INTERNET TECHNOLOGY-BASED ROAD INFORMATION SYSTEMS - ITS/WIN: ITS FOR WINTER TRANSPORT REVOLUTION
Yasuhiko Kajiya · 1998
The Hokkaido Development Bureau is currently promoting ITS technology R&D intended for cold climates called Research Program. The Program aims to improve the safety and efficiency of winter transport, and focuses especially on Internet technology. The ITS/Win is featured by active use of the Internet and by public/private joint research projects initiated in December 1996, from open application. In this paper, the results of a road information provision experiment using the Internet technology that was made in Hokkaido are reported, including the Greater Sapporo WHITE-NET Experimental Project and the Mountain Pass Image Transmission Experiment. A method is also propposed to use XML technology: Road Web Markup Language (RWML) in the road information field and the impact of Internet technology on ITS is considered.
