Contributing to the Further Development of Safe Social Infrastructure

Mobile spatial statistics represent an attempt to estimate geographic population distribution at various times based on network operations data, which is necessary in order to provide mobile phone services, and put the statistics to good use in public sector initiatives.
In the field of urban development, statistical data on demographic fluctuations over time are needed for urban planning and local revitalization. In the area of disaster preparedness planning, estimates of the number of people unable to return home in a disaster due to public transportation shutting down are needed to develop countermeasures ahead of time. DOCOMO has successfully verified the utility of mobile spatial statistics through joint research with universities in both fields.
We intend to continue promoting joint research with various public institutions and specialists to proactively contribute to society's development.
