쎲 Information Technology and
Telecommunications
Toyota dealers also serve as sales points for mobile
phones and point-to-point telecommunications
services provided by KDDI Corporation at more than
7,000 sales outlets (vehicle dealers, parts dealers,
rental offi ces, and L&F offi ces) throughout Japan.
Toyota is has also been engaged in the promotion
of functions and services that link cars and mobile
phones, such as hands-free telephones and G-BOOK
services, and in 2012 launched the eCONNECT for
the new Prius PHV and the Toyota Friend service.
Toyota’s information technology and telecommuni-
cations business will come to play an even more
important role as we develop smart grids that link
people, cars and homes.
Non-automotive business operations include
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), information
technology and telecommunications, e-TOYOTA,
housing, marine, and biotechnology and affores-
tation businesses. In each of these operations we
are fostering a workplace culture that encourages
creativity and entrepreneurship. Also, we are
seeking ideas for new businesses outside the
Toyota group of companies as another key aspect
in the creation of future core businesses.
In the fi scal year under review, net revenues
from non-automotive business operations were
¥1,066.4 billion, ¥17.5 billion, or 1.7%, higher than
the previous fi scal year. Operating income also
improved ¥11.5 billion, or 27.5%, year on year to
¥53.6 billion.
Toyota developed the “Big Data Traffi c Information Service,”
a new kind of service utilizing big data that collects and
stores traffi c information via telematics services. Based on
such data, traffi c information, statistics, and other related
information can be provided to local governments and busi-
nesses to aid traffi c fl ow improvement, provide map informa-
tion services, and assist disaster relief measures.
At the same time, Toyota upgraded its existing “smart
G-BOOK” telematics service for smartphones to allow private
users access to “Big Data Traffi c Information Service” content.
The upgraded service features full support for a range of mobility
options, from driving to walking, and features “T-Probe” traffi c
information (available for the fi rst time on systems other than offi -
cial Toyota on-board navigation systems) that enables tailored
route calculation taking traffi c
congestion into account.
In disaster situations, information on roads that remain
open as well as evacuation sites, shelters, and other facilities
can be accessed at any time free of charge. Moving forward,
Toyota is committed to providing increasingly convenient
total life services by promoting the widespread use of its “Big
Data Traffi c Information Service” as well as such linked
services as the new “smart G-BOOK.” The Company is dedi-
cated to building safe communities while supporting infra-
structure that is resilient to disasters.
Non-Automotive Business Operations
TOPICS
New “Big Data Traffi c Information Service”
쎲 e-TOYOTA
Toyota is developing e-TOYOTA business operations
to facilitate the integration of IT services and automo-
biles. We designed and developed the GAZOO
members-only automobile portal site, a three-
dimensional virtual city called METAPOLIS and other
services. In the fi eld of telematics, we are developing
G-BOOK/G-Link, an information service for onboard
terminals, with other telematics services planned for
China and other countries.
쎲 Intelligent Transport Systems
Toyota is involved in the planning and development of
products and services for Intelligent Transport
Systems (ITS). We view this technology as a valuable
way to link motor vehicles and transportation infra-
structures, thereby contributing to sustainable
economic development.
In 2009, we helped create a practical vehicle-
infrastructure cooperative system for safe driving that
prevents traffi c accidents more effectively than
current safety technologies. In conjunction with this,
Toyota developed an onboard communications
device, mainly for expressway use, compatible with
the ITS Spot Service. Also, in 2011 Toyota commer-
cialized the Driving Safety Support System (DSSS),
an onboard navigation system for public highways.
We will continue to increase the number of models
equipped with this device.
Toyota is also engaging in R&D for vehicle infra-
structure cooperative systems, such as actively
participating in public and private sector fi eld trials, so
as to bring them into use as soon as possible.
