Macnica (hereinafter referred to as Macnica) is a total service/solution provider in semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT (Head office location: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Kazumasa Hara, capital: 11,194 million yen) HANEDA INNOVATION is being developed by Haneda Mirai Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ota-ku, Tokyo, President: Hiroaki Yamaguchi, hereinafter referred to as Haneda Mirai Development) in the Haneda Airport Site First Zone Development Project (Phase 1 Project). CITY (Haneda Innovation City, hereinafter referred to as HICity)'', PerceptIn Japan LLC (hereinafter referred to as Perceptin, head office: Hong Kong, representative: Shaoshan Liu, hereinafter referred to as PerceptIn), BOLDLY Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as BOLDLY, head office location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President City Model Project ^*1 supported by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism with the cooperation of Sompo Japan Insurance Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Board Director and Director: Keiji Nishizawa) (FY2020 advance model project), we will begin a smart city demonstration experiment using autonomous low-speed electric carts (autonomous LSEV).

This demonstration experiment is part of the Haneda Airport Site Zone 1 Development Project (Phase 1 Project), targeting the entire town, which is a green field on the former airport site, and is capable of integrating, visualizing, and analyzing data using BIM Spatial Information Data Collaboration Platform” will be developed and will be a collaborative area for cutting-edge technologies, forming a testbed suitable for empirical efforts, developing initiatives that contribute to solving problems in Ota City, and implementing services at an early stage. One of our goals is to demonstrate the introduction of smart mobility, such as autonomous buses and autonomous low-speed electric carts.

Through demonstration experiments using autonomous low-speed electric carts, we will verify the effects of reducing movement stress and improving mobility in environments where pedestrians and vehicles are mixed. We will also demonstrate remote monitoring of mobility using an integrated control system.

The demonstration will be conducted using an 8-seater low-speed electric vehicle and an autonomous low-speed electric cart equipped with a computer vision module based on PerceptIn's proprietary technology (sensor fusion). Macnica provides operational support centered on engineering, such as map creation, ODD design, and software support necessary for autonomous driving. BOLDLY performs safe operation management through remote monitoring by connecting the autonomous driving vehicle operation platform "Dispatcher" to PerceptIn's autonomous low-speed electric cart. In addition, Sompo Japan provides automobile insurance for autonomous driving and risk assessments in the areas and routes where autonomous driving is introduced to reduce operational risks.

Macnica will provide operational support centered on engineering for this demonstration experiment, and will utilize the results and knowledge obtained from the experiment to expand the scope of the service and stabilize the service for future social implementation. We will proceed step by step.

【Implementation content】
Aiming to secure a new means of transportation, we will introduce an autonomous low-speed electric cart (with a passenger capacity of 8 people) that will connect two points on the second floor deck of the facility. We will conduct verification tests to improve the convenience of transportation within the facility and to increase social acceptance of autonomous vehicles.
