Background & Purpose

EU updated its directive on intelligent transport systems in 2023 to include new data types and digital services. Sweden needs to update its national framework to align with these comprehensive European rules.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament decided to approve the government's proposal for legislative changes, enabling more advanced digital traffic and travel information services.

Does this affect you?

  • Road travelers: Access to improved information services regarding traffic flows, accidents, and weather conditions.
  • Transport companies: Possibility to develop new information services using updated digital data types.

In Practice

  • New digital data types and services become accessible via a national access point.
  • Road operators, companies, and travelers gain access to better traffic information.
  • Detailed regulations will be implemented primarily through administrative rules rather than heavy legislation.
