The police and Fintraffic work closely together to ensure smooth and safe traffic, especially in exceptional situations.

Commuter train traffic in Finland grew strongly in Q4/2024. This growth can be attributed to the completion of the Tikkurila railyard and the new route on the Karjaa–Hanko line.

It is the task of air traffic control to anticipate the effects of winter weather conditions and runway closures on the ground and in the air. If necessary, air traffic is controlled to provide realistic runway time for each arriving and departing flight.

Luxembourg Air Navigation Administration, which is responsible for air navigation services in Luxembourg, has simulated new air traffic control working methods in Finland.

Digirail and Mipro Oy have signed an agreement to supply external controllers to Digirail’s first commercial track section (the so-called EKA track section), on the Lielahti-Rauma/Pori line.

Freight traffic volumes continued to grow in July-September, especially in rail traffic.

Electric scooters can now be found in the opas.matka.fi journey planner. In the early stages, users can search for scooters on routes in the HSL area for those operators that have provided scooter location and reservation information for journey planners. As safety is top priority for Fintraffic, we would like to remind you of the importance of observing traffic rules. When renting an electric scooter, always make an effort to ensure your own safety and that of your fellow travellers with responsible traffic behaviour.

Europe has one of the safest railway networks in the world – major accidents are rare and significant accidents have decreased over the last two decades. The European Union Agency for Railways has published its 2024 report on railway safety and interoperability on the EU level. Figures shown in the report also demonstrate the safety of Finland’s railways, which is top tier on the European level.

The new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) of the European Union, which entered into force last September, sets increasingly stringent requirements for corporate sustainability reporting. This is also reflected in Fintraffic’s operations, where collection of data in accordance with the new requirements will commence in 2025. The first CSRD-compliant report is due to be published the following year.

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.

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.

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.

The current system protecting the passage of trains is nearing the end of its life cycle, and the plan in the Digirail project is to renew the system on the entire Finnish railway network. Fintraffic Railway Ltd. and Siemens Mobility have signed contract on supplying a Centralised Safety System on Digirail’s first commercial track section on the Lielahti-Rauma/Pori track line. Thanks to the agreement, Digirail will now be moving towards concreteness.
