MASS TRANSIT IN HELSINKI. METROPOLITAN REGION INTO AN EDP REGISTER

The volume of information required in the daily management and planning of public transport in the Helsinki metropolitan region has become a problem. In an effort to solve it, a mass transit register based on automatic data processing was developed. On a normal weekday approximately 860000 passengers use the 1200 buses, 100 trams, 100 electric trains and 40 underground train pairs. The register contains data on the public transport network, lines, schedules, traffic licences and passenger volumes in Helsinki, Espoo, Kaumainen and Vantaa. The data register has room for 50 million data recordings.
