IoT Based Mobility Information Infrastructure in Challenged Network Environment toward Aging Society

In Japan, since aging population and declining birth birthrate are advancing, most of the local areas are suffering from depopulation. The decrease of economic activity is deriving poor social infrastructure such as bad road conditions and challenged information communication infrastructure. For those reasons, it is very difficult to keep the lives and properties of the residents in local areas. In order to recover those problems, IoT based mobility information network is proposed. Road side wireless nodes and mobile node with various sensors and different wireless communication devices organize a large scale information infrastructure without conventional wired network and with very economic and low priced mobility network environment can be realized by V2V and V2X communication protocols. In this paper, the system concept and architecture are precisely explained. The expected applications and services for residents are also discussed.
