「In addition to beginning efforts to verify safety using a digital twin with a view to deploying automated-driving services in society, we are accelerating initiatives to address social issues such as driver shortages and traffic accidents, including demonstration runs of automated-driving trucks.」
The automated-driving safety evaluations conducted through DIVP and other initiatives have expanded to digital-twin-based safety verification and demonstration runs of automated-driving trucks. - FY2025-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「In mobility, one of our priority areas, we began efforts in Chiba City to verify safety using a digital twin, with a view to deploying automated-driving services in society. Together with partner companies, we aim to realize next-generation mobility, including automated buses, in Chiba City. By conducting simulations in a virtual space, we aim to achieve high-quality safety verification for the deployment of Level 4 automated-driving services. This initiative was commissioned by Chiba City, and is the first project in Japan led by a local government to verify the safety of automated driving in a virtual space.」
The automated-driving safety evaluations advanced through DIVP and other initiatives have expanded to verification in Chiba City of a Level 4 automated-driving service using a digital twin. The initiative is described as Japan’s first local-government-led safety verification project using a virtual space. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「In the manufacturing field, demand is growing for the “Automated Driving Simulation Platform (DIVP®)” operated by V-Drive Technologies, a subsidiary established in 2022, which leverages the CAD and CG expertise our group has cultivated over many years. The number of companies adopting the platform is also increasing steadily.」
Following its commercialization by V-Drive Technologies, demand for DIVP and the number of adopting companies have increased, and its use is expanding toward the deployment of an automated-driving society. - FY2024-Q2AdvancedAnnual report

Following its commercialization by V-Drive Technologies, demand for DIVP has grown, and its application has expanded to safety verification in automobile vehicle development. - FY2023-Q2AdvancedAnnual report
「In addition, we established the new company V-Drive Technologies株式会社 in July 2022 and began providing DIVPⓇ, a platform for evaluating the safety of automated driving. Through collaboration with the DIVP Consortium, which brings together expertise from industry, academia and government in an all-Japan framework, we are pursuing international standardization and aim to expand globally, primarily in Europe.」
Following the establishment of a new company and the start of product provision, DIVP has advanced from the demonstration phase for its simulation model to the commercialization phase, with international standardization and global expansion centered on Europe as its objectives. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「Development has begun on a highly consistent simulation model to conduct highly reproducible safety evaluations under a range of traffic environments. A demonstration test was conducted using a practical version of a simulation model that recreates the environment of the Tokyo waterfront subcenter, the field for demonstration tests in the waterfront area, in a virtual space.」
DIVP’s efforts have advanced from developing a virtual-space simulation model to conducting demonstration tests using a practical version. - FY2022-Q2First statedAnnual report
「Under the second phase of SIP, “Automated Driving,” efforts are under way to build DIVP, a safety evaluation platform. Starting in November 2021, users will be able to experience a simulation model that recreates the environment of the Tokyo waterfront subcenter in a virtual space. Going forward, we will implement evaluation programs designed for operations closer to real-world use and advance deployment in society.」
This is the first explicit reference to the construction of DIVP, a safety evaluation platform, under the second phase of SIP, “Automated Driving”; the planned user experience for a virtual-space simulation model starting in November 2021; practical evaluation programs; and deployment in society.
