Digirail is in the process of collaboration with Finnish telecom operators to design a common disturbance map view that enables efficient train traffic.

The Destia Winter Maintenance Management Centre utilises the road weather information provided by Fintraffic on a daily basis, all year round. Fintraffic road weather data makes it possible to carry out maintenance measures in the road network in a timely manner. This helps to save costs.

There are hundreds of electronically operating variable speed limit signs posted along the main roads in Finland. Do you know how their technology works and from where speed limits are controlled?

The DigiMar project, focused on enhancing navigational safety through innovative learning tools, is on track with its planned schedule. This July, the project celebrated a significant milestone with its first international meeting, where the project's progress was discussed.

One of Fintraffic’s basic tasks in rail traffic management is to ensure safe and smooth rail traffic on Finnish railways. The almost three-year-old Situation Coordinator service plays an important role in succeeding in this task. The service allows the railway network to deal with disruptions more quickly, safely and efficiently, as all essential information is transmitted from one party to another in a transparent manner. Since the beginning of 2024, the service has been produced under the partnership agreement between the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and Fintraffic Railway. What does the change mean in practice?

Twenty new rail traffic controllers graduated at Fintraffic this summer. Each of them has undergone a training period of about six months, including an induction period, a theoretical learning period, a simulation phase and a job orientation phase.

From 3 July 2024, the Data for Road Safety ecosystem will provide drivers with more comprehensive situational information on Finnish roads: vehicle manufacturers and other parties belonging to the Data for Road Safety ecosystem will be able to share Fintraffic's traffic announcements in their own navigation systems via POST Luxembourg.

Large public events and festivals affect summer-time traffic every year, as tens of thousands of people travel around Finland. Up-to-date traffic information, smart planning and a safe driving style help drivers avoid congestion during summer holidays and get everyone safely to their destinations.

Safe Midsummer driving involves careful route planning, unhurried travel and, above all, a rested and alert driver.

Fintraffic's Port Activity application helps maritime logistics actors and ports to develop their operations in a more efficient direction through real-time vessel and port information.

The Traffic Data Service Cluster, led by Fintraffic, was officially launched at the end of May. It includes several of Finland's top experts in the realm of traffic data services, who believe that in current times, collaboration brings better results when exporting internationally. Several doors have already been opened in Europe, but also in Asia, the Middle-East and in the United States, particularly with regards to participating in rail traffic and port digitalisation projects as well as smart road projects. Experience gained in the spring confirms that there is a demand for Finnish traffic data experts.

How to achieve the maximum social benefit from Digirail, and what types of actions or decisions are required? Among other things, these questions will be addressed and resolved by the new Digirail development and monitoring group.
