Summary The ‘NordicWay Coop’ pilot in Finland included the provision of road safety-related minimum universal traffic information services. It was evaluated during a one-year field test with the HERE DTI application in mobile devices used by ordinary road users. The purpose of the Coop project was to assess the technical feasibility of the system and the information it provides as part of a cooperative traffic information system and readiness for wide-scale implementation, as well as its commercial potential and ecosystem model. Another purpose was to gain knowledge on cooperative services as a channel for safety-related information, and their impacts on driver behaviour and traffic management. A socio-economic assessment completed the evaluation. The expected impact mechanism for the service was that when the driver receives a cooperative warning of a hazardous situation or condition ahead, (s)he is aware of it earlier than without the warning (before seeing or detecting the actual situation or condition) and is thus better prepared. This is manifested in increased alertness, less multitasking and a smoother approach. Additionally, the traffic management centre not only receives information on hazardous situations or conditions that would not otherwise be detected by their traditional incident detection systems/mechanisms or road weather models, they also get it sooner. This is believed to result in better informed road users (improved travel quality), fewer primary and secondary accidents, less time spent in congestion, a slight drop in emissions, and increased road network performance/efficiency. The results showed that the cooperative system for providing safety-related traffic information through a cellular network is a technically feasible concept. The latencies of the system were short enough (median latency 0.3 seconds for mobile-server-mobile communication) for a driver information system, and the system architecture ensured cross-border interoperability. The HERE DTI application used in the field test followed the requirements by Car Connectivity Consortium and ESoP (European Statement of Principles) guidelines for applications used while driving. The service of receiving warnings and being able to warn others about hazardous situations on the road was well accepted by road users. They felt that it provided information that other services did not, and that the information was more detailed or better targeted. The drivers also reported that information on hazardous locations ahead affected their driving behaviour; concomitant changes in speed were observed in GPS data analysis. The direct safety impact on target roads was greatest for warnings of slipperiness and animals & people on the road, followed by warnings of roadworks and exceptional weather. Warnings of obstacles on the road, accidents or poor visibility were assessed to be least effective due to the small number of ‘target accidents’. In addition, over- reliance on the system being able to warn of hazards was considered to cause a slight increase in speed, also affecting safety. The overall assessment of the safety impact of the service for 2019 was a 0.00–0.09% reduction in injury accidents and a 0.00– 0.08% drop in fatal accidents on motorways in Southern Finland. For 2030 the The sole responsibility of this publication lies with the author. The European Union is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein estimated impact was a 0.8–4.6% reduction in injury and non-injury accidents and a 0.6–4.0% drop in fatal accidents on all main roads.

    20th International Conference on Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT 20) Espoo, Finland, August 9-14, 2009 SMiRT 20-Division 6, Paper 1785 Probabilistic fracture mechanics: PTS Screening criteria for RTNDT, application of FAVOR code to a German KONVOI plant Ralf Tietea and Norbert Schlüterb aAREVA NP GmbH, Erlangen, Germany, e-mail: [email protected] bKernkraftwerke Lippe-Ems GmbH, Lingen, Germany Keywords: Probabilistic fracture mechanics, reactor pressure vessel, FAVOR, PTS Screening Criteria, RTNDT 1 ABSTRACT In Germany the structural integrity and safety of reactor components, like reactor pressure vessel (RPV) or pipes, is done by deterministic analyses. Deterministic approaches use conservative assumptions (crack geometry, external loadings, material properties, etc.) to maximize the safety margins. Reasons for such conservative assumptions can be missing information (aleatory uncertainties) or missing knowledge of certain mechanisms (epistemic uncertainties). A probabilistic analysis uses the same methods (e.g. calculation method for stress intensity factor, crack propagation) as a deterministic one, but addresses the uncertainty of required input data or mechanisms. Unlike a deterministic analysis, which criterion is the achievement of a critical or reference value (e.g. stress intensity factor reaches lower bound of fracture toughness), a probabilistic analysis gives a probability of flaw initiation or component failure. Therefore a probabilistic analysis of a reactor component gives an additional classification of the integrity (safety) of such a component under more realistic assumptions and helps quantifying governing parameters for the component failure, which can be useful for lifetime extension. An example of such a probabilistic safety analysis is the FAVOR (Fracture Analysis of Vessels, Oak Ridge) computer program, which was developed in the US by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and is applicable to the core region of a RPV.

