Field Experiments

Since its founding, Toyota InfoTechnology Center has been receiving contracts for public R&D projects, and has been helping establish and standardize fundamental technologies by validating the research results in field experiments.

Communication Technologies for a Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Cooperative System

The Vehicle-to-Infrastructure cooperative system, designed to reduce traffic accidents by utilizing ITS technologies, can help to prevent accidents otherwise unavoidable by autonomous safety systems via communication between vehicles, road infrastructure and pedestrians. In order to realize such a system, cooperating closely with related public and private sector entities, we are validating the research results in field experiments and contributing to the standardization of fundamental technologies for ARIB.

Standardization activities

Towards creating standards that are convenient for the automotive industry, we are participating in the activities of several standards bodies including IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Program), IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and ARIB(Association of Radio Industries and Businesses).
