Therefore what is requested to transport is to meet the growing demand at the same time human friendly system.
Today innovation in AI, ICT and IoT are advanced year by year. It is the time to fully introduce these innovations to achieve low carbon as well as comfort not only for young and strong working generations but also for elderly and handicapped people.
