TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTRES OF FINNRA - FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND DEFINITIONS

LIIKENNEKESKUSTEN TOIMINNALLINEN ANALYYSI

The Finnish National Road Administration (Finnra) Traffic Centre network consists of eight regional Traffic Centres and the National Traffic Information Centre (NTIC). The NTIC operates jointly with the regional Traffic Centre of Uusimaa in Helsinki. Finnra aims to integrate the functions, procedures and information systems of the Traffic Centres so that they can operate as a network, replacing one another when needed (during rush hours, at night times etc). The network operates 24 hours a day. The objective of the functional analysis was to define main functions of the Traffic Centres. The operation of Traffic Centre is divided into 7 main functions and a number of secondary support functions. Main functions are applied in every Traffic Centre, even though their emphasis, extent and selection of included services may vary regionally. The variation is based on differences in the road network services, traffic flow, user needs and forms of regional co-operation.
