abstract="Japan's Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) project for safe and comfortable transportation is steadily progressing. To improve safety, information technology (IT) should be applied to most of Japan's traffic environments. In response, the Fujitsu Group has installed IT equipment into motor vehicles in line with a government policy of using IT to bring transportation systems fully into the 21st century. The Group has also developed a millimeter-wave radio ITS sensor that can drastically reduce accidents on railroad crossings. The sensor can detect objects such as people, cars, bicycles, and wheelchairs over a wide area of a crossing. This paper outlines the features of the new sensor and its associated IT system, the development of the sensor, and some applications of this technology.<p />",
