Introduction
• Both the private and the public sector are actively developing ITS services in Finland
• The Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications has identified its main role for creating a basis for ITS products, systems and services

FITS 1 - Prerequisites for ITS services
• FITS 1 aims to develop the data systems and services for transport telematics
• The most important projects of FITS 1 are• TelemArk, the Finnish National Transport
Telematics System Architecture and• KALKATI.net, Definition of standard interfaces
for sharing and interchanging traffic information data between actors

The most important projects associated with the PT programme
• The PT information programme will be focused on• passenger information, and• incident management
• The most important national PT R&D and implementation projects will be asked for participating in programme
• At the moment, the national PT implementation projects are mainly focused on developing• passenger information and• multimodal trip planning services
VIKING Seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark, May 31st, 2001 Lehtonen/ 14
ELMI - Espoo and Länsiväylä real-time passenger information system
• In the first implementation stage, ELMI contains• 60 bus lines and about 300 buses
fitted with DGPS positioning devices
• 10 monitors and 11 display boards used to provide passenger information
• The monitors are installed at central places and the display boards at 6 bus stops
• In the near future, the system will be enlarged several bus stops in Espoo

HeLMI - Helsinki Public Transport Signal Priority and Passenger Information
• In the pilot stage, HeLMI contains routes of tramline 4 and bus line 23
• The pilot stage equipment is• 20 buses, • 32 trams, • 50 signalised junctions, and• 15 real-time passenger
information displays. • In the near future, HeLMI will
be enlarged several bus and tramlines in Helsinki
VIKING Seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark, May 31st, 2001 Lehtonen/ 16
HeLMI - Effects• The impacts and socio-economic benefits
of HeLMI pilot stage has been studied• The study showed that
• the travel time has decreased and the regularity and punctuality of service has improved
• the information systems were regarded very positively and useful
• the traffic signal priorities have decreased the fuel consumption and emissions
• the benefit/ cost ratio was calculated to be 3.3

PARAS - Tampere public transportation passenger information system
• In the autumn 2001, the first stage of PARAS will be introduced
• The pilot stage contains• 37 buses• 20 information displays on bus
stops• 6 monitors• 11 signalised junctions
• By the year 2004, the system will be completed to cover the regional public transport system
VIKING Seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark, May 31st, 2001 Lehtonen/ 18
Multimodal trip planning system in Helsinki
• In the autumn this year, a multimodal trip planning service will be introduced in Helsinki• the system is an Internet service that can be used
to find the best route using various vehicles• origin and destination is selected either text-based
search or clicking the map• a choice between a number of optimisation goals
can be made• a number of route alternatives is displayed
• The system is delivered by a Finnish company
VIKING Seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark, May 31st, 2001 Lehtonen/ 19
Other PT telematics projects in Finland
• BUSLAN, Standard in-vehicle bus for public transport
• SIPTS, Services for intelligent public transport systems
• INVETE, In-vehicle terminal for multimodal flexible collective transport services
VIKING Seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark, May 31st, 2001 Lehtonen/ 20
BUSLAN• The BUSLAN -project aims to find and pilot an open,
standard bus protocol• The standard bus protocol enables more compatible
onboard devices• The standard bus protocol will be piloted in Tampere

SIPTS• The SIPTS project aims to
develop a Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) application
• The SIPTS concept includes solutions offered by a call centre, computer software to route the DRT orders and vehicles equipped with communication facilities
• The SIPTS project is sponsored by the European Commission (TEN-T)
• The Finnish parties of the SIPTS Consortium are OY Novacall AB and VTT Automation
VIKING Seminar in Copenhagen, Denmark, May 31st, 2001 Lehtonen/ 22
INVETE• The INVETE project aims to develop and demonstrate of a modular,
multi-application in-vehicle terminal (IVT) for different transport services (regular public transport, DRT, door-to-door, taxi)• The services will be demonstrated in test sites in Finland and Italy.
• The INVETE is sponsored by the European Commission (IST)

Conclusions• In Finland, the PT telematics R&D and implementation
are organised by FITS and Passenger Traffic Information Programme
• The most important short-term objectives are creating a national data bank containing public transport
route and timetable information, developing tools for managing public transport
information, developing operation models and tools for producing
public transport route and timetable information, and development of operation models for public transport
incident management
