Automated vehicles are transforming the mobility landscape dramatically. These intelligent vehicles can reduce road accidents, save lives, improve commute, and minimize CO2 emissions.
In Japan, the aging of society is proceeding at a much faster pace than anywhere else in the world. It is a common issue shared by many countries; particularly many other developed countries are sooner or later anticipated to see similar increases in senior populations at a pace that equals Japan. As these people find it challenging to commute on using traditional transportation systems, there is a need for advanced mobility technologies that can allow anyone to have a safe life and take a comfortable travel.
Advanced Smart Mobility (ASMobi) plays a pivotal role in taking transportation and logistics to a whole new level through its next-gen mobility technologies. The company collaborates with Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo to pursue R&D on improving transportation systems while embedding the results into products and finally aiming to contribute to society. "Our mission is to develop the autonomous driving system for mobility," begins Keiji Aoki, CEO of ASMobi. On the autonomous driving bus front, the company pursues ways to ensure mobility for all transport users within the category of public transport systems. In addition to it, the company's R&D and core technology of autonomous driving, such as truck platooning followed by non-driver trucks with Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control, helps logistics companies manage their shipping operations efficiently.
ASMobi, since its inception in 2014, has been conducting advanced research on autonomous driving and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) geared toward large trucks and buses to tackle the challenges present in the public mass transportation systems and logistics industry. The company was primarily established to bring Prof. Yoshihiro SUDA's research (Director of Mobility Innovation Collaborative Research Organizationand Director of Advanced Mobility Research Center, Institute of Industrial Science of the University of Tokyo. He is also one of the establishment directors of ASMobi) to the commercial transportation/logistics market.
The company has been developing self-driving systems integrated with the most advanced technologies such as obstacle detection, information and communication, vehicle control and maneuver, image recognition, self-localization and more. The equipment includes RTK-GPS, SLAM, and Magnetic sensors to help localization and positioning. LiDARs, Cameras, and Milli-Meter Wave Radar are also used for detection. Through the integration of data come from those devices and functions according to the circumstances and environments, ASMobi’s system judges and controls the appropriate movement in order to enable its stable driving.
On ITS front, the best part about the system is that it allows drivers to control the speed using signal linkage even in where visibility and obstacle detection are under worse conditions.
Our mission is to develop the autonomous driving system for mobility," Keiji Aoki, CEO of ASMob
