Permission Framework for Specified
Automated Operation (SAO)

Through the 208th ordinary session of the Diet, the Act
Partially Amending the Road Traffic Act (Act No. 32 of 2022)(hereinafter referred to as the "Amending Act") was enacted,
which establishes provisions related to the permission
framework for specified automated operation (SAO), and willtake effect within one year from the date of promulgation (April
27, 2022). This paper will outline the regulations pertaining to
the framework. (Fig.1)

1.1. Definition of SAO
SAO refers to an operating on a road a motor vehicle whichis equipped with an automated operation device (AOD), whichis equivalent to SAE Level 4 (excluding cases when a person
drives), under its operating conditions.
When using an AOD equivalent to SAE Level 4 under its
operating conditions, it is possible to operate the vehicle
without violating the driver's obligations during the operation,and because the vehicle will immediately stop automatically ina safe manner when the use of that AOD has become unable tosatisfy the operating conditions, it is possible for the vehicle tooperate without a driver. Based on this, the Road Traffic Act(Law No. 105 of 1960) as amended by the Amending Act(hereinafter referred to as the "Revised Act") defines SAO as aconcept that is different from "driving" that requires a driver.
(Article 2 (1)(172) of the Revised Act)

1.2. Permission for SAO
Although it is possible for a vehicle to operate without adriver when using an AOD equivalent to SAE Level 4, if thevehicle has safely stopped due to the operating conditions not
being satisfied, and measures are not taken to respond to
instructions from police officers or approach of an emergency
vehicle, or to report to the police in the event of a traffic accident,
there is a risk of creating a hazard and obstruction to roadtraffic.

Therefore, under the Amending Act, it is stipulated that
only those who have obtained a permission from the prefectural
public safety commission can perform SAO. (Article 75-12 (1)of the Revised Act)1.2.1. Application for Permission of SAO
A person seeking to conduct a SAO must obtain permission
by submitting a written application which includes a plan for
SAO describing the implementation methods for fulfilling theobligations described below that apply to a SAO permission
holder (hereinafter referred to as a "SAO implementer") to aprefectural public safety commission having jurisdiction overthe place where the SAO is to be conducted. (Article 75-12 (2)of the Revised Act)

1.2.2. Criteria for Permission of SAO
Because the permission framework for SAO is a framework
to ensure that even when a vehicle is operated without a driver,
the safety and smoothness of road traffic is ensured in the samemanner as when a driver is present, the prefectural public safetycommission will examine whether or not the plan for SAO
conforms to the following criteria in order to determine
whether or not the system and measures for fulfilling theobligations of the SAO implementer are in place. (Article 75-13(1) of the Revised Act) (Fig.1)(1) The vehicle to be used for SAO in connection with the planfor SAO (hereinafter referred to as "vehicle for SAO") shallbe capable of conducting a SAO. (Item (1))(2) The SAO conducted according to the plan for SAO satisfies
the operating conditions in connection with the AOD ofthat vehicle for SAO. (Item (2))(3) Smooth and reliable implementation of the measures thatmust be taken by the SAO implementer and the persons
who are employed for the SAO (hereinafter referred to as
the "SAO staff ") in accordance with the provisions of theAct, etc. is expected. (Item (3))(4) The SAO conducted according to the plan for SAO is not
likely to significantly interfere with other traffic. (Item (4))(5) The SAO conducted according to the plan for SAO is for the

purpose of transporting persons or objects, which also
contributes to the improvement of the convenience or
welfare for local residents. (Item (5))
The prefectural public safety commission shall examine
whether or not the submitted plan for SAO complies with theabove criteria, and shall grant the permission of SAO after
hearing the opinion of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism and the heads of the municipalities(including special wards) (Article 75-13 (2) of the Revised Act).

(b) measures to place a supervisor of SAO in that vehicle for
SAO (Item (2))(5) When conducting a SAO, the SAO implementer must
indicate on an easily visible place of that vehicle for SAO
that the SAO is running. (Article 75-20 (2) of the RevisedAct)

1.4. Responsibilities of a Supervisor of SAO
Regarding the driver’s obligations related to driving
operation that require specific response on site, it is assumed
that even an AOD with functions and capability equivalent to
SAE Level 4 cannot respond to them. Besides, the obligations
other than those for a driver related to driving operation, forexample, responding to a traffic accident, is not presumed tobe handled by the AOD.
Therefore, the Amending Act separately stipulates thefollowing obligations when conducting SAO, which areequivalent to the obligations that an AOD is assumed notcapable of responding to, and imposes them upon the supervisorof SAO (or the persons responsible for on-site measures (7)).
(1) A supervisor of SAO must monitor the state of the operationof equipment, while that vehicle for SAO is conducting the
SAO. In such a case, that supervisor of SAO must, whenfinding that that equipment is not operating in a normalmanner, take measures to halt that SAO immediately.
(Article 75-21 (1) of the Revised Act)(2) A supervisor of SAO must, when a SAO is halted on a road,
immediately check whether or not to take the measures

