Philippines, Manila – Japan is willing to share their knowledge on automated driving and smart city development as part of a broader roadmap for transport infrastructure program to solve the humungous traffic congestions in the Philippines.
Recently, Japanese professor Toru Hagiwara of Hokkaido University visited the Philippines to share their studies and explore new solutions to the Philippines’ development challenges.
“This kind of automation could apply to the Philippines because system-assisted automated driving can help reduce driver distraction, lessen traffic congestion by shorter head distance and increased expressway travel speeds, and enable people with disabilities more access to open roads,” Hagiwara said.
This knowledge sharing is part of the Japan International Cooperation Agency’s (JICA) efforts to build the capacity of young Filipinos through its Japanese Grant Aid for Human Resource Development Scholarship or JDS.
