Vastuullisuusmallin kokeiluprojekti henkilöliikenneyrityksissä

The Finnish Transport Safety Agency Trafi is developing a management and procedure model for road transport companies with the purpose of reinforcing the safety culture of commercial traffic and promoting environmentally sustainable practices.

The two previous trial studies concerning the responsibility model focused on goods traffic. This third stage moved the focus on passenger traffic.

The trial was participated in by nine public transport and taxi companies of different sizes from around the country. Nine parties, both public and private, that order transports were interviewed to get an understanding of the views held by those who order such transports.

The study was commissioned by Trafi and implemented by the Verne Traffic Research Centre of the Tampere University of Technology. The project manager in charge was researcher Lasse Nykänen. In addition to Mr Nykänen, the research group consisted of his assistant Arttu Lauhkonen.

The steering group for the study met twice in the course of the project. The steering group was led by Sanna Ström. The other members were Juhani Intosalmi, Marke Lahtinen and Mikko Västilä from Trafi, and Lasse Nykänen and Arttu Lauhkonen from Traffic Research Centre Verne.
