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

A new working method concept will be validated for Luxembourg’s air traffic control in Fintraffic’s air navigation simulators. The aim will be to obtain data on new working methods on the basis of which their practical functionality and prerequisites for operational deployment can be verified.

The alternative route for Vuosaari road tunnel on the section Itäväylä–Kallvikintie–Niinisaarentie–Vuosaari Harbour will be improved during late 2024 and spring 2025. Roadworks on the alternative route begin on Monday, 14 October 2024.  By improving the route, we are preparing for the extensive renovation of the Vuosaari tunnel’s technical features, which begins next year and will last for nearly one year, during which time the alternative route of the tunnel will serve as a detour.

On 20 September, the ITS World Congress, a major event for intelligent transportation systems, presented an award to Fintraffic’s Road Traffic Management for the best technical publication of 2024. The award-winning publication highlights the importance of a data-driven and ecosystemic approach to improving traffic safety and flow. The publication presents the use cases implemented by Fintraffic. Fintraffic is very visible at the world's leading ITS event, as the company's experts give as many as seven expert speeches on different themes at the event. 

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?

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.

The schedule and method of implementation for the renewal of technical systems in the Vuosaari road tunnel have been established: work in the tunnel will begin with the dismantling of old systems in spring 2025.
