Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): This Master's thesis has been written partly on my own initiative, partly thanks to a scholarship granted by the Nordic Road Association.
This work is a research on how the large national road databases in the Nordic countries have been defined and implemented.
Information about the traffic routes in different countries is becoming more and more important, when the mobility grows and the driving routes must be maximally optimized, for example in respect to time, economy, environment and safety.
The Nordic countries concerned here are Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

The national road databases in the Nordic countries are presented and analyzed from a technical point of view.
The routines of the systems are also touched, even if they aren't in focus.
The most integral matters for a road database are the road definition, the coordinate system, the data model, the linear reference system, the properties of the geometry and the topology and also the features that can be given to the roads.
The issues presented vary to some extent from one database to another, according to what has been defined with reference to the road database in question and what generally can he considered as relevant.

In this thesis, the main aspects found considering the Nordic road databases will be summarized.
Above all, it's a matter of those similarities and differences that most likely will have a great impact on the future internationalizing process.
This process contains a suitable Nordic standard for road data.
Here, a first step in this development towards a road database standard is taken by recommending proper common outlines for the future.
The suggestions how the Nordic countries could approach each other are technical.
No comments are given on which organisation should carry out the harmonizing process or where economical resources could be found.

The Nordic road databases are essentially different with respect to purpose of use.
Some are implemented for traffic telematics, which means mobility using as much existing information potential as possible to find the most favourable driving routes.
Others are intended for a much wider use in road and traffic issues.
The main focus in this report is mobility.
Road data is here analyzed depending on to which extent navigational purposes can benefit it, although its original purposes might be others.
