Key Evaluation Results This section should present a brief summary of the key results related to the EasyWay objectives and any other key results. 1.1. Impact on Traffic Flow The renewal and improvement of road weather information is estimated to have only negligible effects on congestion costs. However, it will make travellers and hauliers better informed and thereby enhance their travels and transports considerably. The measure also enhances the effectiveness of winter maintenance, which will improve the accessibility and efficiency of road transport especially in adverse road weather conditions. The Road ITS Action Plan is assessed to make a substantial contribution to efficiency by reducing congestion costs by 20% on the main road network. Largest parts of these effects result from projects in the incident management and ICT infrastructure domains. 1.2. Impact on Safety The renewal of the road weather information systems and the enhancement of related information services will reduce injury accidents annually by ca 13, which means a reduction in the number of fatalities and injuries on the Finnish main road network by ca. 1%. The reduction of fatalities and injuries in adverse road weather conditions due to the measure is estimated as ca. 4%. The whole Finnish Road ITS Action Plan is estimated to reduce injury accidents annually in the 2010 situation by more than 220. This means a reduction of ca 7% in the number of fatalities and injuries on the road network operated by the Finnish Transport Agency. The biggest gains in safety are resulting from the traffic management and control, enforcement and ICT infrastructure projects. 1.3. Impact on Environment The renewal and improvement of road weather information is estimated to have only negligible impacts on CO2 emissions. The Finnish Road ITS Action Plan is estimated to reduced the national road traffic related CO2 emissions by ca. 4%. The biggest impacts result from ICT infrastructure and traffic information projects. 1.4. Other Key Results The evaluation also compared the benefits in terms of saved accident, congestion and CO2 costs to the project costs. For both renewal of the RWIS information and the total Finnish Road ITS Action Plan, the annual safety, congestions and CO2 benefits for two years were higher than the project costs for the six-year period. Hence, the renewal of road weather information as well as the whole Road ITS Action Plan are economically very profitable . 28/07/2011 - 6 - RWIS Renewal/Finnish Road ITS Action Plan Evaluation 2. Description of the Problem 2.1. Site The road ITS Action Plan as well as the renewal of the road weather information system and related services cover the whole of Finland, i.e. the Finnish EasyWay network as well as the other parts of the road transport system. The project and the Action Plan focus on the EasyWay network, however. The network was divided into the following parts in order to identify the user requirements and transport-related problems: 1. Major metropolitan areas 2. Other metropolitan and urban areas 3. Key main road connections 4. Other main road sections 5. Basic network in rural areas 6. Special sites In total, 53 400 million vehicle kilometres are being travelled on the Finnish road network, and of these ca. 25 000 million on main roads and major roads (1, 3 and 4). The Finnish Road ITS Plan was agreed upon in 2009, and its evaluation (including the evaluation of the projects within it) was carried out by VTT as an independent evaluation project in 2010. All is 2 reported in Kulmala & Schirokoff 2010 , and this report is based on translation of this report. 2.2. Issues Addressed The main user needs and requirements were identified to be the following: Main roads, metropolitan and urban areas and special sites • the performance and safety of travel and transport chains between regions and inside urban areas: providers of goods transport and passenger traffic services, foreign trade, commuter traffic Basic network in rural areas • the basic safety and transport needs of the forest industry’s timber acquisition Basic network in rural areas and urban areas • the basic transport and safety needs of school children Main transport problems identified for each operating environment, and thereby the effects shown in Table 1 were to be sought by the ITS Action Plan for the different parts of the road transport system. 2 Risto Kulmala, Anna Schirokoff: Tieliikenteen hallinta 2015 (Road traffic management 2015).

In addition, the following effects were sought for in all parts of the road transport system: Road users get on all sections of the road network o information about the allowed speed o guidance to different locations o warnings of local problems Curbing climate change Constraining traffic demand Minimising traffic congestion caused by traffic accidents and disruptions On the basis of the user requirements, problems identified and the effects sought for, the Finnish Road Administration developed the Road ITS Action Plan, with the help of its regional offices. 28/07/2011 - 8 - RWIS Renewal/Finnish Road ITS Action Plan Evaluation 3. Description of the ITS Project 3.1. Service Area The actual project is directly linked to the EasyWay Service areas of ICT infrastructure, but it is indirectly linked also to Traveller Information Services, Traffic Management Services, and Freight and Logistics Services by providing the prerequisites for these services. The road ITS Action Plan also assessed at the same time contained all service areas, although the Freight and Logistics Services only indirectly. 3.2. Key Words ICT infrastructure, data management and exchange, traveller information services, traffic management services 3.3. Objectives In line with the EasyWay objectives, the project and the Finnish road ITS Action Plan aimed towards Improved road safety in terms of less fatalities and injuries Decreased congestion and congestion costs Reduction in CO2 emissions 3.4. Systems and Technologies Applied The renewal of road weather information systems consists of collection and storing of information including user interface and reporting, new road section weather service, improved road weather monitoring (new and upgraded stations, cameras, mobile monitoring) as well as the renewal of the quality information system All actitivies in the action plan are reported below, and the sub-projects related to the renewal of raod weather information systems and the related services are marked in bold under ICT infrastructures: 28/07/2011

    The Utilization of Leftover Stones from Mines and Quarries in North Savo Region Liudmila Alexandrova Bachelor’s Thesis ___. ___. ______ ________________________________ Bachelor’s degree (UAS) SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES THESIS Abstract Field of Study Technology, Communication and Transport Degree Programme Degree Programme in Industrial Management Author(s) Liudmila Alexandrova Title of Thesis The Utilization of Leftover Stones from Mines and Quarries in North Savo Region Date 28.05.2014 Pages/Appendices 38/1 Supervisor(s) Jarmo Pyysalo, Principal Lecturer Client Organisation/Partners Geological Survey of Finland Abstract Geological Survey of Finland has offered a free access to the data gathered during the “Kaikki käyttöön” Project, which has become the base for the study on the logistics of mines and quarries operating in North Savo region, Finland. The Final Thesis is based on both the data gathered by the “Kaikki käyttöön” Project and research literature. Currently quarrying operations in North Savo region result in production of a large quantity of leftover stone mate- rial, which is staying unused and piled on the site. Leftover stone material generated during mining varies greatly, from dust and sand-sized particles to large boulders. It can be a substitute for primary aggregates, which are used in construction process in very large quantities. Aggregates produced from leftover stone mate- rial are highly suitable for road construction and concrete production. The aim of the “Kaikki käyttöön” Project is to study the possibility of recycling and re-using leftover stone material from mines and quarries, benefits and disadvantages of it, whether it could be implemented cost-efficiently in North Savo region of Finland, with the prospect of applying in other regions.
