| Summary | We are conducting research and development of traffic flow smoothing cruise-assist services applying AHS (Advanced cruise-assist Highway Systems) based on the concept of 'Smartway', to integrally realize diverse ITS services through road-vehicle cooperation. As a part of the approach, we have conducted research to create a practical lane utilization rate optimization service for sag sections: locations of frequent congestion on intercity expressways in Japan. |
