The “Mid- and Long-Term Mobility Vision” Formulated by JAMAThe 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games provide an excellent opportunity to promote collaboration among auto industry and other stakeholders to advance the development of automated driving and other new transportation technologies for the benefit of current and future generations. Accordingly, in March 2018 JAMA formulated its “Mid- and Long-Term Mobility Vision” which, establishing the year 2030 as a critical milestone in the evolution of mobility, emphasizes the need for a multisectoral approach to creating mobility’s future.● SUMMARY OF THE JAMA-FORMULATED MOBILITY VISION● THE POTENTIAL FOR ROAD TRANSPORT: A VISION OF MOBILITY FOR 2030Reaffirming the automobile’s role to date in enhancing people’s lives, the vision not only defines mobility’s multifaceted “universal mission” going forward—which includes improving safety in road transport, reducing its environmental burdens, optimizing its efficiency and accessibility, and creating emotional value—but also identifies priority mobility issues for the future.1.Targeting the year 2030 as a critical milestone, the vision proposes solutions for those priority issues based on the use of automated driving systems, electrification, and connectivity technologies which exceed the limits of human ability.2.The vision advocates the promotion of those solutions to expedite the achievement of zero accidents, zero environmental burdens, optimal efficiency and accessibility in road transport, and the full enjoyment of mobility by road users.3.The vision presents a plan for showcasing the real-world operation of automated driving systems during the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in 2020—a stepping stone in addressing the challenges to be met by 2030—and emphasizes the need for multisectoral collaboration, involving industry, government, and academia, to develop new systems and infrastructures which will constitute crucial legacies for future mobility.4.A world where mobile society bringsPLEASURE to people all around the worldA world filled with smiles and greeneryA world where vehicles, people,and goods circulate freelyA world where everyone feelssafe and secureFor more information and a video on JAMA’s Mid- and Long-Term Mobility Vision, please visit:http://www.jama-english.jp/publications/mobility.html2030Priority mobility issues in the future20XXSafe and secure travel for everyoneFurther reduction of the environmental burdenReduction in travel timeEffective use of travel timeEnhancement of shared mobility / public transportationImprovement of logistics productivityGeographical factorsAbility factorsSmooth travel even for visitors to JapanResponse to increasingly diverse valuesEfficient travelSolutions to travelrestrictionsGo beyondthe limits of human ability with technology• ITS/automated driving• Electrification• ConnectivityProvide solutionsbeyond hardware improvement• Services as well as products• Mobility, not just a car••••••••••From controlling human errors to more advanced risk predictionImprove not only driving performance, but also environmental performance over lifecycleAchieve smooth traffic flow, in addition to providing traffic informationFrom comfortable driving to comfortable and useful ways of using travel timeMultiple forms of transport in addition to sharingFrom reduction of drivers’ workload to needing less personnelImprove the transport efficiency of the whole logistics network, instead of each partProvide sustainable transportation for people/areas facing practical travel restrictionsUniversal transport regardless of language abilityPropose attractive products/services tailored to individual lifestylesNOenvironmentalburdenNO time-wasting ontravelFree travel ofANYONE/ANYTHINGMAXIMUMexcitementNO trafficaccidentsRoad SafetyA Mid-to-Long-Term Vision for Mobility29
