Finnish technology company Teleste will install a ‘situational awareness’ (S-aware) platform on Helsinki’s metro system.


Part of a €2 million contract to improve passenger safety, the solution will be rolled out gradually next year and is expected to be complete in 2020.

S-Aware collects real-time information from various subsystems and data sources to display a real-time view of the operational infrastructure.

Teleste says the system will allow 2157 Helsinki City Transport to respond better to security failures, alerts or states of emergency.  

The solution can pre-define automated operating procedures and comes with debriefing and training tools to help anticipate future incidents, the company adds.
