Universal Map for Local Government by Using REAL TIME GIS

Because Japan has become an aging society, for example, pedestrian space should have safety and relief for old people. Government and local government have to quickly build barrier-free facilities for elderly people and handicapped persons. However, it is difficult for everyone to know easily the route from their present place to destination with safety and relief. In this research, we will suggest producing a large scale Universal Map (UM) by using REAL TIME GIS, and we actually conducted the tentative experiment by using RTK-GPS and VRS-GPS. The purpose of the research was to confirm that we are able to get absolute position of high accuracy. As a result, it became clear that some experiment fields could not get accurate data. Our laboratory has been proposing to solve those problems by using a new technology of ubiquitous and geoinformatics. The proposed technology will powerfully contribute to the realization of UM.
