The Civil Engineering Research Institute of Hokkaido has been promoting the ITS/Win Research Program for research and development of ITS technology intended for Hokkaido's cold and snowy climates. The program has been developing XML-based Road Web Markup language (RWML). XML is a next generation Internet language. The R&D includes an on-demand server technology that will enable road users to access a variety of information, concerning roads, sightseeing, events, and municipal services including facilities, weather information and disaster prevention, using in-car mobile terminals of a car navigation system or Internet-accessible mobile phones. This paper outlines the characteristics of field experiments.
