RAID-e digitalisation project improves the generation, maintenance, and distribution of up-to-date traffic, movement, and general information on railway lines

The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency is responsible for Finland’s roads, railways, and waterways, as well as the comprehensive development and maintenance of the transport network as a whole. The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency promotes the functionality of the whole transport network, traffic safety, and the balanced development of different sectors and areas.

The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency has in 2016 begun a three-year digitalisation project that will reform the generation, maintenance, and distribution of up-to-date traffic, movement, and general information on railway lines

The subproject Developing the rail network’s maintenance systems (RAID-e) has launched as a part of a wider digitalisation project. The goal of the project is to reform the generation, maintenance, and distribution of up-to-date traffic information, movement information, and general information on railway lines.

Welado is bringing its expertise in the rail industry to the RAID-e project

New automated methods for gathering information on the maintenance and condition of railway lines and their safety devices are being developed on the project with the help of Welado’s experts. Welado’s experts are developing and consolidating the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency’s information management processes.

Maintenance systems and better timed maintenance reduce costs and reveal the condition of the railway

The goal of the project is for the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency to take control of railway maintenance and registry information. The maintenance systems developed during the project will enable better timed maintenance activities, reduce costs, and allow for a better understanding of the condition of the rail network.
