Aiming for optimal mobility
for a smooth flow of people and goods.

The mobility services at Fujisawa SST continue to evolve and are integrating with regional open services, seamlessly combining transportation options, including car sharing, to offer residents easy mobility as their situations require. While embracing digital technology, the town also values face-to-face connectedness, as it evolves into a fully carbon-neutral community and promotes active and healthy lifestyles.

A new mobility lifestyle is emerging that proposes the best routes and modes of transportation to residents according to their needs and the day’s conditions.

Fujisawa SST provides a total mobility service that includes a sharing service for electric-assisted bicycles (e-bikes) and electric vehicles (EVs), encouraging non-drivers to be physically active and drivers to use eco-friendly cars. This service is now being upgraded with AI technology to propose optimal routes and modes of transportation that take into account a person’s age and physical capacity, the day’s weather, traffic conditions, etc. Residents might get a recommendation to take the train to avoid traffic, combined with using a bicycle share to get to the train station, or a suggestion to use an EV car share for the day. This innovative mobility service will help to reduce carbon emissions, alleviate chronic traffic congestion, and provide elderly residents, whose mobility is often limited, the pleasure of getting out and about.

Green Slow Mobility—an eco-friendly, community-enhancing service.

Green Slow Mobility is a service that addresses local mobility issues with low-carbon transportation that uses low-speed electric vehicles which travel at less than 20 km per hour on public roads. It was first introduced as a mode of transportation within Fujisawa SST as a pilot project, and could be extended to also serve as part of an autonomous vehicle patrol system in the future. The expansion of Green Slow Mobility may bring about an enjoyable new lifestyle that allows people to travel slowly while enjoying conversation, helping to revitalize the community.

Eco-friendly open services such as renewable energy charging and battery sharing will transform the town into a regional mobility hub.

Fujisawa SST does not limit the town to its own services but also incorporates regional open services. Cycle share stations and battery-swap stations, where e-bike batteries can be exchanged for fresh batteries, have been set up in neighborhoods around the town. These facilities serve as mobility hubs, encouraging e-bike use for daily chores or extended excursions.

Expansion of a V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) system will improve energy self-sufficiency and resilience.

In the future, as society shifts toward self-creation and self-consumption of renewable energy, we will expand the application of V2X communication technology that connects EV storage batteries with detached houses, facilities and public spaces, enhancing people’s self-sufficiency and resilience.

Robots and drones will be integrated into daily life, offering a new last-mile logistics service.

Fujisawa SST has implemented a consolidated delivery/on-demand delivery service that consolidates intra-town deliveries and pushes delivery notifications to residents. A new logistics service will be created that integrates human effort with robots and drones to address the societal challenge of labor shortages affecting logistics.

Mobility concierge and Mobility portal – One-stop services recommending optimal service use or the most direct route to your destination by human and technology

Mobility concierge is a one-stop service to offer various total mobility services. As well as accepting reservations, in consideration of the distance, hours of use, change in traffic conditions by time of day, the concierge chooses an optimal mobility service from car sharing or rental car, and selects a means of mobility such as electric vehicles (EV) and makes recommendations. The introduction of places only known to local residents or events will help you use mobility services. The Mobility portal, which enables you to check availability and make reservations on your TV or smartphone from home, also provides car sharing or rental car delivery service use records and thereby allows CO2 reduction check through the use of these services.

The battery sharing service promotes a new mobile lifestyle by eliminating the time and effort for charging batteries of electric-assisted bicycles and concerns about batteries going flat at awkward times: The battery sharing service enables residents to freely replace and use batteries for electric assisted bicycles. It will eliminate the time and effort required for charging batteries after getting home and concerns about running out of battery power while commuting or shopping. We will spread mobility lifestyles with less environmental impact by removing a bottleneck in the adoption of electric bicycles.

Environmental automobile inspection service is also available for improving gasoline mileage and reducing CO2 emissions: Environmental automobile inspections are new criteria in the legal automobile inspection system. The inspections help minimize the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon hydride (HC), nitrogen oxide (NOx), dark smoke (DS) that are harmful to humans and carbon dioxide (CO2), which is thought to be the main cause of global warming. Reduction of gasoline consumption leads to fuel cost reduction. This system will raise environmental awareness by attaching the eco clean sticker to cars that passed the inspections.

Installing electric vehicles (EV) and V2H outlets in the Committee Center as means to provide electricity in emergencies: In emergencies, electric vehicles (EV) and V2H outlets installed in the Committee Center will be open to the public as a valuable emergency power supply and generate energy that people require to live.
