Volunteer programmers can develop software for people with disabled arms, or paraplegics to use home appliance via voice control. █ When the cost of development and distribution is low, a customized software used only by 100 users can be developed. ● Customization and tuning to each individual is very important when it comes to software that supports the 25 challenged people. Copyright © 2016 by Ken Sakamura IoT bridges the gap between the virtual world in the network and real world "Open API" makes it possible to program real world objects and make them collaborate with each other as in the objects in the virtual world. There are combinatorial explosion of technogical challenges, and there is a possibility of seeing many innovations. 26 Copyright © 2016 by Ken Sakamura Open data for the IoT ④ 27 Copyright © 2016 by Ken Sakamura Open data is very important for the IoT Good educated judgement requires more than dynamic data available from one's own sensors. We need much more context data in the wider surrounding. Static data of the building such as laayout of the floors, facility configuration and layout, and dynamic social data such as weather forecast in the neighborhood, earthquake data, current traffic conditions, etc. 28 Copyright © 2016 by Ken Sakamura Open data is a form of open API "Open data" is data inside databases that can be read via the network using open API. 29 Copyright © 2016 by Ken Sakamura AI is an important component for the IoT Making proper educated judgment based on the big data consisting of realtime sensor data and open data is impossible for the conventional control systems, not to mention the human operators.

" 34 Advances of “Open Data” movement █ Turning government data at the national level into open data ● Many national governments have introduced portal sites after the early introduction of data.gove.uk (UK) and data.gov (USA) ● data.gov started with only 47 data sets, but now has more than 160000 data sets (as of April 2016) █ EU had the head start: UK, France, countries in northern Europe have open data portals with 1-100,000 data sets. 35 Open Data Charter was agreed upon at G8 in June 2013 █ The overview ● Open government data are an essential resource of the information age. ● Moving data into the public sphere can improve the lives of citizens, and increasing access to these data can drive innovation, economic growth and the creation of good jobs. ● Making government data publicly available by default and reusable free of charge in machine-readable, readily-accessible, open formats, and describing these data clearly so that the public can readily understand their contents and meanings, generates new fuel for innovation by private sector innovators, entrepreneurs, and non-governmental organisations. ● The progress has been and will be reviewed at each G8 meeting. 36 Open data in London The Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 triggered the open data movement Transport for London (TfL) released large amount of data 37 Data released by Transport for London (TfL) █ Live data █ Statistics ● bus operation status ● subway operation status ● Traffic survey data ● traffic jam status ● Number of passengers who use ● Data shown on the roadside electric displays London subway ● Rental bicycle availability at docking stations ● Usage statistics of rental bicycles ● Images from traffic monitor cameras ︙ ︙ █ Basic information █ Olympic-related information ● Standard timetable ● EV recharge spot information (until the Games ended) ● Stations, piers, bus stop locations and KML The expected wait time at the feed ● stations during Olympic Games ● Accessibility data of public transportation facilities ● Event-related oute change/control ︙ information during Olympic Games 38 Open data has become the legacy of Olympic Games Many apps and services related to transporation were born. The economic positive effect was estimated to be 20 million to 70 million GBP in the first year alone. Other public transportation operators which had created apps on their own switched to open data approach 39 Apps that provide the live information of public transporation in London have multiplied in numbers.

  • Greater Tokyo Pass “SAKURA Campaign” Will Run from March 16
    March 11, 2019 Greater Tokyo Pass Council “Greater Tokyo Pass” – Now Even More Convenient and Easier to Use! Greater Tokyo Pass “SAKURA Campaign” Will Run from March 16 (Sat.), 2019! ・Extension of the period of validity to five days for a limited time ・Start of advance sales from the day before the beginning of use all year The Greater Tokyo Pass Council, to which 63 railway and bus companies in Kanto have joined, will run the “SAKURA Campaign.” This campaign will see the period of validity of the “Greater Tokyo Pass” extended to five days for a limited time. This pass is a special ticket for foreign visitors to Japan. It gives users unlimited rides for three days on railways, streetcars and ordinary fixed-route buses in the permitted usage area. The reason for this is that many foreign travelers visit Japan during the cherry blossom season. Therefore, extending the period of validity of the “Greater Tokyo Pass” will allow users to visit even more tourist spots in the Kanto area with plenty of charms. Users will then be able to experience the charms and hospitality of Japan. We will extend the period of validity of a “Greater Tokyo Pass” purchased from March 16 (Sat.) to April 30 (Tue.), 2019 during the period of the “SAKURA Campaign” from three days to five days without changing its sales price. Currently, the “Greater Tokyo Pass” is sold only for use beginning on the same day. However, we will start advance sales from the day before the beginning of use all year from March 16 (Sat.), 2019 – the same day as the start of the “SAKURA Campaign.” With this, users will be able to fully utilize the number of days of the period of validity of the pass from the next day onward regardless of the time they make their purchase when arriving in Japan on flights in the afternoon or at night.

  • Cpaas.Io: an Eujapan Collaboration on Open Smart City Platforms
    CPaaS.io: An EUJapan Collaboration on Open Smart City Platforms Noboru Koshizuka (The University of Tokyo) Stephan Haller (Bern University of Applied Sciences) Ken Sakamura (Toyo University) Abstract Data-driven cities and governments rely significantly on data collec- tion, management, and distribution platforms. In this article, we intro- duce CPaaS.io, a collaborative project between Japan and the European Union with the goal of establishing common smart city platforms for de- ployment in real smart city use cases. 1 INTRODUCTION Today, data are crucial to the functioning of society. In fact, it is sometimes said that the most competitive area in information and communications technology (ICT) is not algorithms but data. The ICT National Strategy of Japan known as Society 5.0 proposes a data-driven society in which data help solve problems in the fields of mobility, supply chains, healthcare, and lifestyle to name a few. This will generate further economic growth and increase quality of life. Conse- quently, both in Japan and the European Union (EU), data have been termed the oil of the 21st century. These data come from a variety of sources: the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors, open government resources, social media, and industry and business repositories, not to mention the wealth of personal information from individual users. These can be obtained, linked, and analyzed to extract valuable intelligence and transform our society for a better future. In the deployment of smart city services, providing a platform for data collection, management, and distribution is crucial.
