The EV sharing testbed utilizes a super-small EV sharing service platform within the campus. It offers opportunities for TMI students to participate in interdisciplinary/industry-academia co-creation research activities and educational program.
This testbed offers the following:
- Opportunities for students to participate in interdisciplinary practicum activities by “examining sharing service – building a management system – operation management”. Students from different disciplines can participate in all aspects from examination of the business model to operation management.
- CASE (Connected, Autonomous/Automated, Shared & Electric) practicums are possible through building a L5G autonomous EV sharing system using the University’s internal local 5G testbed. In addition, working with the dialog system testbed and the autonomous robot testbed, it enables a series of practicum opportunities for technical development, service offerings, and social implementations through perspectives from engineering, informatics, environmental studies, sociology, law, and economy.
- Opportunities for students to gain interdisciplinary knowledge through regular discussions and interactions with researchers in specialized fields and collaborating corporations.
- Opportunities to discuss and demonstrate the lifestyle innovation and the mobility innovation by valuing student-initiated discussions and experiments.
- Utilization of various data collected in the testbed and stored in a database for applicable educational subjects.
