    flow data ◼ Mechanism to enhance QOL by using outdoor spaces in urban center area ◼ Information providing system for people with difficulty returning home in the event of disaster ◼ New lifestyle with/after Corona : avoiding closed, crowded, and close-contact settings Provision of real-time human flow data from above and below ground during daily life and disaster is necessary. Evacuation route guidance based on human flow in urban area Effective information provision in the event of a disaster
  4. Goal and Overview Overview ◼ Route simulation was conducted by

    merging congestion information and spatial information. Route guidance in normal situations was distributed via a web application and its effectiveness was verified. (Part A) ◼ Route guidance to evacuation sites and disaster information were distributed under the assumption of a disaster situation and its effectiveness was verified. (Part B) ◼ The web application and 3D viewer data was made public, and opinions about its effectiveness and problems were collected through a questionnaire survey to identify issues for social implementation. (Part A / B) Goal 4 ◼ Realizing safe and secure life in Tokyo using real-time human flow forecasting data ◼ Encouraging people to avoid congestion and improve awareness of disaster prevention and evacuation
  5. 6 Area: Aboveground (Part A / B) 出所:Tokyo Digital Twin

    Smooth NAVI 【Legend】 :Demo Area :Info Device Reasons Otemachi, Marunouchi, and Yurakucho areas were selected as aboveground demo area. Many visitors made regular real-time data collection easy • Largest office district in Japan with large daytime population, made it easy to measure human flow. • 42,000 people had difficulty returning home on weekdays, while the capacity is 21,000 (estimated March 2020), recognized seriously. Public-private partnerships made it easy to collect and link data • Leading area for the Smart Tokyo Implementation Strategy • Active Private area management organizations • Leading model project for the 2019 Smart City Model Project (publicly solicited by the MLIT) Existing services could be linked and compared with • The issues to be addressed in this demonstration could be clarified by comparing with existing services. • This could serve as a trial for public-private partnerships in the future, such as route search service collaboration and background data sharing.
  6. 7 Area: Underground (Part A / B) The corridor between

    Shin-Marunouchi Bldg. and Marunouchi Bldg. was selected as underground demo area. Reasons Source: Marunouchi Map(Mitsubishi Estate) https://www.marunouchi.com/files/pdf/j_jp_02.pdf Vaccin ation site ① ② ③ Many passers-by made regular real-time data collection easy • This corridor is regularly used by commuters and shoppers to the Shin-Maru Building and Maru Building, so many human flows can be measured. Gyoko-dori Street was used as a vaccination site • During the demonstration period, Gyoko-dori Street was used as a vaccination site, and an increase in human flow is expected as a detour route. Other conditions • Power supply for sensors was available • 3D digital map of the area had already been developed by the Urban Development Bureau. Marunouchi Building Shin-Marunouchi Building
  7. Data Collection 9 Comparing the characteristics of each sensor, smartphone

    GPS was employed. Smartphone GPS Camera Wi-Fi packet sensor Bluetooth System GPS location data of smartphones is anonymized to get human flow in the specific area. Optical cameras are installed on sidewalks, etc., and human flow is measured using image recognition technology. Human flow is measured based on the number of devices using Wi-Fi function in smartphones. Human flow is measured based on the number of devices using Bluetooth function in smartphones. Problem Entire human flow cannot be measured due to the dependance on certain smartphone carriers. Privacy issues must be considered when facial images are acquired. Human flow cannot be measured when Wi-Fi function is turned off. Human flow cannot be measured when Bluetooth function is turned off. Decision Adopted with calibration based on entire human flow measured with other devices. Not adopted due to privacy issues Not adopted because the ON/OFF ratio of Wi-Fi function cannot be estimated. Not adopted because the ON/OFF ratio of Bluetooth function cannot be estimated.
  8. Forecast data at present and 1 hour later was made

    based on real-time human flow data, calibrated with fixed sensors. 10 Aboveground: Real-time Human Flow Data Detail Data name LocationMind xPop About data Data based on GPS data in NTT docomo devices Processing method Human flow in Otemachi / Marunouchi / Yurakucho Area(Daimaruyu area) was analyzed and index data of density of human flow was made for each road link. (When route guidance is set as an output, showing human flow by road links is more likely to reflect actual congestion on a route than showing by groups of buildings. Also, GPS data inside buildings is often missing because they do not move, which poses a challenge to accuracy.) Note To minimize the influence of time lag, forecasts were made based on current data. Decision ◼ Forecast data at present and 1 hour later was made based on real-time data provided with a delay of about 1 hour. ◼ Forecast was calibrated with human flow data collected by fixed sensors (LiDAR, camera). ◼ Fixed human flow sensors were installed with permission from building management companies.
  9. Aboveground: Real-time Human Flow Data Fixed human flow sensors were

    installed in order to count all passers-by and improve the accuracy of data. Method Environment Equipment: Cameras and LiDAR on sidewalks, etc. A pair of camera and LiDAR measure pedestrians on both sides of sidewalks. Location: Sidewalks of Naka-dori Avenue, etc. Measurement: Pedestrians on Naka-dori Avenue 11

