The Finnish National Road Administration (Finnra) found it necessary, in order to coordinate the actions and integrate them with Finnra's other actions, to formulate a strategy for transport telematics. This was accomplished as a top-down approach starting from Finnra's mission and objectives, on the basis of which the authors determined the most potential and effective transport telematics systems and services as well as the telematics infrastructure with 2010 as the goal year. An expert survey was undertaken to identify the most feasible telematics systems in 2010. The operational strategy was formulated by using a problem- as well as user-oriented approach, and a basic set of operational guidelines was agreed upon. An action programme for Finnra's transport telematics based on the strategy is described. (A)
