The Hokkaido Development Bureau is currently promoting R&D on ITS technology intended for Hokkaido's cold snowy climates called "ITS/Win Research Program". In this program, open application-based public/private joint research projects were conducted, and the XML Technology-based Road Web Makeup Language (RWML) developed. This paper discusses the background of this development and the mobile multimedia service model using XML technology. Five service models such as Mobile Sensor Service, Mobile Personnel Support Service, Mobile Support Service, Mobile Edu-taimnent Service, Mobile Commerce Service are proposed. In addition, to realise such services, Personalised Mail (PM), Personalised Web (PW) and Data Broadcasting for Personalised Application (DB4PA) are recommended as applications.
