TRANSPORT TELEMATICS - E18 TEST AREAL

Transport telematics solutions for traffic management, information services and winter maintenance were tested and evaluated on the E18 road. The aim of this E18 programme was to develop data collection and processing as well as information dissemination systems and methods, and to integrate the individual systems. The aim was to find out what kind of system would be most suitable for Finnish needs. The El8 programme included about 50 transport telematics projects, which were divided into four categories. The categories were data collection, data processing, information dissemination and evaluation of the systems and their impacts. The aims, main findings and recommendations of each project are introduced in the report. A summary is also given that includes the most important results and recommendations to the four project categories. The project has been granted European Community financial support in the field of Trans-European Networks - Transport.
