By connecting or integrating information systems, which can describe a real world using its data, with various physical systems that function in the real world, we are trying to construct cyber-physical coupled systems for solving social issues and optimize various functions in the real world. We call the systems as Social Cyber-Physical Systems. We aim at building an integrated IT platform for the social CPS by studying various technical issues including the following research topics:
1)Pervasive data sensing mechanism and real time feedback capability according to data analysis,
2)Scalable & secure data management platform for real-time complex multi-stream data storage and processing,
3)Complex data analytics, visualization & decision making platform.
Demonstration experiment of efficiency improvement of snow removal in Sapporo
We present a demonstration experiment for improving snow removal services: located in Sapporo, using traffic condition data, weather data, etc., synthesizing both historical and real time live data for analysis and application, with the goal of evidence based support for decision making.
1) Real time data collection and visualization of probe car data from buses, snow removal vehicles, and commercial vehicles, as well as laser scan measurements of road side conditions.
2) Integrated techniques enabling interactive visualization and analysis of diverse data from multiple sources.
3) Crowd sourcing data collection of video and sensor data and traffic event detection using a drive recorder application.
High Precision Tracking System
Hitonavi is a high precision tracking system for pedestrians that can not only detect their positions but also derive their trajectories in real time. The system does not attach special devices to the pedestrians for pedestrian sensing. Therefore, Hitonavi can be used in public spaces where many people walk by every day, and it is difficult to ask them to use particular devices to join the system. Hitonavi measures a pedestrian position by laser-range sensors with high precision. In addition, using multiple sensor devices, Hitonavi can detect crowds in large spaces such as an exhibition and an office floor. Moreover, integrated applications can be developed with positions and trajectories obtained by Hitonavi with environmental sensors and smartphones.
Personalization of Human Centric Energy Efficiency
We are tackling energy-saving issue from the viewpoint "how to maintain comfort for individuals." To solve this problem, we estimate personal activity from sensing data of various sensors, match the activity with observed power consumption, and, then, estimate personal amount of power consumption. Through the feedback of the personalized power consumption state to each person, we can improve energy-saving consciousness of each person. In addition, recommendation of personal activity modification is given to each person to realize energy-saving, such as peak-shift of energy consumption. By these feedbacks, we realize energy-saving with comfort reflecting acceptability of each person.
