Suosituksen perustelu

Traffic controllers feel that they have insufficient say in the creation of new traffic control systems
and the development of old ones. Defects that are the responsibility of the Finnish Transport Agency
(such as defects in technical equipment) are corrected quickly, but deficiencies and development
needs are not necessarily reacted to at all.

Recommendation

When procuring traffic control systems, the Finnish Transport Agency must take steps to ensure that any development needs emerging in a system can be implemented smoothly during the system’s lifespan.

Suosituksen tarkennus

Feedback from traffic controllers in particular must be taken into consideration in the identification of development needs and the implementation of improvements.
