At Proxion our job is to improve the safety of railways and urban rail traffic as well as reduce their risks. During the projects our experts constantly evaluate risks so that the results will be top-quality and safe as well as user-friendly. Our versatile trainings guarantee that those working in the rail sector can develop and maintain their skills.
Risk managements of significant changes in railway systems has to be inspected. We also see it as our responsibility to ensure the approval and enable the use of safe technical solutions and future technologies on the railways.

Railway safety
Risk assessments and safety advisory services related to RID transports, functional safety assessment and risk management (SASC, i.e. Safety Case) as well as personnel safety training in instruction, construction site and factory training can be implemented on a customized online platform, taking into account the company's needs. We develop the industry and work in close cooperation with various stakeholders and authorities.
We always carry out our customers' assignments in accordance with current regulations. We also have excellent expertise in safety culture and HOF (Human and Organizational factors).
Track Management services
Our team also has strong expertise in internal audit functions for different customer needs. In addition, we carry out assignments such as analysis and classification of deviations for the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency.
We have carried out several processes in accordance with safety authorisations quickly and efficiently with high customer satisfaction. Our team consists of long-line railway experts. We have special knowledge concerning for example safety management, driver activities, replacement work, equipment, regulations and dangerous substances.
Implementation services
When performing commissioning inspections, we confirm that the system under review is being implemented in accordance with the regulations and guidelines of the industry.The plans made are checked and the functionality and safety of the system are tested. The commissioning inspection assesses whether the solutions made in the project are the best possible in terms of the end result.
The commissioning inspector confirms that the system can be implemented safely. With the ProVISU program developed by Proxion, system testing can be simulated according to a realistic situation. We have also been involved in the commissioning of Finland's first ERTMS test track.
Technical safety services
We produce security specification based on a risk assessment for our customers. We prepare the necessary safety analyses, such as FMEA, FTA, ETA and HAZOP analysis based on the customer's needs. Our safety analyzes aim at a reliable, usable, maintainable and, above all, safe technical system, whose performance and reliability can be monitored throughout the system's life cycle. In this way, the customer can be assured that the delivered product meets the requirements specified by the customer and the prepared plans when in use. The performance can be monitored with the RAMS values formed on the basis of the safety analysis.
The adoption of new rolling stock as part of the railway system requires a separate approval. Our fleet services help you meet and demonstrate technical requirements and ensure safety.
Measuring services
Measurement services offer expert services in data communication, radio networks and positioning. The mobile measurement laboratory is equipped with versatile equipment that enables data communication and positioning measurements tailored to the customer's needs in the customer's own environment. In addition to network coverage and capacity, we measure the functionality of the customer's critical applications. In addition, we carry out interference measurements of the radio network from different frequency ranges, quality and comparison measurements, and quality measurements of positioning systems, for example.
The measurement services are a comprehensive solution where the customer needs are mapped, the necessary test cases are identified and the implementation of the measurement is customized, after which the results will be analyzed and reported to the customer as agreed upon.
Requirements engineering and quality management
Systematic requirements engineering can be used to demonstrate the conformity of a product, system or service during the entire life cycle of the project. In addition, the traceability of requirements is improved and the assessment of the fulfillment of requirements is made easier. Proxion offers requirements engineering consulting services that improve requirements management and ensure a smoother evaluation and approval process, thus saving the project time and money.
The goal of documentation and quality management services is to ensure that up-to-date and sufficient information is found when it is needed. Nowadays a lot of information is produced, so storing it in a controlled manner and ensuring that the right information is found with various searches is particularly important for all organizations.
Electronic information management systems do work reliably, but finding information from them always depends on human factors. Defining the appropriate attributes and filling them in always depends on people, so sufficient attention must be paid to this when systems are built and put into use. In practice, the aim of the documentation and quality management services is to help our customers define the document and quality management processes that are suitable for them. This makes the creation, processing and archiving of documentation efficient as well as supports the easy finding and updating of the documentation when the need for changes arises.
Traffic design
Traffic design takes into account the needs and possibilities of both passenger traffic and commercial transport. At Proxion the traffic design team works in close cooperation with other teams and technical fields - that is how we make sure the solutions are viable in practice.
Our logistics design team designs transport and storage solutions cost-effectively and taking the customer's needs into account while making the railway transport a significant part of the transport chain. Examples of logistics design include loading and unloading solutions for ports or factories, layout planning and raw wood terminals.
Transport systems
The goal of transport system design is to get the passenger traffic and commercial transport to move sustainably, safely and effectively to their destination. Design requires understanding and managing the whole of infrastructure, services and information. We offer a wide range of expert services to support the development of the transport system.
According to the Act on the Transport System and Roads, transport system design is continuous and interactive design based on impact assessment and cooperation between authorities and other actors. The purpose of strategic level planning is to coordinate different goals and measures regarding the transport system. In practice, design based on cooperation as intended by the law is nowadays organized through regional transport system teams (Source: Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency).
Our services include strategic design of the transport system, traffic research and the preparation of materials supporting representation of customer's interests, as well as support for the design and implementation of development projects.
