ConnectBaltica - Intelligent Transport Systems and Transport Economics

At a glance

CONNECTBALTICA is a macro-regional initiative and academic forum for sea, road and rail transport in the Baltic Sea region. The involved partners from the academic, public and private sector cooperate to ease customer operations in intermodal maritime and land transport and to reduce operating costs for ferry, rail and road operators. Its intermodal approach to integrate Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) facilitates driver and passenger services such as automated ticketing, boarding and check-in, secure parking, as well as control and management of public and private parking facilities, payment and traffic management. CONNECTBALTICA thereby serves a total population of about 43 million spread over the seaboard regions of the ten Baltic Sea countries of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, and Sweden.
