(Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Kazuki Otsuka) and ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tatsufumi Shingu) are conducting a demonstration experiment titled “Real-time congestion visualization at taxi stands” at four taxi stands. will do. • In this demonstration experiment, information such as the “real-time congestion situation” of the Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit, Tokyo Station Marunouchi North Exit, Shinagawa Station Konan Exit, and Shinbashi Station Shiodome Exit taxi stand was obtained from NAVITIME, a comprehensive navigation app by Navitime Japan Co., Ltd. We will provide. • Based on demonstration experiments at Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit (2021) and Shinagawa Station Takanawa Exit (2022), we will confirm needs at multiple locations and examine issues with a view to social implementation. 1. Overview of demonstration experiment (1) Target Visualize congestion information at taxi stands at multiple stations and verify changes in users’ action plans to reach their destinations and easing congestion at taxi stands. (2) Name “Real-time congestion visualization of taxi stands (2024)” (3) Implementation details ・Cameras will be installed near taxi stands to collect and analyze data. ・Provide information on congestion at taxi stands to customers on the NAVITIME app. *The video captured by the camera will be used only to count the number of users and visualize the congestion situation. Personal information will not be saved as the video data will be immediately discarded after the number of people has been counted. (4) Implementation location (4 locations) Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit, Tokyo Station Marunouchi North Exit, Shimbashi Station Shiodome Exit*, Shinagawa Station Konan Exit *Shinbashi Station Shiodome Exit will be provided with congestion information except during late night hours.

Questionnaire survey/system evaluation ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Co., Ltd. Providing demonstration experiment equipment (3) Past efforts and future Similar demonstration experiments were conducted at Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit and Shinagawa Station Takanawa Exit to verify needs. The trial results showed that more than 80% of customers and taxi operators expressed a desire to use an app that provides information on the congestion status of station taxi stands, and we received a high level of interest. We have also received feedback from customers who are looking forward to expanding the service to other stations, so we have decided to conduct a demonstration experiment at multiple stations and multiple platforms. Through demonstration experiments, we will examine needs and behavioral changes in other areas, as well as examine new issues based on last year’s demonstrations. Based on the results of this demonstration experiment, we will continue to consider future social implementation.
