Corporate Profile

Vehicle Communications Networks

CybersecurityNext-Generation Smart Center

Data Engineering and Analytics Mobility Services Platform

We conduct research and development of technologies to connect the next-generation connected vehicles to everything else via radio or electronic communications. Our aim is to enable the vehicle-to-everything communications, as well as the vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-to-roadside equipment communications.

We engage in cybersecurity technologies research, development and standardization for providing "connected services" to enrich customers.

We develop technology to extract useful information from a huge amount of data obtained in vehicle's entire life cycle̶from design and testing, manufacturing, selling, driving by users through maintenance ̶using machine learning or deep learning.

We perform research and development toward Next-Generation Smart Center for connected vehicles. Especially verification of the cutting edge technology and new architectural proposal.

We conduct research and development of the architecture of the mobility services platform that enables the creation of new services and knowledge extraction from analysis.

Next-Generation Smart Center Architectural Proposal

We study the performance of the radio system or communication algorithm used for next-generation connected vehicles by proving tests.The tests are carried out on public reads, or test tracks that replicate the real-world traffic and road environments.

We develop, standardize and validate the next-generation network technology essential for the processing of a huge amount of data exchanged between vehicles or vehicles and data centers.

Toward the future where connected vehicles are commonplace, we make proposals of use cases or requirements and carry out standardization of development technologies in various communications communities.

R&D Vision

To realize the future “Mobility Society with the Connected Car”

We aim to create new values for cars and mobility society through Connected

Element technologies supporting the “Mobility Service Platform”

We conduct applied research on advanced element technologies to realize “Mobility Service Platform."

Message from the PresidentToyota's commitment is not limited to car manufacturing and distribution, but includes delivery of the "new mobility" corresponds with every service that supports people's lives.

In the automobile industry these days, we see rapidly growing needs for the big data collection and utilization, including the improvement of manufacturing processes through big data analysis, utilization of AI in the automated driving, software update via OTA (*1) and expansion of MaaS (*2) such as car-sharing.

In the near future, every car will be a connected car (*3), which is equipped with the communication function.As well as being superior in safety and performance, it provides personalized services tailored to driver's personal characteristics or preferences and works as an interface connecting the driver to the Internet. Moreover, it will be part of the social infrastructure that forms not only a network among cars, but a network among cars and society.

The new mobility society, which is formed through utilization of the data exchanged over the connections between the cars, people, things and society, cannot be realized without the open collaboration of not only automobile companies but various different companies.Toyota's Mobility Services Platform will serve as a foundation to enable it.

As a front runner in Toyota, Toyota InfoTechnology Center (ITC) will strive towardthe realization of the next-generation network, edge computing and other mobility servicesaiming to the creation and realization of the new mobility society,with the slogan "Envisioning Mobility for All.“We will also act as a front end interface between inside and outside of Toyota

and actively advance cooperation with stakeholders in industry, academia and governmentat our two facilities in Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan and Silicon Valley, US. We will be devoted to implement all available strategies to find the competent peopleto work with in order to achieve our goals.

Thank you for all your past and future support and we look forward to serving you.

(*1)OTA (Over the Air): Wireless delivery of data.(*2)MaaS (Mobility as a Service): Provision of transport solutions for people and goods as a service.(*3)Connected car: A car that is capable of communicating with the outside world using cellular phone lines,

Wi-Fi, DSRC or some other channels.President and CEO Takashi Imai
