Talking points
Gathering know-how on autonomous driving
Autonomous mobility pilots are running in Tampere City Region. Autonomous minibuses have entered the cityscape to help solve the challenges of city transport. Also the test area for automatic driving, where autonomous vehicles can drive in real traffic, operates in Tampere. These development pilots aim to create real services and autonomous vehicle functions for the end-users. Learn more about Tampere Testbed Hervanta for autonomous driving.
CityIoT2 project
City IoT2 project will develop scalable, coherent, well-documented practices and solutions for data management and IoT-solutions for cities both nationally and internationally. The pilots include eg. traffic and parking space usage rate data analyses utilising machine vision and image recognition technologies.
Boosting the electric transportation
The number of electric vehicles is growing world wide and Finland is one of the leading countries what comes to the number of electric buses. Furthermore, there’s vast expertise on development of payment and identification systems of the vehicle charging devices in Finland. To gather user experiences for future development, the first electric buses have been introduced in the Tampere city region. Read more.
Open data - a real-time snapshot to transport
When does the bus arrive at the bus stop? How do I avoid the scene of an accident?
Open data enables end-user access to status and condition information of the transport network on the spot. For developers and companies it provides new business opportunities. Read more.
Indoor positioning in the urban city environment
The indoor positioning can support various services in the future, it may for example enable the automatic parking of vehicles or provide a seamless service route from a parking garage or railway station to the visitor’s seat in a concert hall.
Digital indoor maps can be used to navigate easily within the urban environment in places with large streams of people, such as parking garages, shopping centers, sport venues, or railway stations. Tampere is seeking new business and innovative consumer products by combinining outdoor and indoor positioning.
