Tampere region ITS network, TRITS
TRITS (Tampere Region Intelligent transportation system) network was established in spring 2007 to work as an open and consensual local forum for the regions’ stakeholders, allowing them to discuss about the ITS needs and progress. TRITS is an open network for the regions private and public sector’s ITS actors, aiming at researching and developing ITS solutions, commercial products and services together. Special areas of interest are, for example, traffic management, public transportation and traffic safety.
TRITS-network works in an active co-operation with ITS Finland as the regional co-operations catalyst and making field trips. One of the major goals is to make Tampere region nationally and internationally significant ITS test-area, offering proper size traffic surroundings and potential partners to develop new ITS products and services.
