| Internet Intelligent Transport System (Internet ITS) is technology that allows vehicle occupants to access the internet anytime anywhere and use various unlimited information services, utilizing mobile telecommunication technologies based on Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). This opens up a wealth of possibilities by enabling vehicle occupants to freely access web-based services while on the road. Internet ITS creates other benefits-with on-board electronic components wired into the Internet, their performance can be constantly monitored from a remote location. |
| Japan is making important strides in this area. DENSO has joined hands with public and private organizations to initiate the Internet ITS Project (http://www.InternetITS.org/) that started in April 2001. This project is aimed at establishing a common communication infrastructure for ITS applications, thereby facilitating the development of on-board ITS equipment and software. A number of Internet ITS pilot programs have already started in Japan, the biggest involving 1,570 taxis in Nagoya, conducted from January through March 2002. DENSO supplied on-board equipment for the program. By the end of 2002, an Internet ITS Consortium will be established with a large number of organizations including the Internet ITS Project members and covering almost all business areas to realize the internet ITS and promote putting it into the market. |
| To establish the internet ITS, smoothly switching the communication media (mobile phone, Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC), or radio LAN) is required to allow secure access of the vehicles to the internet anywhere. To perform the intercommunication between the vehicles and the information centers, the vehicle side is required to connect the body system LAN, control system LAN, and information system LAN via gateway to an on-board server. |
| DENSO has advanced technologies and expertise in automotive components, electronics and telecommunications, all of which are related to construct on-board architectures for realizing the internet ITS, which DENSO believes leads the future automotive industry. |
