The Advanced Road
Transportation System (ARTS) that is the next-generation Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) will be available in 2012. ARTS will deliver such
information as inter-vehicle distance and empty lanes in addition to traffic
jams. The government plans to install the antennas for this system in a total
of 1,600 spots on super express highways across the country. This decision
makes it possible to provide information on traffic jams in other prefectures
even if you are driving inside Tokyo. In the future, ARTS will let the driver
know which lane allows him to driver faster. The demonstration test will start
soon.
The car navigation
system supporting ARTS can be loaded on Toyota’s Lexus, and Nissan also responds
to the request from applicants. Consumer electronics manufacturers like
Panasonic are busily developing the car navigation system for ARTS. The new and
more sophisticated car navigation system will allow for settlement on the
screen. Users will be able to pay for parking, gasoline, and purchases on the
service area by the navigation system in place of credit card. They will also
be able to get the shortest driving route to the specific parking lot of the destination
that they designate on the screen.
