City of Tampere
200 000 inhabitants in Tampere (450 000 in
greater area) An Early Adopter of ITS in
Finland Traffic in a nutshell
5
Background

• Limited possibilities for traffic caused by the
  location and estimated growth in traffic volumes
• (about 30 between years 2002 and 2020)
• No existing street traffic information system in
  Tampere
• need to provide information -gt collecting methods
  are costly -gt new methods are welcome
• A possible solution is
• finding appropriate cost effective methods for
  the traffic data collection as an alternative to
  the costly investments on fixed roadside devices.
  
• intelligent way to serve travellers by help of
  personalised traffic information

6
Objectives
to create a cost-effective method to utilise
existing devices to collect traffic data to
produce comprehensive traffic flow information on
the city network to deliver personalised
traffic information to the travellers to
integrate various data sources ASAP

The development projects

• Profiled multi-channel traffic information
  based on traffic signal detection (LIVAINFO)
• Autumn 2004 - Summer 2005
• Created the Traffic in Tampere service

• FCD in providing real time traffic information
• (FCD-INFO)
• Spring 2005 - Spring 2006
• Expanding the data gathering of the Traffic in
  Tampere service

Both part of RD programme on real-time transport
information (AINO) by Finnish Ministry of
Transport and Communication

System overview
10
Use cases

• Registration, Log in and Update user
  information
• Daily users give their very own preferences
  concerning the service, e.g. the most likely
  corridors to be used
• Users can update their personal information
• Users log in to the service by their user data

11
Use cases
Registration
12
Use cases

• Read news notices and Query traffic
  information
• Users can read the latest news and operational
  notices (personalised by profile) published by
  city authorities
• Users can query the traffic information on
  certain streets information of user own streets
  is served first
• (also non-personal information available by net
  browser)
• Any problems detected are shown on map and as text

13
Use cases

• Traffic conditions detected
• Normal traffic
• Weakened traffic conditions The capacity of the
  street has decreased due to high traffic flow or
  some incident. Moving is getting more difficult.
  
• Congested traffic Vehicles are blocked and
  moving is slow.
• Traffic lights not operating The traffic signal
  device on the intersection is either blinking
  yellow light or not operating at all.
• compliting data to come

14
Use cases
15
Use cases

• Feedback
• User can send feedback through the system

16
Use cases

• Publish news and notices Analyze user data
• Service Provider can publish news and notices
• Service Provider can analyze user data e.g. for
  planning purposes

17
Next steps

• New features specified in FCD-INFO project
• FCD from 400 taxies
• Real time traffic and speed data from existing
  automatic measuring units of National Road
  Administration
• Incident information automatically to officials
  and to the Traffic Management Center
• Implementation to start in autumn 2005, piloting
  in spring 2006
• Tools for the transport authorities to analyze
  the traffic data.
• Integration of some multimodal features in near
  future (e.g. public transport and parking
  information) ?

Best practices (1)

• Innovative use of existing technology is a
  cost-efficient way to
• delay or even replace major investments on
  completely new technology,
• make also the traffic information services
  commonly accessible now,
• give support to transport planning,
• get maximum benefits out of the investments made

20
Best practices (2)
Today EC-Trak and Omnivue widely used e.g. in
Nordic countries, commercial fleets use systems
enabling FCD (e.g. taxi companies), fixed
measuring units collect real-time traffic
data, The Finnish National Architecture for
Transport Telematics (TelemArk) determines e.g.
public interfaces, innovative solution provider
recognises potential value added for various user
groups
Various data sources accessible interfaces
innovation smart cost-effective services for
the end-users and business users
