FY2012 demonstration experiments: Public transportation-related information (Overview)
○ If various data held by multiple public transportation agencies such as railways and buses become available for coordination and
utilization across operators, it enables providing new services such as transfer information of multiple lines that takes into account realtime delays, movement support information of vulnerable transportation users (the elderly, the disabled, etc.) and the like, contributing to
the resolution of issues in the public transportation area in urban regions.
○ For this reason, a demonstration was conducted to show that it was possible to provide various information services (public transportation
operation information services, vulnerable transportation users support information services, next-generation transportation support
information services) by distributing and coordinating data in such areas along with developing and demonstrating data standards of the
public transportation area.
Implementing Body: Yokosuka Telecom Research Park, Inc.
Coordinating Bodies: JR East, Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, Tokyo Metro Co., Ltd.
(Information on operation of JR Yamanote Line, Tokyo Metropolitan Buses, Tokyo Station facility
information, etc.)

(examples)]
Information on operation of railways
(Traveling location, delay information,
cancel information, cause information of
delays and cancellation, etc.)
Information (facility name, location, usage status,
etc.) of station terminal facilities (ticket vending
machines, ticket windows, kiosks, etc.)

FY2012 demonstration experiments: Public transportation-related information (Applications [1])
Public transportation
information
■ Public transportation operation information service "Dokoshiru"
 Shows real-time location information and timetable information of the
train (JR Yamanote Line) and Tokyo Metropolitan Buses (within 23
wards) by obtaining and using the Information Circulation and
Sharing Platform Common API
 Also shows delay information of each of JR lines in the Tokyo
metropolitan area, all of Tokyo Metro
Shows on the map train and bus
lines, and the entire Tokyo Metropolitan
location information estimated
from real-time operation
Subway lines

 Released on Google Play in March
As of
9:51 pm

■ Next-generation transportation support information service "Kokoshiru Tokyo
Station"
 Estimates the current position of the user in Tokyo Station and
displays it on the map, then shows facilities information (stores, ticket
vending machines, ticket gates, toilets, lockers, etc.) obtained through
using the Information Circulation and Sharing Platform Common API
by coordinating with the current location of the user
 The "Kokoshiru Assistant" function shows convenient surrounding
facilities, in-station shops, toilet locations based on the time remaining
until departure
Introduces recommended spots
from the time remaining until
of Shinkansen and the current
departure and the current location

in Chuo Line express trains traveling into
and out of Tokyo.

FY2012 demonstration experiments: Public transportation-related (Applications [2])
 In addition to the three applications (built by a subcontractor) on the previous page, a subcontractor conducted an open recruitment to build applications (open
recruitment period: JAN 29 to FEB 15).
 As a result, 16 applications went live only approximately three weeks after placing the order.
[Application examples built through open recruitment]
OpenData + RailMaping
•Visualization of information on operation of
Yamanote Line
•Electronic compass that guides to a
designated facility in Tokyo Station
•Shows station status from the route map
SuggestingSensor
• Application that shows Tokyo Station
environment on a proposal basis
HyperTransfer
• Transfer guide that takes into
account delay information
Station fix application
• Application that places improvement
requests on the station
Torebasa!
• Application that collects trains, buses, stations
and bus stops near where the current location of
the user like a game
TokyoStationNavi
•Application that shows facilities around the
NFCtags installed in Tokyo Station by touching
them
[Achievements and Issues]
○ Based on the common API specification, succeeded in building and implementing APIs and data standards (vocabulary, etc.) in the public transportation area, and
verified their effectiveness.
○ When the building of applications that utilize public transportation-related data was openly recruited, various bodies including individuals made proposals. 16
applications were actually built in a short time period of three weeks from the order placement, demonstrating the significance of open data.
○ While JR East and Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation and the like participated in the demonstration experiment, it is necessary to continue encouraging
open data of a wide variety of public transportation operators including private railways in view of enhancing the convenience of users in the future.
