Gluon (Meguro-ku, Tokyo, CEO Yasunari Ushio), which handles Takenaka Corporation, Hitachi, and DX-related consulting, announced on the 5th that it will start demonstrating the autonomous driving of personal mobility inside and outside the building from November. A digital twin is constructed by integrating the 3D city model "Project Plateau" provided by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the 3D building model generated by BIM. Full-scale driving demonstration that links indoors and outdoors in real time.
In general, for autonomous driving of personal mobility, it is necessary to drive the target area in advance and create unique map information. A large number of sensors to ensure safety are also required, which is a hurdle to realization. The demonstration was adopted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as part of the project plateau. The three companies aim to operate personal mobility that is continuous indoors and outdoors without prior driving.
Demonstration will be conducted at the experimental site "Common Ground Living Lab (CGLL)" (Tenma, Kita-ku, Osaka) operated by Takenaka Corporation and its premises. CGLL is working on the construction of digital twins to realize a platform where humans and robots can live together.
In the driving demonstration, an electric wheelchair is used as personal mobility. We verified the effect of continuous autonomous driving inside and outside the building and smooth driving using digital twins, which was difficult until now. We will also develop integrated methods for 3D city models and 3D building models, build urban-level digital twins, and create guidelines for social implementation. The verification results will be summarized and submitted to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism by March 2023.
