Destia

Leading provider of road telematics and its maintenance in Finland

We are the biggest service company in the infrastructure sector in Finland and part of the global Colas Group. We design, build and maintain infrastructure that is essential for the functioning of society, such as electricity networks, bridges, roads and railways. We also offer solutions to the needs of electric and smart transport, such as electric charging services and telematics solutions.

Our telematics offering includes, for example, variable speed, warning and information signs, road weather stations and traffic monitoring cameras. In 2021, Destia maintained approximately 300 traffic light intersections in the Northern Ostrobothnia, Kainuu and Vaasa regions. We also develop and maintain traffic counters.

We use artificial intelligence to monitor the condition of roads and traffic safety in real time. Our services help identify even minor road damage and changes that need to be addressed. We have developed a damage detection system that detects, assesses and, using image interpretation, marks road surface damage as well as damage on gravel roads caused by seasonal weather conditions.

We have also developed iLiitu service, which is Finland’s best-known online traffic safety tool. It is a versatile accident analysis tool that is used to process and compile accident data across Finland.
