Up to date information collected on international expectations, developments and best practices, serves as a base for analysis, conclusions and recommendations for their deployment in Finland.

The study also answers critical questions by MINTC on how to build future mobility in Finland and the impacts of the convergence of transport happening in Finland, and worldwide. HERMES also analyses how the ITS Innovations will support businesses and competition in Finland.
