What is MaaS

MaaS (Mobility as a Service) is a system that utilizes IT technology to seamlessly integrate various means of transportation (transportation services) with digital technology, enabling reservations and payments on a single platform. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism* is promoting its nationwide expansion, and social implementation is progressing.

Use Case

Interactive information guidance using generative AI and community-based MaaS apps
AIinteractivedigital mapremote operation control systemapp
A concierge displayed on a monitor installed inside the vehicle provided information on the route and bus stops, as well as local events and weather forecasts. Passengers could also talk to the concierge and obtain information by engaging in a dialogue, allowing them to experience a new service while traveling.
*Generation AI acquires traffic data from autonomous driving buses and remote operation control systems. Generation AI (concierge) conveys the appeal of the area at the appropriate time, improving the quality of local experiences through transportation.
In addition, the app centralizes local mobility information, such as bus location information and parking availability and reservation. The ability to seamlessly check and reserve travel information with just a smartphone has increased user convenience and contributed to improving mobility throughout the region. *Digital maps are used as the basis for the city's app

An advanced initiative linking city government apps with autonomous driving buses
Level 4digital mapremote operation control systemapp
In order to alleviate the driver shortage and create excitement in the local area, the company is introducing the latest autonomous driving buses and linking them to a remote operation management system. It is aiming to achieve Level 4 autonomous driving driving, which is currently considered the most advanced.

In addition, by utilizing the bus location system, the current location of the bus is distributed in real time, providing a highly convenient transportation service. We are also working with neighboring municipalities to improve the convenience of transportation in a wide area.
*Digital maps are used as the basis for the city's administrative information app.

Furthermore, we are also working to build a sustainable operation system, including 100% solar charging in our depots.