1.3. Obligations of SAO Implementers
The following obligations are imposed on SAO
implementers.
(1) SAOs must comply with the plan for SAO and the conditions
attached to the SAO permission. (Article 75-18 (1) of the
Revised Act)(2) The SAO implementer must provide education to the SAO
staff. (Article 75-19 (1) of the Revised Act)(3) The SAO implementer must designate a supervisor of SAO
and persons responsible for on-site measures. (Article 75-19(2) and (3) of the Revised Act)(4) 
The SAO implementer must take one of the following
measures: (Article 75-20 (1) of the Revised Act)(a) measures to equip a place with equipment capable ofconfirming the road and traffic conditions around thatvehicle for SAO and the conditions of that vehicle byimages and sounds and to place a supervisor of SAO atthat place (Item (1))

which a supervisor of SAO must implement. (Article 75-21(2) of the Revised Act)(3) In a case where a SAO is halted, the supervisor of SAO must,when any measure or order is taken or issued to that vehicle
for SAO or to that supervisor of SAO (e.g., in a case that apolice officer is controlling the traffic with hand signals),
immediately take necessary measures to have that vehicle
for SAO run according to those measures or orders. (Article
75-22 (1) of the Revised Act)(4) In a case where a SAO is halted, the supervisor of SAO must,when emergency motor vehicles are approaching to thatvehicle for SAO or there are emergency motor vehicles inthe vicinity of it, immediately take the necessary measures
so that that vehicle for SAO does not prevent the passage of
those emergency motor vehicles. (Article 75-22 (2) of the
Revised Act)(5) In a case where a SAO is halted, the supervisor of SAO must,when that vehicle for SAO is found to have been parked
illegally, immediately take necessary measures to change
how that vehicle for SAO is parked or move that vehicle
from that place. (Article 75-22 (3) of the Revised Act)(6) In the event of a traffic accident in connection with a vehicle
for SAO (excluding when the supervisor of SAO is placed inthat vehicle), the supervisor of SAO must immediately takemeasures to notify a fire department nearest to the scene ofthat traffic accident and must send a person responsible foron-site measures to the scene of that traffic accident. In sucha case, the supervisor of SAO of that vehicle for SAO must
immediately report the date, time, etc., where the traffic
accident occurred to a police officer of the nearest police
station. (Article 75-23 (1) of the Revised Act)(7) In the case of (6), a person responsible for on-site measures
who arrives at the scene of the traffic accident must takenecessary measures to prevent road hazards at the scene of
the traffic accident. (Article 75-23 (2) of the Revised Act)(3) Provisional suspension of permission by the chief of a police
station (Article 75-28 of the Revised Act)

1.6. Towards Enforcement of the Amending Act
As mentioned at the beginning of this paper, the Amending
Act is to take effect within one year from the date ofpromulgation.
Regarding the provisions related to the permission
framework for SAO, matters such as the contents of education
for those involved in SAO, the aptitude required for those who
perform remote monitoring, and the requirements for remotemonitoring equipment are left to subordinate orders andregulations; considering the need for business operators to
prepare for applications of permission, it is necessary tocomplete the formulation of the subordinate orders andregulations as early as possible and within one year.

Introduction

The Road Act (Act No. 180 of 1952) was enacted andenforced in 1952 as a basic law to provide for the designation
and approval of road routes, management, structure,
maintenance, cost sharing, and other matters concerning
roads in order to improve the road network.
In recent years, in order to meet the needs of increasingly
diverse and sophisticated road use, the following main
revisions were passed in May 20, 2020 in the "Act for Partial
Revision of the Road Act, etc." and thus promulgated in May
27, 2020 (Act No. 31 of 2020):-Acting as an agent for direct control of disaster restoration,etc., of locally managed roads-Establishment of dedicated stopping facilities for businessvehicles-Construction of pedestrian-centered road areas-Development of facilities to assist in automated driving-Creation of a new traffic system for special vehicles
This section introduces the revisions related to automateddriving.

perform automated driving will not be those that can operatesafely at any time and place (Level 5), but rather those thatcan operate safely only when used under specific driving
environment conditions (Level 3 or 4).
In addition, the driving environment conditions include
the maintenance and use of "infrastructure such as equipment
and communications installed on the road," in addition tokeeping the speed below a predetermined level, limiting thedriving range to only a predetermined route, limiting theweather and time of day, and establishing the necessarycommunication conditions.
The outline also recommends that "the necessary items forinfrastructure such as equipment and communications(including infrastructure-to-vehicel cooperative technologies)
to be installed on roads to complement the safety of automateddriving should be considered based on the driving mode,technological progress, results of FOTs (Field Operational
Tests), and opinions of users and operators." In order to put
automated driving into practical use, these infrastructures need
to be developed. (Fig.1)

