Towards digital and intelligent rail transport
Why Digirail?
The railways of the future need a modern and cost-efficient solution for securing the competitiveness of railway traffic.
Increasing environmentally friendly railway traffic
Increased capacity and cost-efficiency
Improved safety and reliability
New opportunities for developing services
What is the object of the survey?
The Digirail project has three starting points. Decisions on implementation will be made separately according to the results of the survey.
The possibilities of digitalisation as a cost-efficient solution
Connection with the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS)
Replacing the current automatic train protection system
Taking the journey together
In addition to these actors, many other organisations, experts and partners that provide supporting functions are involved in the planning of Digirail.

Valtioneuvosto on hyväksynyt #liikenne12-suunnitelman. Suunnitelma tehtiin ensimmäistä kertaa ja 12 vuodeksi. Tavoitteena on, että liikennejärjestelmä takaa koko Suomen saavutettavuuden ja vastaa elinkeinojen, työssäkäynnin ja asumisen tarpeisiin.

Kuuluuko? Tänään keskusteltiin viestintäyhteyksistä matkustajajunissa. Valtio ja yritykset sopivat, että vuonna 2021 laaditaan yhteinen suunnitelma viestintäyhteyksien kehittämiseksi. 👨💻🚃🌿
