Suosituksen perustelu
Controlling night-time traffic is challenging. Unscheduled night-time test and teaching traffic
had not been planned sufficiently well or coordinated. It was difficult to form a comprehensive
picture of the traffic situation. Night-time traffic requires traffic controllers to make quick
decisions based on events.
Recommendation
Helsinki City Transport should schedule night-time metro trains and other units and draw up a driving programme for them.
Toimenpide-ehdotukset
Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd has improved the quality of the pre-planning of night-time operations produced by the metro track reservation process and monitors it in an enhanced manner through self-monitoring. A project has been launched to develop an information system to support the process. The information system project is under way, and the agreement on the system will be completed in the coming months.
