Liikenne- ja viestintäviraston, Väyläviraston ja Ruotsin merenkulkuviranomaisten (Sjöfartsverket ja Transportstyrelsen) yhteistyö talvimerenkulun turvallisuuden tutkimuksessa on jatkunut 1970-luvulta lähtien edellä mainittuja merenkulun organisaatioita vastaavien organisaatioiden kesken (aiemmin Suomessa Merenkulkulaitos).
The NEXT-ITS 2 project contains a number of measures deployed on the NEXT-ITS 2 corridor and in traffic management centres in order to move from local traffic management towards coordinated and cross-border management of the whole corridor. The objective has primarily been to evaluate the costs and impacts of the services deployed i.e. how the measures contribute to reduction in travel time, accidents and emissions from road transport.
The evaluation performed for NEXT-ITS2 corridor has covered the services deployed or enhanced by the Nordic road authorities during the period 2015-2017. The objective has been to evaluate the costs and impacts of the deployments. The impacts of the NEXT-ITS2 measures cover a quite large road network, about 25 000 km. The evaluation was carried out as an ex-ante evaluation.
