It is expected to promote "smart cities" that solve urban problems by utilizing new technologies such as IoT. For that purpose, it is important to systematically organize new technologies that can solve various problems in cities. This paper conducts a questionnaire survey of local authorities and companies and analyzes the correspondence between urban problems that local authorities want to solve and new technologies owned by companies, as well as the issues utilizing new technologies. As a result, this paper clarified that although the utilization of new technology is in progress in the field of transportation and mobility, the biggest issue is placed in the initial and operational cost of the technologies. In order to promote the implementation of new technologies, it is effective to share information on precedent cases and to develop quantitative evaluation methods extracting the effects of solving urban problems.
