The Danish Road Directorate has selected technology, data and design company Solita A/S as a strategic partner for the modernisation of its traffic data systems. Under a new framework agreement, Solita has secured its largest delivery to date in Denmark, covering the development, support and long-term maintenance of the Traffic Database of the Future, a strategic flagship project to ensure modern and reliable traffic data and statistics services for the future.
In 2027, the Danish Road Directorate will transition to a new IT system called the Traffic Database of the Future designed for the processing and storage of traffic data. The new system will future-proof the Road Directorate’s and the municipalities’ ability to process data flexibly while ensuring high data quality. Following a competitive tender process, Solita was selected based on its ability to deliver user-centred IT infrastructure with enhanced possibilities for data processing and high quality.
“We are proud to have been selected for this strategically important and technologically ambitious assignment. The Traffic Database of the Future represents a clear shift away from traditional systems towards a modern, data-driven platform that enables higher data quality, increased automation and far more flexible use of traffic data. We look forward to starting the work and to collaborating closely with the Danish Road Directorate and their experts,” said Lise Bach Vestergaard, Senior Vice President, Sales, Solita A/S.
Known domain, new technological platform
Solita brings deep domain expertise into the project through its long-standing responsibility for the development and maintenance of the Danish Road Directorate’s current traffic data system, MASTRA, which will later be replaced by the Traffic Database of the Future.
“The Traffic Database of the Future fundamentally rethinks how traffic data is processed and utilised. The new solution will be built on a modern, cloud-based technology platform and has been designed with the user at is centre, delivering a more intuitive and efficient user experience. At the same time, operating costs have been kept as low as possible by, for example, keeping data processing in Azure and avoiding unnecessary data transfers, without compromising functionality”, explains Lise Bach Vestergaard.
At the Danish Road Directorate, the Traffic Database of the Future is regarded as a central element in the long-term digital development.
“The Traffic Database of the Future is a strategic and forward-looking project for us. It will provide a more robust and future-proof foundation for traffic data, enabling broader utilisation The new solution will help our vision of improved data sharing and more value-creating use of traffic data across authorities, municipalities and the private sector. We look forward to working with Solita, who has demonstrated both a strong understanding of our needs and technological insight,” says Kasper Rosenstand, Head of Department at the Danish Road Directorate.
