National Transport Management in Sweden

Today in Sweden, the National Traffic management System delivers an integrated service for the whole of the Swedish road network, managing at the local, regional and national levels. It provides a comprehensive decision support facility, bringing information from multiple systems together into a single platform and tool, automating many services, to enable operators to focus on critical decision making. It communicates with multiple systems and stakeholders, including highway operators and maintainers, public transport service providers, the emergency services, the media and third-party information system suppliers. This multi-layered and expert system has evolved over many years to become one of the World???s most advanced systems (winning the International Road Federation 2013 Global Award for ITS and Traffic Management) but how has it got where it is and where does it need to go from here?
