Mirai Share

What Mirai Share does

Mirai Share Co., Ltd. (株式会社未来シェア) is a privately held Japanese company, founded in July 2016 as the first formal university spin-off from Hakodate Future University. The company develops and operates SAVS (Smart Access Vehicle Service), an AI-powered cloud platform for real-time on-demand transportation dispatch. SAVS uses proprietary optimization algorithms — including a patented MaxSAT-based dispatch engine (Patent No. 7294660) and deterministic annealing batch-dispatch logic — to assign passengers to vehicles in under one second on average, supporting full-demand, semi-demand, and fixed-route operations simultaneously, mixed passenger-cargo transport, and fleets of up to 230 vehicles per area. The platform consists of Passenger, Driver, and Call Center web apps, with add-on modules including the SAVS Operation Simulator (SAVS OS), SAVS Analyzer, SAVS Log Viewer, and a publicly documented SAVS Open API (released February 2026).

The company sells primarily to Japanese municipal governments and public transport operators, with deployments in 50+ cities and regions across Japan addressing rural mobility gaps, driver shortages, and inefficient fixed-route services. Revenue is generated through subscription and usage-based SaaS contracts: the Vehicle-Based Commercial License (¥100,000/month base, ¥500,000+ initial), the Dispatch-Based Commercial License (¥50,000/month base plus ¥10–30 per dispatch), SAVS OS tiers at ¥250K–¥1M/month, plus configuration services and add-on integrations such as LINE ID login. Strategic partnerships with JTB Corporation (capital and tourism MaaS, 2019), NTT Docomo (demand prediction, 2017), Sapporo Holdings, Ekitan, Pioneer, and Geospatial Technologies extend the platform's distribution, data, and navigation capabilities. Mirai Share is headquartered in Hakodate with offices in Yokohama (regional HQ), Tsukuba, and Sapporo, and was selected for Japan's MLIT FY2026 (R8) "Traffic Void Elimination" Re-design Project in April 2026.

• Spare Technology: Canada-based microtransit platform used by transit agencies in North America, Europe, and APAC for on-demand routing and booking. Direct functional competitor in AI-powered DRT dispatch software for public transport operators.
• Padam Mobility: European SaaS platform for on-demand and paratransit transit serving public authorities. Closely comparable technology and customer profile to SAVS (municipalities, DRT, microtransit) and competes for the same category of public-sector contracts.
• SWAT Mobility Japan: Japan-focused on-demand transit SaaS provider for local governments and transport operators; co-member of the AI On-Demand Transport Research Association alongside Mirai Share. Competes head-to-head in Japanese municipal DRT RFPs with a similar AI dispatch approach.
• Pantonium: North American on-demand transit software provider for transit agencies, focused on real-time routing for small and mid-sized fleets. Direct functional comparator in the AI on-demand dispatch category for public transport.

Broad incumbents

• Aisin: Large Japanese automotive supplier with a growing on-demand transit and mobility-services software portfolio. Co-member of the AI On-Demand Transport Research Association; competes in Japanese municipal DRT with a much larger balance sheet and incumbent OEM relationships.

Emerging players

• Community Mobility: Japan-focused on-demand community transit operator and software provider; fellow AI On-Demand Transport Research Association member. Targets similar Japanese rural and suburban municipalities with on-demand bus/taxi dispatch.
• Willer: Japanese long-distance bus operator increasingly active in on-demand and shared mobility software; AI On-Demand Transport Research Association member. Brings deep Japanese transit operations know-how to compete for municipal on-demand contracts alongside Mirai Share.
• Next Mobility: Japanese on-demand/multi-modal mobility software startup and fellow AI On-Demand Transport Research Association member. Overlaps with Mirai Share on MaaS and on-demand dispatch for Japanese public-sector customers.

Others

• Optibus: AI optimization platform for public transit scheduling and operations. While focused on fixed-route planning rather than real-time DRT, the underlying optimization technology and public transit agency customer base are comparable to Mirai Share's SAVS.