Overview of revisions↑
SafetyThe practical application of automated driving willcontribute to solving various issues related to roadtransportation, such as reducing traffic accidents involving
the elderly, easing traffic congestion, securing means oftransportation in rural areas, and eliminating driver
shortages in logistics services, etc. Therefore, the "Outline on
improvement of legal system and environment for automateddriving system" (April 30, 2008; IT Comprehensive Strategy
Office) was decided as a government policy.
For the time being, however, it is expected that thedevices that will be put to practical use in vehicles that

that stable driving is difficult to achieve with vehicle technology
alone due to weather conditions such as snowfall and terrainsuch as mountainous areas. It was also confirmed that assistancefrom facilities installed on the infrastructure side, such as
magnetic markers, is effective in ensuring stable driving.
Based on the above, in order to respond to the practicalapplication of automated driving, the Road Act defines facilities
to assist the driving of automated vehicles as "supporting
infrastructure for automated driving."-Supporting infrastructure for automated driving installed by theroad administrator are added as attachments to the road.
-Relaxing the strict requirements by adding supporting infrastructure
for automated driving to the occupied property, assuming that they
are installed by someone other than the road administrator.
Based on the above, promote public-private efforts toward
the practical application of automated driving.
In addition, automated driving technology is in the processof rapid progress, and Japan aims to steadily reflect thetechnology related to infrastructure for automatic driving ininternational standards. Therefore, it is necessary to develop
supporting infrastructure for automated driving installed in aninternationally coordinated and unified manner throughout
Japan. The act includes the following provisions regarding
supporting infrastructure for automated driving installed byroad administers:-Infrastructure meets the performance standards specified by
the Ordinance of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism-After installation, report to the Minister of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism (in the case of a municipality, report tothe prefecture, which in turn reports to the Minister of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism).
<Reference texts>○Regulations for Enforcement of the Road Act (Ministryof Construction Ordinance No. 25 of 1952) (Extract)(Criteria for the performance of supporting infrastructure
for automated driving, etc.)
1 Article 4-8-2 The performance standards for supporting
infrastructure for automated driving that are attached
to roads specified by an Ordinance of the Ministry ofLand, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under
Article 45-2 paragraph (1) of the Act shall be that the
supporting infrastructure for automated driving apply
to any of the following items.

The Act for Partial Amendment of the Road
Transport Vehicle Act
Yoshitaka Tada (Road Transport Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism)

At the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport andTourism, and based on the Road Transport Vehicle Act, safety
is ensured in an integrated manner from the design andmanufacturing stages of vehicles through to the stage of use on
public roads. Specifically, we are involved with measures suchas formulating safety standards, type certification, servicing &maintenance, inspections, and recalls.
On the other hand, this specific law was created in 1951,
and at that time it was not considered that some non-humansystem would also operate vehicles. For this reason, the law
was revised in May 2019 to accommodate automated vehicles(Level 3 and Level 4).

Addition of automated driving systems to
the equipment subject to safety standards"Automated driving systems" were added to the list ofdevices subject to the safety standards, as devices necessary
for automatically operating a vehicle by means of a program.
(Fig.1) In addition, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism shall attach conditions under which
the automated driving system are to be used (the driving
environment conditions) to each such system.

Expansion of the Scope of Disassemblyand Maintenance

It was necessary to expand the scope of "disassembly andmaintenance" because it did not include maintenance andmodifications related to advanced technologies, which meant
there was a risk that safety may not be ensured.
The definition of "disassembly and maintenance" that
requires certification was expanded by adding "automateddriving systems" and also maintenance and modifications
that may affect the operation of such systems, and the namewas changed to "specified maintenance". (Fig.4) In addition,
there is an obligation for vehicle manufacturers, etc. toprovide the model-specific technical information necessary
for inspections and maintenance to the service providers
who perform specified maintenance.

With the advancement of vehicle technology, it has
become possible for vehicle manufacturers, etc. to alter the
programs incorporated in the electronic control devices ofvehicles and change their performance and add (modify)functions easily and on a large scale while the vehicle is being
used by utilizing communications.
For this reason, a person who intends to make amodification by altering a program incorporated in an
automated driving system, etc. through the use of
telecommunication lines, etc., which may cause the vehicle
to fail to conform to safety standards (a Specified ModificationEtc.) (Fig.2) must obtain permission from the Minister ofLand, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in advance.
Since the Road Transport Vehicle Act until now did notenvision the large-scale electronic modification of vehicles using
communications, conformance to the standards specified in the
