This study proposes mid- or long-term innovative transportation & logistics R&D projects based on information and communication technology (ICT), which provide a framework of potential actions for being converged with policy built by government ministries. A national policy for creative economy and peoples’ happiness has been provided since 2013 by each ministry to all the social service sectors including transport systems, in order to be upgraded with innovative ways utilizing ICT convergence.

A general survey and analysis in this study shows the way to collaborate the programs between ministries (10 of MoLIT, 13 of MoTIE, and 13 of MSIP) in order for promoting innovative projects
to be planned, developed and deployed by each ministry within a few years. Five transport technology areas have been selected in this study by experts group designated in public and private sectors to propose the innovative projects: (1) Roadway transport, (2) Logistics, (3) Railroad transport, (4) Aviation, and (5) Automotive Safety. The five innovative transportation & logistics R&D projects based on information and communication technology (ICT) proposed in this study will be expected as a framework of potential actions for being converged with policy built by government ministries from the beginning of next year.
