Land and geographic Information
 The whole land of Japan is covered by about 4,300 sheets of
national base map at a scale of 1:25,000. Preparation and updating
of these topographical maps are essential for understanding the
topography of the land as it is.
 Map data are also compiled and made available as digital maps for
ready use on the computer in DVD to be fed as the base
information in Geographic Information System (GIS). The digital
maps are increasingly indispensable as information infrastructure to
the IT society of today and tomorrow.

33. Tokyo Amesh, Protecting people from rain disasters.
 Rain nurtures life and brings comfort to our life. It also provides us with drinking water.
But, concentrated to downpours, rain inflicts great damage on our property and risks our life.
Therefore, accurate rainfall information is essential for proper operation of a pumping station
or a wastewater treatment center.
Rainfall information system “Tokyo Amesh” was firstly introduced in 1988 and was renewed
in 2001. Since 2007, Tokyo Amesh has taken in data from adjoining municipalities to enlarge
observation scope and enhance precision and reliability.

40. Making Spots Where Hard Braking Occurs Frequently Safer
 In collaboration with the Saitama prefecture, Honda has devised a way to
use Internavi data to detect spots where hard braking frequently occurs.
39
 Historically, road safety measures have
been directed only at places with a high
incidence of collisions, while disregarding
locations with a lower incidence of
collision yet potentially dangerous. Data
gathered from Internavi’s “Floating Car
Data” service not only help locate
potentially dangerous spots, but also
provide a comparison basis to quantify the
effect of each measure.
 This intelligent use of Internavi data is now
being expanded beyond Saitama
prefecture. Data gathered in this way are
also used in efforts to reduce traffic jams
and in road planning to help improve the
overall traffic environment.

41. Traffic and Road Closure Information after the earthquake
 ITS Japan provides traffic and road closure information provided by GIA(Geospatial
Information Authority) and four private films.

Society 5.0 Reference Architecture
Society5.0(“Super Smart Society”)
is a society vision in Japan.
It is necessary to aim at “systemization” of services and businesses, system advancement, and coordination between
multiple systems. Therefore, we will promote the measures needed to develop a common platform for this goal
(called “Society 5.0 Service Platform”), through collaboration between industry, academia, and government and the
relevant government ministries.
Society 5.0 Reference architecture is
the basic model for harnessing data.

60. Data framework
 The digital government action plan recommend the following data
framework to all ministries.
 The data framework will make an agile society.
