because of his research and technology. What is important to realize his research and technology.)

Mobility & motorization history with three evils term

Before the car had not been invented, mobility choices are only limited, such as walking,
using tame animals, or riding a carriage. They are all need some infrastructure to let hem
move, for instances road. In 1886, a combustion engine vehlce was invented, and
because of that traffic engineering initially was needed to cope the development on
automative transport. However, automative transport is inseparable to what we know
as three evils, such as traffi congestion, traffic accidents, and environmental impacts. To
encounter these problems, road transport system should be considered, and interaction
between its elements shold be carried out.
- Congestion & bottleneck
Bottleneck is a caused of traffic congestion. It is occured when traffic demand is
larger than road capacity due to narrow road and it caused queue behind.the
users who are not intend to use the bottleneck will also be involved.
- Automated driving
Automated driving technology can reduce the three evils of road transport and
introduce new transport service. It can prevent bottlenecek effect due to
suddenly speed reduction.

Mobility under the effects of pandemic covid-19

At he time of pandemic covid-19, people are instructed to stay at home andrefrain for
non-urgent outings. This affects to crisis for public transporation which is riding
together. In pandemic situation, it is difficult to go outside unless urgent mobility such
as emergency life saving activities, fire fighting, and so on. We need to reconsider the
traffic demand which is divided into two categories, principal demand and derivative
demand.

Traffic signal control

- Optimization of multile signalized intersections
The optimization is carried out both on local and global area. The project is
optimized by AI to control multiple sensor.
- Adoption to super-aged, infrastructure maintenance
Currently the connecion of signal is very expensve and it is needed to be efficient.
The signal should be kept alive when the power souce is shutting down.
- Paradignm-shift promotion with safety & efficiency balance
The traffic signal need to be developed in order to have functions for power
supply, wireless communiation, sensor, and control algorithm.
