Intelligent Mobility Society Design, Social Cooperation Program

Looking ahead to Society 5.0, we, the AI Center of the University of Tokyo, and TOYOTA CENTRAL R&D LABS., INC. are aiming to implement an AI system that supports the designing of the infrastructure and towns which will realize a society with sustainable mobility, and to build ambient living spaces/moving spaces that will improve our well-being in various contexts of movement.

The purpose is to establish the fundamental technology of intelligence that enables understanding of social values and human emotions related to mobility, and to develop academic human resources who will lead the next generation. In the joint research by this social cooperation research division, we are working together on issues such as:

1. Construct a theoretical model for designing a lively "town" to streamline the movement of people, goods, and energy, by utilizing mobility data and information
2.  Solve the mechanism for predicting the emotions of people who live in the town, and establish support methods based on mathematical models
3.  Establish mathematical foundation for complex application systems such as movements and flow of people in the town.
