| Research Abstract |
A personal intelligent vehicle that is a main topic of this research project is an example product of a new research field called Mountable Computing, which supports not only anytime/anywhere computing functionalities but also computer-augmented physical movement and transportation activities. The so called ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) aims at the augmentation of a conventional traffic system by applying information technologies such as wireless data communication and global positioning systems to location/route guidance, toll gate transactions, and traffic monitoring. While the current ITS does not deal with services for small personal vehicles (motorcycles, electric wheelchairs, and bicycles), we have been studying physical and information infrastructures in order to make such small vehicles intelligent enough to contribute to a physical/digital barrier-free society. We also designed and developed an IT-powered electric personal vehicle called the AT. AT stands for Attentive Townvehicle, which is a human-centered and context-aware vehicle that makes people's urban lives more comfortable and enjoyable. We created several types of AT and performed some experiments on communication and coordination between ATs using adhoc wireless networks. AT also contributes to integration of physical and informational environments and human community activities both in the real world and cyberspace. In this research, we also developed some application systems of personal intelligent vehicles such as automatic coordination (platooning) of several ATs, detection of physical objects, human-vehicle interaction including automatic following, and capturing and sharing of personal experiences.
