Big Data project offer for HSL
1. Goal: attracting more customers
and improving the user experience of the existing ones
2. I am not using public transport because my daily
route requires 2 connections
The bus can arrive either before or later and I have no
information about it
Buses are so crowded that I can’t fit into it and have
to wait for another one
3. Bad routes
Not on time
People avoid using public transport
in case it is inconvenient:
5. Current routes improvement
Decisions are based on customers’
opinions:
Before starting the route network planning,
HSL collected input data. For example, HSL
conducted a map-based travel survey to
study residents’ travel patterns.
A blog was opened …, where people have
been able to follow the planning process
and comment on it.
6. What if all customers’ travelling
patterns were captured automatically?
What if decisions were based on how
customers act, not what they say?

information before and
during their journeys
Fewer emissions: We
increase the share of low-
emission public transport
Effective finances: We
make public transport
more cost-effective
15. The time is now!
Hardware sensors are
being installed to buses
Hardware + software
enablers
Various big data is already
available, more to come
Big data
This gap is not filled yet
HSL has its own services
(like Reittiopas) – great base
to build on top of it
