The free mobility project is being implemented using information and communication technologies to develop a system that removes obstructions to the movement of all people. By 2005, a corroborative experiment had been carried out to survey route guidance services with visually impaired people and wheel-chair users acting as the monitors, to survey multi-lingual store information provision services with foreigners acting as the monitors in order to develop a general purpose system and to survey the performance of communication equipment. These results have been summarized to prepare technical specifications as standards for future development throughout Japan. The technical specifications include overall guidelines that specify the configuration of the overall system and system operation guideline and written technical specifications prepared separately for each element necessary to standardize the equipment that makes up the Free Mobility System.
