https ://w w w.i ts .i i s .u -to kyo .a c.j p / ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) is an advanced transport system in which various fields, suchas transport engineering, vehicle engineering, information technology, are integrated.
 The Advanced Mobility Research Center promotes research and development of ITS throughcollaboration of academia, public, and private sectors.
 In July 2018, the ITS Center took the lead in launching the Mobility
Innovation Collaborative Research Organization (UTmobI) as a crossdepartmental organization within the university, and since July 2019 it
has been promoting it with an eight-department structure.

Research and Developments on ITS
ITS R&R Experiment Field
Experiment fields for automobiles
and trains and a driving simulator
for large vehicle.

Various Traffic Simulation Models (TS)Traffic simulators (TS) of various scales developed,
to evaluate political options with high accuracy.
 SOUND : A network traffic simulator, covering a wide network including
expressways, while vehicles are considered individually.
 AVENUE : A street-level traffic simulator, based on the detailed maneuversof individual vehicles, such as lane changing at an intersection. Used forevaluating traffic operation strategies, reducing congestion on streets, etc.
 KAKUMO : A micro traffic simulator, connecting TS and DS. It fills the gap of
spatiotemporal resolution between TS and DS by calculating driver‘sbehavior and vehicle dynamics of hundreds of vehicles around the test
driver in DS. Simultaneously, the behavior of the test driver in DS isreflected to TS, and then the movements of surrounding vehicles and thetraffic condition change interactively.

Global Collaboration

ITS Seminar
Series of seminars organized about three times a year, and ITS based onneeds from local areas as well as central administration promoted
Lectures
Not only lectures for students but also a special lecture "UTmobI Forum"(once a year) for private sectors organized for developing humanresource in ITS industry
Research Committee
Informal discussions about latest ITS topics hosted every month inviting
speakers from academia, industry, and government

ITS Center hosts an international
symposium every year and exchanges
faculty members and students with otheruniversities and institutes throughinternational collaboration as well as
domestic collaboration.
