Association for Open Data of Public Transportation has been making available the data related to public transportation to allow anyone to smoothly use the public transportation systems in “Tokyo” which are said to be the most complex in the world. Public transportation open data has many potentials. For example, it is expected that various types of apps can be created by developers across the world, assistance services for foreign visitors and challenged people can be created, and new businesses can be developed by mashing up public transportation data and other data. Prof. Srikanthan starts this session with a speech. The possibilities of “the power of open architecture” in the public transportation field is discussed.

Drastic reforms of the social structure is about to start now toward the age of AI + the IoT. Various types of collaboration at high levels are now possible such as between people and people, between different disciplines, and universities and society based on logical thinking and computer networking. It is said that the current issue is restructuring of universities including reorganizing existing academic fields. Regarding education, one role of universities, human resource development toward a new society is required. INIAD is trying to tackle these issues on many fronts: problem-solving by the collaboration between people with different expertise in a team, education for new students, recurrent education for working people, educational environment by using open IoT where the campus is used as learning material.
