Title

 

Toward a Sustainable Smart Mobility Society

 

Abstract

 

Japan is facing an aging issue.  In order to realize a sustainable society for the elderly, it is essential for them to have a mobility to interact in the society.  By creating active mobility with which the elderly can move on their own will, they can participate in social activities.  Under the support by the Ministry of Education, Nagoya University Center of Innovation (COI) aims to realize a sustainable mobility society for the elderly that leads to active and joyful life.

 

During the talk, Prof. Aoki described some of the most remarkable achievements of the COI in this field, presenting advanced driving assistance systems developed by them and specially focused on senior drivers. He also presented advanced smart chairs for sensing of health condition, based on nano-enabled sensors able to capture relevant biosignals.
