Abstract:
Unified vision of Helsinki Metropolitan Area Council (YTV) aims systematically develop ITS services and associated networking technologies to follow the very latest global ITS trends. In this study, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) telecommunication technology, service and economical scenarios for YTV area are inspected up to 2014. Our goal set by YTV is to research and validate YTV suggested ITS services and to investigate viable telecommunication networking alternatives in an evolution timeline. At the moment, most ITS services of YTV do not require broadband connection or real- time operation, as traffic light priority and RFID-based ticking. On the other hand, there are timely broadband networking needs as supplying Internet connection to passengers. Generally, ITS service data rates are increasing and real-time operation is getting important as indicated by efforts of car manufactures to develop WLAN solutions. Also, integrated real-time ITS operation and management systems require high data rates. Generally, Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of ITS services form a base in our evaluation. Our results, compressed to technology-service scenarios, indicate that YTV has the following paths for successful ITS development: (1) They can buy the networking services/technologies from a telecommunication operator, (2) They can build own network or (3) They can realize a hybrid solution. Our results in telecommunication networking alternatives are compressed into investment sensitivity estimations that can be used to support decision making.
