In order to achieve sustainable transport system, “Low Emission & Energy Saving”, “Safety & Security” and “Comfort & Healthy” are important target for study. The Advanced mobility research center was established in the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo for the integrated research in April 2009. The activities of the center concentrated to the following three topics: Research and development of ITS (Intelligent Transport System), Advance Railway System, and Personal Mobility. In this presentation, the brief introduction of activities of the Advanced mobility research Center will be shown. For the topics of ITS, transportation experimental space with driving simulator collaborated transportation simulation and its application will shown. For the railway vehicle system, dynamics and control of railway truck including self-powered active vibration control and independent rotating wheel system will introduced. New type of short distance urban transport system named “Eco-Ride” using potential energy will be shown. Finally future mobility mode in urban area, controlled two wheel vehicle is proposed. Some results of trial model in experiments will be shown.
