From Cooperative Traffic ICT
Cooperative Traffic
Cooperative traffic system is making use of data led operations starting from data collection, transforming it to information and sharing the information at all levels of travel and transport decision making.
The cooperative aspect is embedded in the capability of different actors either passively or actively to acquire data and share it with other parts and players of the traffic system.
The Cooperative Traffic Programme develops cutting-edge technology and service solutions for different levels of the traffic system by bringing together major players nationally and internationally and raising the Finnish traffic ICT sector competitiveness to a new level.
Programme's Strategic Research Agenda can be viewed here: CT SRA
This research programme is run by one of the focus areas of Tivit activity
Programme Objectives
The programme overall objective is to develop technologies, services and functions for more efficient traffic system operation and functioning as well as raise Finnish ICT industry in transport sector applications to a high international level and in given areas to world elite.
Target for Our Activity
• Create an active collaboration network between companies and research organizations nationally and internationally.
• Address traffic system as structured whole consisting of different levels and identify the research and development needs on these levels.
• Develop services, functions and technologies needed to support sustainable traffic system on its different levels.
• Identify and build the needed research testing tools and sites for the services and functions validation.
• Study business models for the deployment of developed novel services and technologies.
• Create large-scale pilots for the cooperative traffic eco-system.
• Disseminate the project results effectively to all stakeholders concerned.
The projects under these themes work on and identify the application potential of the themes through pilots, thus being able to pinpoint the business potential of sensor and application technologies to fulfill the cooperative traffic objectives for Sensor, Vehicle, System, and User levels. The envisaged pilots and test sites act as the factual testing grounds for the programme participants’ in-house technology, application and service development.
