The SmashHit (Smart Dispatcher for Secure and Controlled Sharing of Distributed Personal and Industrial Data) project addresses secure and trusted sharing of vehicle data.

Relevant aspects developed and tested in Helsinki include MyData and piloting cases such as using data to address blind spots behind corners in the Jätkäsaari area.

Ubiwhere and traffic measurements

Ubiwhere
Testing traffic data measurements and producing open data from relevant intersections in the area.
Matias Oikari (Forum Virium Helsinki)

API documentation

https://urbsense.urbanplatform.city/api/public/docs/
Open data is being produced by the Portuguese Ubiwhere with different technologies in two locations in the West Harbour area. The data is produced in The Crusell bridge and Mechelininkatu-Pohjoinen Rautatienkatu intersection. During the spring of 2021 open data will be produced in two additional locations in Selkämerenkatu and Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu. In addition to traffic data, the Crusell bridge and Mechelininkatu sites also include an air quality stations.

The API documentation for the open data can be found here: https://urbsense.urbanplatform.city/api/public/docs/.

Bike path condition measurement

TerrainSense
Goal: Testing the use of bike-mounted sensors for bike path condition measurement
Contact: Janne Rinne (Forum Virium Helsinki)

Finished Q2/2021 Measuring the condition of bike paths with sensors installed in bicycles to monitor issues and maintenance levels.

This project is one of the selected agile pilots. The solution will be tested in the spring of 2021 as the first phase of the agile pilot process.

Dangerous driving behaviour at pedestrian crossing

Near miss detection at pedestrian crossings

Kradient Intelligence
Goal: Testing the detection of dangerous driving behaviour at pedestrian crossings
Contact: Janne Rinne (Forum Virium Helsinki)

Finished Q2/2021 Detection of near miss events at pedestrian crossings by using machine vision.

This project is one of the selected agile pilots. The solution will be tested in the spring of 2021 as the first phase of the agile pilot process.

Lidar

Traffic monitoring with LIDAR and edge computing

Nodeon
Goal: Testing the feasibility of LIDAR technology for traffic monitoring
Contact: Janne Rinne (Forum Virium Helsinki)

Testing the use of LIDAR technology and edge computing in traffic monitoring for the purposes of traffic management, planning and counting.

This project is one of the selected agile pilots. The solution was tested in the spring of 2021 as the first phase of the agile pilot process. In the fall of 2021, a second phase of the pilot was done, extending the pilot to also include the testing of C-ITS messages based on the detections.

Map of Jätkäsaari with information points for last 50 meter routing

Last-meter routing for delivery logistics

Tietorahti Oy
Making urban delivery logistics smoother by detailed entrance data and last-meter routing tool.
Schedule Q4/2020 - Q1/2021
Janne Rinne (Forum Virium Helsinki)

More info about the pilot (In Finnish)

https://forumvirium.fi/tietorahti-pilotti-helsinki/
Finished Q1/2021 The Tietorahti mobile map provides detailed location and information about the entrances of buildings in the city center of Helsinki. The map also includes official loading sites for logistics as well as no-parking zones that are used for logistics. Once parked, the driver can switch from the mobile map to the routing tool Gatesolve which gives the shortest route to the right entrance by foot.

Professional drivers from logistics companies take part in the agile pilot by giving feedback about the feasibility and further development needs of the solution. They also validate and complement the data on loading sites.
