Mipro is a Finnish technology company specialising in safety-critical railway and metro systems. Since 1980 Mipro has provided signalling, traffic management and operations control solutions for demanding environments, including main lines and low-density networks, marshalling yards and depots, metro lines, traffic control and train operation centres.
Complete solutions for Railway and Metro
Our modular and flexible system architecture supports both new infrastructure and the modernisation of existing lines and legacy systems. Solutions are adapted to customer requirements and local regulations, with a focus on safety, availability, interoperability and lifecycle maintainability. Mipro’s project services cover the complete delivery lifecycle from system design and configuration to integration, installation, testing and commissioning. Lifecycle management and maintenance services support long-term system development and protect the value of the customer’s investment.
Digirail EKA – EULYNX-based modular signalling architecture
Mipro is a key supplier in Finland’s Digirail programme and the first commercial ERTMS/ETCS Level 2 track section, EKA. Mipro supplies the SIL4 EULYNX-based Object Controller System (OCS), which forms the interface between the Centralised Safety System (CSS) and trackside equipment including points, signals, level crossings, axle counters and generic I/O. Mipro delivery to Digirail EKA project also includes the CTC system that forms the operational control layer for the EKA section. It provides the traffic control environment needed to supervise and manage railway operations in an ETCS Level 2 context. Mipro also provides ATO-TS functionality for automated operations testing and system validation. The EKA project is a multi-vendor implementation in which the CSS and Object Controllers are delivered under separate contracts and integrated through standardised EULYNX
interfaces. The architecture supports interoperability, cybersecurity, controlled system evolution and reduced dependency on proprietary wayside integrations, providing a practical foundation for future ETCS deployments and long-term railway modernisation.
Helsinki metropolitan area metro – long-term signalling development
Mipro has developed the Helsinki metropolitan area metro signalling system for more than ten years. Deliveries for the West Metro and the original Helsinki Metro have established Mipro’s SIL4-certified Computer-Based Interlocking (CBI) and traffic management systems as a central part of the network’s signalling architecture. This proven signalling platform is now being developed further as part of the METKA programme, which renews automatic train control and train detection systems to improve capacity, reliability and lifecycle sustainability. Mipro is integrating the existing track-side signalling system with the new CBTC system to achieve shorter headways with higher grade of automation. The delivery includes system interfaces, interlocking modifications, integration, testing and commissioning. A phased migration approach allows existing and new systems to operate in parallel during the transition, enabling controlled modernisation
while the Mipro interlocking remains the safety-critical core.
