Summary of The Future of Mobility

  • Mobility for Humanity

Looking back on history, the movement of people has led to the creation and development of new civilizations, cultures, and industries. In the past, this trend gave birth to technologies like the train and automobiles, which led to the development of new means of transporting ever greater volumes of people and things at ever greater speeds in each different mobility industry. Currently, and in the immediate future, organizations that are traditionally segregated into different industries - automobile, transportation, logistics, electric utilities, and the like - will form new autonomous and distributed ecosystems connected via digital technologies, together creating a human centric mobility society.

  • Megatrends of Mobility

Introducing six emerging megatrends of mobility to achieve sustainable economic growth and solve difficult societal issues by creating diversified mobility services:

  • "Urbanization of mobility": Re-invention of cities by mobility
  • "Democratization of mobility": Mobility that everyone can use and provide
  • "Robotization of logistics": Mobility without human intervention
  • "Mobility as experience": Making movement more fun and appealing
  • "Moving without moving": Mobility that replaces physical movement
  • "Mobility in natural ecosystems": Mobility coexisting with our planet

  • Fujitsu and the Future of Mobility

Using advanced digital technology, Fujitsu is working to realize a human centric mobility future focusing on the following three areas.

  • Collecting

Technology to store the raw data generated by automobiles in a distributed manner and technology to make the image data lighter enable significant cost reduction for communicating and storing the data.

  • Connecting

Enable downloads and updates of vehicle software via wireless networks to ensure safer and secure mobility.

  • Utilizing

A digital twin platform for the mobility sector will enable the virtual modeling of things and events in the physical world, using data collected from vehicles and other external sensors. This technology will contribute to improving the quality of simulations and enhance various functions of vehicles. These technologies will facilitate a rapid, high-precision evaluation of automobile quality during the development process.
