Therefore, in the early studies, a series of experiments on the test track were performed. The benefits and problems that the spreading support brings to the operators by examining their mental workload as a function of the presence or absence and type of support were extracted. [...]

Risk Management for a disaster with “Road-On Map”
This paper presents the implementation of providing traffic information using the Road-On Map in order to accomplish rapid and reliable traffic management in the southern area of Kumamoto Prefecture following the heavy rainfall disaster in July 2020. ETC2.0 probe data collected from vehicles equipped with ETC2.0-compatible on-board units are used by Road-On Map to determine whether or not roads are passable. It has been difficult to rapidly and efficiently provide traffic information using real-time [...]
