Safety is always a top priority in tunnels, and the safety equipment placed in tunnels plays a key role in ensuring a safe flow of traffic. Fintraffic takes care of the safety and flow of traffic in tunnels around the clock, on every day of the year.

Once again, drones return to the spring skies of Finland. Operating a drone is a form of aviation and therefore, operators must be aware of the relevant rules and restrictions. Fintraffic instructions and common rules are there to help you operate drones safely.

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.

Fintraffic has joined the Data Spaces Alliance Finland –network as one of the founding members. Data spaces create opportunities for companies to accelerate growth and innovation, secure access to critical resources and enable the sale and sharing of data between multiple actors. Data space technologies are also important enablers for the development of artificial intelligence solutions.

Fintraffic’s journey as a company that combines different modes of transport began almost five years ago. With our skilled personnel and partners, we have achieved a lot: We have improved traffic safety and reduced traffic disruptions, by means such as our determined efforts to develop the traffic control services and make more comprehensive use of traffic-related data and situational picture.

In today’s data-driven world, enterprises are increasingly looking for ways to leverage and monetize their data. Data ecosystems, where data is shared and exchanged between different stakeholders, can provide a powerful way to create value from enterprise data.

Fintraffic celebrated its five-year anniversary in January. Over the past five years, Fintraffic has developed several different areas in cooperation with all modes of transport. One such area is the development of digital services.

The traffic data ecosystem is known both in Finland and at the EU level for its ambitious work to promote the digitalisation of traffic. In 2023, significant steps were taken in work on the ecosystem and the development of Fintraffic's digital services, progressing from conceptualisation to actual implementation. The company's digital services collected a total of approximately one million visits during the year.

For years traffic and transportation technology has been transforming the society. With the rapid pace of innovation comes new trends and exciting technologies that will take traffic and transportation into the future. Fintraffic's view about future traffic is seen in our Traffic 2030 Vision, in our goal to create the world’s safest and smoothest and lowest emissions traffic in Finland together with our partners. This blog post lists my personal view on TOP 10+1 technology trends that will shape the year 2024 of traffic and transportation.
