Japanese Pre-Study Collaboration regarding Analysis of Traffic Data

Period

1 February–31 May 2008

Project manager

Åsa Valadi

This project will evaluate the possibilities to use existing Japanese traffic data, collected in Japanese projects, especially the ITARDA project and the JARI Drive Video Recorder (DVR) recorder. The general goal of this project is to build up competence about specific Japanese methods and data that could potentially be used by Swedish partners, and to establish a plan for collaboration activities between Sweden and Japan.
