the peaceful use of space, especially for development of satellites (including space experiments and the space station) and launch vehicles, launching and tracking the craft. Located on a site measuring 530,000 square meters, NASDA Tsukuba Space Center is a consolidated operation center equipped with world class test facilities and equipment
Since 1937, the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (MEL) has contributed to industrial development through basic research at the forefront of technology. The main fields of activity of the laboratory have been Materials Science & Technology, Bioengineering, Information & Systems Science, Advanced Machine Technology, Energy Technology, Manufacturing Technology, and Robotics.
