Tokyo Smart Transportation

As a metropolis, Tokyo is short of land resources, and traffic congestion is a problem that must be faced. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Construction of Japan, about 1 million people are killed and injured in traffic accidents in Japan every year, and 5.3 billion hours are lost due to traffic congestion, which brings economic losses of 12 trillion yen. In order to be able to say goodbye to these dazzling figures, the Japanese government has adopted a set of intelligent means.

In order to alleviate traffic congestion, in 2007, the Japanese government launched a new implementation plan for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), hoping to use information technology to establish an environment-friendly society to save energy and reduce emissions. Japan's strategy is to ease the contradiction between economic development and environmental protection, use information technology to carry out more advanced management, and ease road congestion. At present, Japan has established 17 million ETC charging points, and the penetration rate of ETC has reached 70%. By using the ETC system, the congestion at toll stations has been completely resolved, and the effect of intelligent traffic management is obvious.

After Tokyo is committed to building smart transportation and alleviating the congestion of ground roads, the Tokyo municipal government has turned its attention to their most proud advantage project - the Shinkansen, hoping to further amplify its own advantages through the construction of intelligent systems . Within the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, there are more than 280 kilometers of subway lines and nearly 3,000 kilometers of railways. Rail transit constitutes the skeleton system of urban public transportation, especially in the radial direction connecting urban areas and suburbs and outer suburbs, it occupies a dominant position. The rail transit system transports more than 30 million passengers every day, responsible for 86% of Tokyo's total passenger traffic. In the downtown area during the morning rush hour, there are 91% of people taking rail vehicles, but only 6% of cars.

On the basis of highly developed economy and technology, today’s Tokyo subway line has achieved full intelligent control. Through data collection and analysis, the subway operation and control center can obtain the passenger flow situation of each station in the first time, and the line congestion in the morning and evening peak hours situation and other emergencies, and effectively and quickly find the corresponding solutions and solutions. The intelligent Tokyo Metro will undoubtedly provide a solid guarantee for the further development of Tokyo in the future.
