More Information
Summary:The chapter describes initiatives aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of urban life by understanding the urban situation by utilizing an unspecified number of citizens and sharing collected and aggregated information, mainly using commoditized devices such as smartphones. Specifically, the chapter focuses on efforts to improve the efficiency of road management work by collecting road traffic conditions using a drive recorder application and acquiring sensor data that can estimate the road surface condition. It also shows a crowdsourced bus location service that can be realized at low cost by making good use of BLE beacons and smartphone apps. In addition, the chapter focuses on efforts to collect the “emotions” of people who go and go on the street corner.
