KoKoLiike develops a knowledge base to improve Kotka’s transport system – supported by Nodeon Asgard

Smart City Smart Mobility Traffic flow measurement

Good transport solutions start with understanding the current state. Nodeon is collaborating with South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk) and the City of Kotka to make the Kotka urban area’s transport system safer and more sustainable.

The KoKoLiike project, co-funded by Xamk and the European Union, set out to build a data foundation for Kotka’s transport system and expand sustainable mobility options. The project made extensive use of Nodeon’s traffic measurement services and the Asgard platform.

A key part of the project was a year-long monitoring of total traffic volumes in the Kotkansaari area. Nodeon’s Asgard Analysis system combined local traffic monitoring, traffic signal data, and LAM measurement point data into a real-time picture of traffic conditions.

Nodeon’s Asgard Analysis system provides versatile analytics for traffic and urban planning.

“Invaluable R&D partner””

“Nodeon proved to be an invaluable R&D partner. The collaboration produced a strong data foundation for transport development in Kotka and the Kymenlaakso region, promoting sustainable mobility and proactive urban planning. The solution also supports digital tools as part of a smart, low-emission transport system,” says Aaro Tarvainen, KoKoLiike project manager at South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences.

“Working with Nodeon showed that modern traffic data and analytics deliver real value for both the public sector and regional development. The collaboration has been first-rate and flexible — and Nodeon’s experts have always been easy to approach and genuinely welcoming,” Tarvainen concludes.
