・Chronic congestion

Low share ofautomobile usage

But!

・Low speed

② Transportation impeded by railroad crossings Concentration of crossing (Index)(Tokyo=100)* TMG Bureau of UrbanDevelopment

 Number of crossings・・・about 1,130 (※1)
 Number of “no open crossings” (※2)・・・about 260 (※1)
※1 2011.7※2 crossings not open 40 minutes per hour at the peak time Overpasses & underpasses: Completed: Constructing: Planned(2013.4)* TMG Bureau of Construction

③ Chronic congestion 30 routes suffering from severe congestion* TMG Office for YouthAffairs and Public Safety― National Roads― TMG Roads “Hyper-smooth campaign” (some parts)《Using ITS technologies》
・Traffic-demand predicting signals
・Traffic information boards
・PTPS“Hyper-susumu Kun”

12.3% reduction of peak travel time

3. Measures Using the ITS technologies① Traffic-demand predicting signals* TMG Office for YouthAffairs and Public Safety

・System・・・predict traffic volume coming tointersection and control signals
・Characteristic・・・make prediction
・Effect・・・cope with sudden traffic change

② Traffic information boards* TMG Office for YouthAffairs and Public Safety

・System・・・provide traffic information likecongestion spots and time required
・Characteristic・・・allow drivers to use other routes
・Effect・・・ traffic volume spread③ PTPS (Public Transportation Priority System)* TMG Bureau of Urban Development

・System・・・When bus passes, shortening red
signals and the extending green ones are directed
・Characteristic ・・・on-time running・Effect・・・improvement of usefulness & comfort
