Japanese ITS - CACS
CACS (comprehensive Automobile Traffic Control System) was the first initiative in Japan and perhaps in the world to launch and to test the performance of advanced information technologies for vehicle and roadside facilities interface.
The project was deployed in Tokyo from 1973 to 1979 through the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology (AISI) and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI). Two government research institutes and twelve private corporations participated in the CACS project, at a final cost of Y7.3 billion.
Development of a dynamic, interactive route guidance system was the most challenging
and extensive component of the
CACS project.
