Responding to Structural Changes in Business Driven by Information Technology and Automotive-Related Technologies

「To respond to the major changes in the business structure resulting from the future development of mobility as a service (MaaS), the use of AI and further advances in autonomous driving, we announced a new three-year medium-term management plan, “Medium-Term Management Plan 2027,” with fiscal 2027 as its target year, and began implementing it.」

「As a transportation operator, we continue to study services such as mobility as a service (MaaS) and autonomous driving that improve customer convenience and help eliminate the number of people with limited mobility. In particular, in the autonomous driving field, we have joined RAPOC Lab, an autonomous driving study group organized by The Japan Research Institute, Limited, and are exchanging views with companies in other industries toward the social implementation of autonomous driving.」

「We are also working to develop new services, including by conducting a demonstration test of a mobile telework room.」

「As a transportation operator, we will continue to actively participate in demonstration tests for mobility as a service (MaaS), autonomous driving, demand forecasting services and shared taxis, and strive to provide new mobility services by deepening cooperation with companies in other industries and academic institutions, including universities.」

「In particular, in the autonomous driving field, we have joined the Machinaka Autonomous Service Business Concept Consortium, organized by The Japan Research Institute, Limited, which aims to enable people with limited mobility to travel smoothly within and outside their communities in an aging society, connect local communities with shops and companies inside and outside the community, and create opportunities for interaction among residents, and we are working to develop various services.」

「We will also continue conducting a demonstration test of a multilingual voice translation system to serve foreign customers, actively participating as a transportation operator in demonstration tests in mobility as a service (MaaS) and autonomous driving, and striving to provide new mobility services by deepening cooperation with companies in other industries and academic institutions, including universities.」

「Beginning with the first autonomous driving demonstration test by a taxi operator, conducted in front of our head office in May last year, we participated in an autonomous driving demonstration test in Toyosu in September and signed a memorandum of cooperation with The Japan Research Institute, Limited in December regarding the study of mobility services using autonomous driving technology. Subsequently, in December, we participated as test drivers in an autonomous driving demonstration test in the Kobe area. Since January this year, we have also participated in autonomous driving demonstration tests at the request of Gunma University.」

「In November, we began full-scale operation of “WEB Taku,” a dispatch system that operates through a web browser. In December, we put into practical use Japan's first cross-border reciprocal dispatch application service between taxi operators with 台湾大車隊, Taiwan's largest taxi company. We also worked to strengthen services for business users and foreign visitors to Japan and develop the branding of 大和自動車交通 by participating in demonstration tests for variable pickup charges and flat-rate taxis as measures addressing ride sharing, as well as autonomous driving demonstration tests.」

「In September, under the leadership of NTT DATA, we conducted a second autonomous driving demonstration test in Toyosu, Koto-ku, by training and dispatching test drivers. We will continue working to improve customer convenience and establish new mobility services.」

「In May, we conducted an autonomous driving demonstration test to verify solutions to driver shortages and reduce the burden on drivers. We also established みんなのタクシー株式会社 with 東京無線協同組合, チェッカーキャブ無線協同組合, Sony Corporation, Sony Payment Services Corporation and our company, together with 7 taxi companies, to develop a joint dispatch application (WEB Taku), and are working to establish new mobility services, including a dispatch system using AI technology to forecast taxi demand and payment processing services.」

「In addition, as the first such initiative in the taxi industry, we conducted an autonomous driving demonstration test and will work to provide new mobility services.」

「In the passenger transportation business, to respond to the major changes in the business structure resulting from the further development of information technology and automotive-related technologies, we formulated the three-year medium-term management plan “Start80,” beginning in April 2016, and began implementing it.」

「In March 2016, we formulated the medium-term management plan “Start80,” covering fiscal 2016 through fiscal 2018. As one of the challenges in achieving growth in the hire-car and taxi business, we identified strengthening mobility services focused on specific needs, such as business use, visitors to Japan, personal transportation and facility transfers. We launched a new services promotion project and have worked, through outsourcing to other companies, on designing service models tailored to specific needs and developing applications suited to access via mobile devices.」
