We study the advanced driving safety assistance systems with in-vehicle/roadside information, warning and human machine interface for communication between automated vehicle and traffic participants from the viewpoint of human cognitive and behavioral characteristics.

Vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a constraint optimization problem on the number of vehicles, link cost (time or distance), load capacity of each vehicle, various requests of customer on time of delivery or pickup (time window). We study fast and conditional algorithm of meta-heuristic solving VRP, with the goal of rationalizing vehicle routing for logistics.

The UX (User Experience) design not only faithfully responds to the demands that the customer speaks, but also puts in the scope to positively exploit and shape the essential desires and hopes of everyone. We will present examples of recent collaborative researches with some domestic manufacturers.

As a safety management strategy to avoid accidents caused by human factors, expectations for the introduction of Safety - 2 are increasing in addition to conventional Safety - 1. In the safety-critical industries, we introduce the latest research on the management method to carry out both strategies.

Nowadays, in various fields, the use of data analysis attracts attention. In the field of marketing, analysis of data for customer questionnaire survey and the Web environment are conducted. In the medical and sports fields, the use of data analysis is being practiced. We present several data analyses, such as case studies of quantifying customer satisfaction and quality, analysis for management, marketing and sports data.

The control theoretic and systems and control engineering approaches for the urban infrastructures and energy management systems building toward “super-smart city” will be presented.

The research subject includes the approach to build quality in process by data analysis in order to get high customer satisfaction. The major directions are design of experiments, data analysis customer usage data for design process and total quality management in organization.

Our research goal is to make social systems work efficiently and safely. To automate and to enhance security level of business processes are important. this laboratory has been researched such technologies. For the former, there are mining, and conformance verification techniques. For the latter, there are security technologies for complex organization structure and IoT sensors.
