Abstract

The Next Generation Traffic Management System (UTMS´21) is a new initiative to be developed by NPA (the national Police Agency) of the Japanese government. UTMS´21 can be developed by adding image processing technology, HELP (help system for emergency life saving by public safety agency) and DS³ (driving safety support system) to the existing UTMS (the universal traffic management system). Above all, DS ³ must be a core program of the UTMS´21 and the essential technologies such as infrared beacon and driver´s license IC card will be used for increasing the safety of driver as well as decreasing the occurrence of traffic accidents
