Could you tell us about the overview of the service?

Our company provides "SAVS" (Smart Access Vehicle Service), a service that combines the advantages of taxis (on-demand transport) and route buses (scheduled transport) to perform real-time ride-hailing calculations using AI.

An AI platform in the cloud communicates with smart devices to instantly determine the optimal vehicle route that simultaneously satisfies all spatial movement requirements and desired time constraints, taking into account the ever-changing movement of vehicles, people, and goods. Amidst social challenges such as population decline and a shortage of drivers, this service, which improves user convenience within the given resources, is being used by many local governments and transportation operators.

 

 

For example, in the "AI-powered ride-sharing service," when a passenger requests a ride via a smartphone app, the AI calculates the optimal vehicle and route in real time, taking into account available seats in the vehicle, and the results are notified to both the passenger and the driver. Subsequently, when another passenger requests a ride, the route is changed in real time, and the most efficient vehicle route at that moment is provided. In this way, the routes of all vehicles are calculated simultaneously, enabling the most efficient vehicle allocation throughout the entire city.

Similarly, with bus and facility shuttle services, transportation is provided according to demand, regardless of routes or timetables. Furthermore, it is possible to create the optimal dispatch plan by combining real-time information with advance reservations.

Furthermore, API integration allows you to integrate SAVS into your own applications, enabling you to build various services that combine AI-powered ride-hailing, such as MaaS apps, tourism apps, and delivery systems. SAVS can be used in a variety of scenarios depending on the application, including first/last-mile transportation, promoting movement within tourist destinations and General facility (shop), and providing transportation for the elderly. Please utilize Smart Access Vehicle Service (SAVS) to realize efficient, safe, and secure transportation throughout cities and improve the quality of services that involve mobility.

 

 

Please tell me about map-based features, and their advantages and benefits.

Accuracy of map information is crucial for dispatch calculations and route guidance when using SAVS. By utilizing the latest road information from MapFan (service name: Road Network), we can minimize discrepancies in the pickup time presented to customers and guide drivers along the optimal route to pick them up.

Could you tell us about the circumstances and deciding factors that led you to adopt our map products?

The map information we were using previously had concerns regarding accuracy, such as one-way streets and no-turn/right-turn restrictions. Therefore, we conducted several field tests using MapFan DB's road network data and gathered feedback from drivers regarding the accuracy of route guidance. As a result, we received positive feedback that the accuracy had improved, so we decided to adopt it.

Could you tell us about your future plans?

SAVS is being considered and implemented in a variety of locations, from large cities to sparsely populated areas with declining populations. Some of these areas have complex road networks or are operated by drivers unfamiliar with the local area. By utilizing MapFan 's services, we aim to reduce the burden on users in such areas and create a more user-friendly service.