    HELSINKI CITY PLAN The city plan draft Urban Plan Helsinki city plan draft Helsinki plans 2015:1 City of Helsinki City Planning Department Urban Plan – Helsinki city plan draft – Helsinki plans 2015:1 2 Contents of the city plan draft in a nutshell A new City Plan for Helsinki is being prepared. The aim is to have the proposed plan submitted to Helsinki City Council for discussion in 2016. The draft of the plan was completed at the end of 2014. This brochure outlines the contents of the draft. The plan is more strategic than previous plans. With this city plan, Helsinki is preparing for a significant population growth. The new city plan is based on an estimate which predicts there will be 860,000 inhabitants and 560,000 jobs in Helsinki in 2050. In order to cope with more people the city has to have a more urban, denser city structure. Densification of the urban structure supports the development of an ecologically efficient urban structure. City plan key themes: 1. Densifying city centre The city plan will allow a denser urban structure as well as new investments in the city centre. New business premises can be implemented below the street level in courtyards. 2. The Inner City extends northwards and will create more jobs The city centre will be extended towards Central Pasila, some 3 kilometres to the north of the downtown. A new economic axis along the Pasila–Vallila–Kalasatama areas will become a significant business centre. 3. New housing development in central Helsinki According to the city plan draft, there is a building potential for about 45,000 new inhabitants in central Helsinki.

  • Study on Road Pricing Summary, 14 March 2016
    Study on Road Pricing Summary, 14 March 2016 1 Summary The Helsinki Region Transport System Plan (HLJ) is a quadrennial strategic transport system plan covering 14 municipalities. The HLJ 2015 plan approved in spring 2015 takes an overall view on the transport system and aims to ensure the flow of traffic also in the future. The studies on road pricing were conducted as part of a follow-up to HLJ 2015. This summary report presents the results of the technical-functional and administrative- legislative sub-studies. The reports of the sub-studies are available at www.hsl.fi/tiemaksut (in Finnish). One of the key policies of the HLJ 2015 strategy is effective utilization of information and policy tools. During the HLJ process road pricing was identified as one of the key economic policy tools. In addition, road pricing acts as a source of funding for the region’s transport system. The introduction of pricing must not decrease State or municipal funding in the region and the revenue generated must be returned into the region’s transport system. The technical-functional sub-study shows that road pricing can positively affect traffic and the urban structure helping to achieve the goals set out in the region. The level and amount of the impacts partly depend on the established profit target as well as on the pricing model studied. More extensive impact assessments suggest that road charges improve the performance of the vehicular traffic network, decrease adverse environmental impacts and increase the modal share of sustainable modes of transport. On the basis of the administrative study it can be said that area-based road charges could be implemented based on the current administrative model.

  • Aktuelt Från Finland
    17.8.2009 / Mauri Pukkila Aktuellt från Finland 17.8.2009 / Mauri Pukkila 2 Allmänt om trafiken Som följd av lågkonjunkturen har växtfarten av trafiken sjunkit. Tung trafik har gått ner 17% och personbiltrafik 2%. Dödsolyckor i trafiken har gått ner 4% i Finland i jämförhet med förra året. I Sverige gick dödsolyckor ner med en fjärdedel under början av året och i Norge med hela 30% Trafiksäkerheten har blivit bättre under början av året. Åndå har fler kört av vägen. Dessa beror oftast av ansvarslöst körsätt och oförnuftig hastighet. Frontalkrockar har minskat. Ungdomarnas del av personskador i trafiken har gått upp. Sommaren har ändrat situationen till sämre riktning. 17.8.2009 / Mauri Pukkila 3 Studie om trängselavgifter i Helsingforsregionen Målet med utredningen är icke att föreslå ett införande av trängselavgigter. Centrala slutsatser av utredningen om trängselavgifter: • Trängselavgifterna verkställer effektivt trafikpolitiska mål. • Den samhällsekonomiska nyttan med trängselavgifterna är större än kostnaderna. • Som trafikpolitisk åtgärd är trängselavgiften ett effektivare sätt att nå trafikpolitiska mål på Helsingforsregionen än de andra metoder som för närvarande används (t.ex. väginvesteringar, förbättrad kollektivtrafik). • Trängselavgifter måste ändå få stöd av andra åtgärder, t.ex. av ökad kollektivtrafik. 17.8.2009 / Mauri Pukkila 4 Finansministeriets budjetförslag 2010; 49.9 mrd. € Anskaffningar av och Farledshållning 62 M€ ersättningar för jord- Efterfinansierings-, totalfinansierings- och och vattenområden livcykelsfinansieringsprojekt 57,5 M€ 29,87 M€ Basban- Sjöfartsverket hållningen 35,77 M€ 316,82 M€ Planering av Vägför- Västmetron Trafiknätet valtning 6,75 M€ 1,53 mrd. € 83 M€ Kommuni- För- kations- Vissa trafik- valtning ministeriet ledsprojekt 348,76 total 354,7 M€ M€ 2,16 mrd.
