Fujitsu to Exhibit at "ITS World Conference 2016" in Melbourne

Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Ten Limited (collectively "Fujitsu") today announced their joint exhibit at ITS World Conference 2016, from October 10-14 in Melbourne, Australia.

Under the theme "Human Centric Innovation - Driving Liveable Society," Fujitsu will exhibit the Group's efforts in ICT solutions for automobile transportation, combining technologies such as the Mobility IoT Platform, which provides a variety of mobility-related services; Fujitsu Intelligent Society Solution SPATIOWL, a cloud service for working with location data; a drive recorder that collects information on vehicles, driving conditions, and drivers; and human-sensing technology to detect drowsy drivers.

About the Exhibit

Dates: October 10-14, 2016

Place: Fujitsu Corner, Booth 709, Japan Pavilion

Theme: Human Centric Innovation - Driving Liveable Society

Description:

1. Services that use the Mobility IoT Platform to help make driving safer

This part of the exhibit introduces services based on the Mobility IoT Platform, which enables the provision of a wide range of services, using mobility-related big data, such as on cars, and map data.

• Services that use the Mobility IoT Platform and manage and distribute Dynamic Maps

  These services integrate the Dynamic Map Platform and Linked Open Data⁽¹⁾, along with changes to road conditions provided by various sensor information, and manage and quickly process them on the Mobility IoT Platform, providing updated Dynamic Map data to vehicles as a timely service.

• Services using AI to help make driving safer

  These services use Fujitsu's AI "Zinrai" technology to combine detectable traffic conditions surrounding the car, by recognizing other vehicles and pedestrians in images of the car's surroundings, and sensor data on the driver, such as eye blinks, with dynamic map information for analysis, to encourage safer driving habits.

2. Services that use SPATIOWL cloud services for location information

This part of the exhibit shows how Fujitsu uses SPATIOWL for real-time positional information.

• Visualizing and analyzing operating conditions for public-transit authorities

  SPATIOWL performs multifaceted analyses of public-transit operations according to time (months, days, days of week, hours, and so forth), as well as location. Results are plotted on a map to make them more comprehensible, showing when and where delays have occurred, and how severe they are, to give a more intuitive grasp of trouble spots.

  And a driver drowsiness detector helps make long-haul driving safer by spotting trends in driver drowsiness based on pulse rates.

• Traffic-congestion detection using image analysis

  Image analysis from CCTV cameras installed along roads can be used to detect traffic congestion, accidents, and violations in real time, and by connecting to SPATIOWL, that information can be used to instantly produce an incident map covering a broad area.

3. Services using data from drive recorders

• G500 Series communications-type drive recorder

  Gathering and analyzing a variety of car data through cloud connectivity with communications functions, the recorder assists customers' safe driving and more efficient management of vehicle operations. This exhibit showcases the system's ability to capture recorded images using its remote operations feature when there is an accident, and its safe-driving educational tools that automatically extract video of the situation when the driver swerved or suddenly applied the brakes.

• Advanced drive-recorder concept

  This exhibit shows how Fujitsu technology can use drive-recorder data stored in the cloud along with image-recognition and AI/deep-learning technologies to perform sophisticated analyses, with advanced services that encompass not only driver behavior but also extensive stored data and ICT capabilities, including pedestrian and bicycle information over numerous locations and timeframes, and even locations, times, and weather conditions under which wild animals are likely to dart into the road.
