◆Future of ETC2.0 Probe Data Collection and Subcommittee Activities
 ●Organize the actual situation and issues related to the transition of data volume and operation and maintenance of ETC2.0 probe data in the Kashiwa City area, which is acquired from the probe integration server of the Kanto Regional Development Bureau. (Chodai)
・The situation regarding ETC2.0 probe data has changed over the past few years, with social demands and the ability to use the data if one applies for it.
 ●Based on these considerations, we will not insist on obtaining data in real time at the cost of a server, but will operate the system only for this fiscal year.
