This radical programme will help speed transport and cut traffic congestion, while boosting safety. Special AV lanes are being planned by the Japanese Government as part of a wider plan to future-proof the country's road network. The plan will involve the use of the latest traffic control systems as well as in-vehicle technology, in a bid to deliver improved safety for users as well as better traffic flow at peak periods. Camera and sensor technology will be utilised on existing road stretches to identify vehicle movements as well as the presence of vulnerable road users. Safety will be a priority for this advanced vehicle programme. The first road sections to be adapted will be in Ibaraki and the plans for the preparatory work needing to be carried out will be released in late 2023. Once the monitoring technology has been installed and commissioned, the system will be managed by Michinori Holdings. The system should be commissioned by the second quarter of 2025 if the intended schedule is adhered to. |
