Abstract:
Public vehicles are considered a valuable resource, as increasing attention has been paid to the effective use of government owned resources. In addition, the development of on-board road surface condition detector and car sharing are also considered valuable activities. Though the utility potential of public vehicles is likely high, no full-scale data analysis at municipality level exists. In this study, we analyzed the extensive data collected by the “working car project” that was established in 2014 by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). The goal of this study is to thoroughly explore the optimum utilization of public vehicles, and discuss the potential vehicle usage patterns. Specifically, based on vehicle operation record of Kakogawa City and Fujisawa City, we analyzed the link coverage rate, assuming that the role of daily inspecting the public roads would be given to the public vehicles, and examined the vehicle use optimization and centralized dispatching system in Kakogawa City Office. The study findings indicate the potential for car sharing.