  44. 3D Viewer: Survey Results (6/6) Additional information is needed to

    let users have clearer image of evacuation routes. 49 Evacuation route guidance Key Points of Improvement ❶ Names of streets and intersections ❷ Street trees and landmarks ❸ Images and names of buildings ❹ Length and time required of routes ➎ Suggestions for alternative routes 3 2 1 4 5 For use in the event of a disaster ◼ Usable size of data for smartphone ◼ Switchable to 2D ◼ Real-time information such as dangerous locations
  45. Results The usefulness was verified of information provision on congestion

    and disaster using real-time human flow data. 51 ◼ Real-time human flow forecast data was provided via the web app for Daimaruyu area, including underground spaces, where tend to be crowded. ◼ Survey results confirmed that providing congestion levels and congestion avoidance routes was effective for encouraging congestion avoidance behavior. → A certain number of the web app users searched congestion avoidance routes, and about 70% of them adopted the searched routes, with about 90% of them realizing its usefulness. [Part A] Real-time human flow forecast data was provided and its usefulness was verified. ◼ 3D evacuation routes and other practical data were provided via the 3D viewer and the web app for Daimaruyu area to improve awareness of disaster prevention in daily life and encourage evacuation in the event of a disaster. ◼ Survey results confirmed it was effective to provide services for disaster (3D evacuation route guidance, offline information provision during disasters) in combination with daily services. → About 70% of the respondents answered the evacuation route display in 3D viewer was useful. → About 70% of the respondents answered offline information during disasters was useful. [Part B] Evacuation routes were visualized 3D and improvement in awareness was verified.
  46. Issues (1) Clarity and simplicity of the service should be

    improved. 52 ◼ 3 color-coded levels may not be enough to show situations of congestion objectively. ◼ More specific information on congestion level is needed to encourage behavior change. Display method of congestion level ◼ A certain amount of time is required before real-time human flow data displayed on screen due to preprocessing processes such as map matching, traffic mode determination, stay object determination, and concealment. ◼ To be more “real-time”, a logic to make the preprocessing quick and accurate should be developed. Accuracy and speed of congestion level display ◼ Data volume was not the point in this demonstration, since the purpose was letting users to check evacuation routes in advance and foster evacuation awareness in daily life. ◼ Supposing a disaster where services cannot be provided continuously with telecommunication restricted, the amount of provided data should be revised carefully. Data volume for use in the event of a disaster
  47. Issues (2) Displayed congestion levels did not always reflect actual

    situations accurately. 53 The system showed this vacant area as “a little crowded”. Cause 1: In urban short trips, GPS accuracy was lowered by many tower blocks. Cause 2: The prediction method of human flow was not satisfactory. Cause 3: Error due to the difference in the time when data was calibrated. Data collection Processed past data Predictive model learning Preprocessing Future forecast Calibration and anonymization Send to Web system
  48. Issues (3) The service should be easy to use for

    everyone. 54 ◼ Color Universal Design → In this demonstration, three colors (red, yellow, and green) were used for color-coding of congestion levels. The color-coding should comply to the Tokyo Color Universal Design Guidelines to be used by various people. ◼ Language support → The web application basically supported English, but some parts were displayed in Japanese, limiting information in English. The same amount of information should be provided in other languages. ◼ Voice guidance → Voice guidance of congestion avoidance route can be helpful for visually impaired users. Universal design
  49. Issues (4) It is essential to expand over a wider

    area with safety and security. 55 ◼ System for utilizing data from various devices in a wide area like entire Tokyo → Multiple entities will install various sensors so the system for integrating data is necessary. → A method is needed to utilize GPS data in areas where data is kept secret due to small population. Integrated human flow data for a wide area ◼ Privacy consideration in the collections of personally identifiable information → Even when anonymized, individuals may be identified by combining other data. Regulations for data use in compliance with the revised Personal Information Protection Law and other related laws and regulations. Privacy-conscious collection and use of data
  50. Information and Functions Needed Useful information and functions were identified

    for congestion avoidance and evacuation. 56 Information Function Daily life Real-time ◼ Lifeline (road closures, traffic congestion, etc.) ◼ Live video (for grasping congestion levels) ◼ Congestion level in buildings and stores ◼ Congestion level in rest areas (place to sit, etc.) Route search ◼ Search by lot number or keyword ◼ Underground area ◼ Barrier-free route Others ◼ Underground exit numbers ◼ Barrier-free information (steps, etc.) Others ◼ Display of current location including underground ◼ Display of time required Disas- ter Real-time ◼ Lifeline (public transportation status, etc.) ◼ Live video (for grasping damage in surrounding area) ◼ Congestion of disaster evacuation sites ◼ Acceptance status of each building for people with difficulty returning home ◼ Congestion and availability of accommodations ◼ Operational status and availability of restrooms, elevators, free Wi-Fi, rechargeable spots, etc. Route search ◼ Safe routes to evacuation shelters or homes ◼ Alternative routes Others ◼ Entrance of disaster evacuation sites ◼ Evacuation shelter (where, how to use) ◼ Bases for relief supply distribution (where, how to use) ◼ Locations of restrooms, elevators, free Wi-Fi, rechargeable spots, etc. Others ◼ Display of current location ◼ Voice guidance ◼ Display of time required
  51. 58 Future Direction Technical and operational issues will be addressed

    and a system for expanding over broader area will be considered. We aim to realize safe and secure life in Tokyo by providing information of congestion and disaster based on real-time human flow data. Technical issues Operational issues ◼ System for expanding over broader areas in Tokyo ◼ Method of acquiring and using human flow data with the consideration of privacy ◼ Congestion display method ◼ Accuracy of congestion information ◼ Reliability in the event of a disaster ◼ Universal design ×
