Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and vehicle-to-infrastructure cooperative systems were demonstrated on Tokyo's public roads over 25 to 28 February 2009 as part of "ITS-Safety 2010". Vehicles were equipped with ADAS systems such as:

o        Adaptive Cruise Control

o        Collision Mitigation Brake

o        Lane Departure Warning

o        Side Obstacle Warning

The aim of the event was to present the results of the various regional field tests.

The event aimed to achieve similar goals to the ones pursued by the European Field Operational Tests (FOTs). A European FOT delegation, including the European Commission, Dutch ministry and ERTICO-ITS Europe, met with ITS Japan in order to identify ways to strengthen the collaboration between FOT activities in Japan and Europe.
