About
Advanced Smart Mobility's Philosophy
Bringing New Freedom and Prosperity to People’s Lives Through Autonomous Mobility That Connects Technology and Society
Mobility is not something extraordinary.
We believe that transportation should be
naturally accessible and reliable in everyday life, without burden.
To achieve this,
Advanced Smart Mobility develops systems and software that connect technology and
society, delivering new freedom and prosperity to people’s lives.
Realizing a Society Where Transportation Becomes
“An Infrastructure That Is
Naturally Convenient and Safe”
Implementing Autonomous Driving Technology in Society
And Providing New
Mobility Services That Are Accessible to Everyone
- Putting People FirstDesigning services that everyone can use with confidence and peace of mind.
- Remaining a ChallengerTaking action without fear of failure
in pursuit of creating new value. - Acting with IntegrityEngaging sincerely as a company
responsible for supporting social infrastructure. - Collaboration and Co-CreationWorking together with industry, academia,
government,
and all partners to create meaningful outcomes.
Transportation Challenges Facing Japan Today
1. Declining Transportation Services and the Growing Mobility Gap Caused by Driver Shortages
As Japan faces a declining birthrate and aging population, shortages of drivers supporting
transportation and logistics services—such as buses and trucks—are becoming increasingly
severe. As service reductions and route cutbacks continue, more people are losing access to
everyday transportation, creating a growing population of “transportation-disadvantaged”
individuals and increasing impacts on local communities and economic activity.
We believe
the following approaches can help maintain and even improve service frequency with limited
personnel, thereby preventing declines in transportation service levels for buses, trucks,
and other mobility services.
Autonomous Driving Solution Approaches：
-
Remote monitoring
-
Platooning
-
Autonomous driving assistance
2. Expanding Economic Losses Caused by Accidents and Traffic Congestion
Traffic accidents and chronic congestion not only pose risks to human life, but also create
major economic losses through logistics delays and increased travel times. These challenges
are becoming increasingly apparent not only in urban areas, but also on arterial roads and
expressways.
We believe the following measures can help reduce accidents and congestion,
thereby mitigating the associated economic losses.
Autonomous Driving Solution Approaches：
-
Reducing unnecessary empty vehicle trips
-
Smoothing traffic congestion
-
Eliminating logistics bottlenecks
The adoption of autonomous driving does more than simply make transportation “more
convenient.”
It brings transformative change that supports the very structure of society
itself, including the following.
- Ensuring mobility access for elderly people and residents of rural areas
- Revitalizing regional economies and tourism
- Reducing environmental impact through more efficient logistics
- Creating new expertise and new employment opportunities
The Future We Aim For
Toward a Society Where Mobility Continues Naturally
Regardless of where people live or how old they are, when they feel the desire to go
somewhere, they can move there naturally and without difficulty.
That is the kind
of society we strive to create.
For us, autonomous driving is not the goal itself.
It is a means
of continuing to support people’s lives.
Advanced Smart Mobility will continue implementing autonomous driving systems into society and realizing community-based mobility solutions one by one.
