1. Building traffic data ecosystem powered by APIs May 27, 2023 Janne Lautanala Fintraffic
3. 45 000 000 000 € annually 30.5.2023 2 According to the EU’s strategy on Industrial and commercial data, cross-border use of traffic data is expected to create an additional EUR270 billion in GDP for EU Member States by 2028 400 data sharing ecosystems exist within the EU in the mobility sector - EIT Urban mobility (https://www.eiturbanmobility.eu/400-data-sharing-ecosystems-exist-within-the-eu-in-the-mobility-sector/)
4. Finland’s share scaled ~500 000 000 € Annually in safety, smoothness, pollution reduction, cost reduction, increased revenue, new business models… 30.5.2023 3
5. Services implemented by Fintraffic (Situational awareness, etc.) Services implemented by the service operators Digital end user services Road Rail Maritime Air Traffic Crowdsourced data External data, partner data Sensors, intelligen algorithms Digital Ecosystem Services Services for citizems Services for Traffic Operators Services for authorities Fintraffic Traffic management & control services Palveluiden käyttäjät (kansalaiset, liikennealan toimijat, sovelluskehittäjät yms.) tuottavat lisää tietoa käyttäessään palvelua Services are enriched with data from several sources Fintraffic traffic management services provide and consume data Data and platform services provide value for ecosystem Services for developers and data providers Data providers and developers provide data to be utilized by other parties in the ecosystem Data aggregation, cleansing and enrichment Services for companies Ecosystem Orchestration (Fintraffic) Ecosystem data platform (API) services
6. We offer a wide range of data and services Key domains: • Situational awareness on all traffic modes • Logistics • Public transport
7. Example: Traffic Situation 30.5.2023 6
8. Data can answer multiple questions Rail traffic • Is my train on schedule? • Where is my train right now? • Which train can take me from A to B at time C? • Which trains are the next to arrive and depart on station X? • Which types of cars is my train composed of? • What services do these cars provide? • Was my train on schedule two months ago? Road traffic • What are the road weather conditions like right now? How about 3 hours from now? • When was the road last plowed? • Where are the road maintenance vehicles right now and what are they doing? • Are there any incidents or roadworks affecting my planned route? • Is traffic flowing normally? • How is the traffic flowing now in comparison to yesterday / lasth month / last year. Maritime traffic • What vessels are in harbour X at this time? • Which vessels are arriving / departing next and when? • Where is the vessel right now? • What kind of vessel is that? • Are there any active warnings for marine traffic? • Are there any disturbances in marine traffic? • Are the aids of navigation working properly? 30.5.2023

10. Based on extensive amount of interviews and analysis, the building blocks for traffic data ecosystem comprise of collaboration, data & infrastructure and rulebook 30.5.2023 9 Collaboration • Shared vision and goals • Trust • Joint development & investments • Coordination Rulebook • Fair Data economy rules • Agreement templates • Conventions and standards Data & infrastructure • Technical infrastructure • Data • APIs • Shared services Source: Fintraffic stakeholder interviews, spring 2020
11. Traffic Data Ecosystem • We are developing the future of traffic, where one major goal is to create a Finnish network of traffic operators making the most effective use of data, a network unique in the world. • We have invited more than 160 leading mobility organizations (including operators, authorities, academia, service providers, cities, ports etc.) to create • innovative data-share and data-use solutions and a fair digital operating environment within an open data ecosystem. • competitive and scalable traffic and mobility services for both Finnish and international markets • Cost-efficient and scalable platforms and solutions that will enable safe, low-emission and user-oriented travel and transport chains that combine different modes of transport.
12. ROUTE PLANNING Functionalities for planning trips/journeys (multimodal or not) in connection with transport services and situational data and information BOOKING, SALES, ORDER AND DELIVERY Functions needed to purchase trips & services CUSTOMER TRIP AND DISPATCH DATA Statistical and up-to-date data from trips and dispatch actions PAYMENTS and TRANSACTIONS Functionalities for payments, transactions and clearing DIGITAL B2C and B2B SERVICES What customers see and experience TRANSPORT SERVICES PTA’s, TSP’s, Public transport, micromobility…. INFRASTRUCTURAL ASSETS Road, rail and water routers; Stops, stations, harbors, terminals and other relevant transport infrastructure points VALUE ADDING SERVICES POI’s, shared data, Insurances… SITUATIONAL DATA AND INFORMATION Real time concerning traffic and infrastructural conditions (road works, speed limits, maintenance status, traffic flows/jams) IDENTIFICATION AND AUTHORIZATION Functionalities for managing customer data (f.ex eligibilities) Transport service ecosystem requires a comprehensive set of capabilities Transport service ecosystem is based on physical and digital elements. Service development and operations require support from public players to enable digital business.
13. Traffic Data Rulebook accelerates fair data economy within mobility services • The rulebook aims to free up more data – with or without fee – with commonly agreed formats. • The rulebook is based on trust, sovereignity and voluntary approach. • The rulebook provides a many-to-many agreement framework and eases legal work required for data sharing. • The rulebook defines the rules for data sharing, provision of data driven services and collaboration governance. • The rulebook is based on Sitra’s Fair Data Economy Playbook: https://www.sitra.fi/en/publications/rulebook- for-a-fair-data-economy/ 30.5.2023 12 From…. ….to
14. Key Takeaways from Traffic Data Ecosystem • Ecosystem operator should be neutral party. Major business players can be biased or others feel they are biased • Co-operate! • Rulebook is good baseline where to start data sharing in ecosystem. • Identify the most valuable dataset. Create interoperability! • Find value for parties for why to join ecosystem. Create quick wins. 30.5.2023 Esittäjän ja esityksen nimi | Julkisuus 13
