Carl Åge Bjørgan presented on ensuring ERTMS development in the Nordic countries at a rail conference in Oslo. Alstom offers a complete portfolio of ERTMS solutions, from individual products to integrated systems for trackside and onboard. They have experience delivering major ERTMS projects across Europe. In the Nordic region, Norway plans to request baseline 3, Sweden will use baseline 2.3.0.D initially, and it is essential to deliver a retro-compatible system. Denmark's total replacement of its old signaling system proved more cost effective than renewal and provided benefits to passengers faster. Their experience splitting the country into east and west contracts for the trackside work could inform other projects. Alstom can

• Norway will request a baseline 3 and Sweden will in the short-run
go with a baseline 2.3.0.D, where it will be essential to deliver a
full retro-convertible system.
• Delivery and Timing of solutions to avoid any baselines gaps and
to support a ”harmonised” plan between the infrastructure

8. Experience from Denmark
• An old signaling system that needs to be
renewed also the situation in Norway
• Signal systems from the 50’s 60’s and 70’s
• Decline in punctuality due to the old
signaling program
• Expensive maintenance cost
• New system needed before 2020
• Difficult Interface between different
technologies
• Monopolistic marked situation – high entry
barriers
• Compliant with EU -> ERTMS level 2

9. Experience from Denmark:
A total renewal of the system
Total renewal of the system proved better than running renewal because:
• Cheaper and faster implementation
• Provides higher train punctuality and capacity
• Most benefits for the passengers
• Benefits are achieved faster
2006: Strategic political decision of total renewal
2007-08: Plans and budget for a total renewal program
January 2009: Final political decision for a fully financed total renewal program was decided by the
Danish parliament

10. Political vision:
− Doubling number of Passengers in 2030 (from 2011)
− Strengthen conditions for collective transport
− Decrease in CO2 emission
• Improved regularity in regional/local trains from 84 % to 94 %
• The new signaling program will mean savings of 1.2 BE. Compared to a modernization strategy.
• Government approved budget for the Signal Program 3.2 BE.
• As a result of the increased competitiveness and dialog with suppliers through the tender stage the
Signal Program performed savings of 0.7BE
• Inreased capacity after national roll-out 2021.
Experience from Denmark:
Benefits of to replacement strategy (less interfaces)
Passenger requires a high punctual
level

11. The Signal Program contract setup:
Design Build Maintain contracts – up to 25 years of maintenance
1. 2 Contracts on main & regional lines (East and West), with option to take over other contract
2. 1 Contract on the S-bane (S-train around CPH) including rolling stock
3. 1 Contract for on-board main & regional rolling stock
4. GSM-R data included in GSM-R tender starting now
Framework type contracts that allow fitting of new lines
Possible option for ERTMS regional
The 4 contracts are harmonised with
the overall project plan and timetable
for the Signal Program
(2.3 B€)
Banedanmark Signal Program

12. Experience from Denmark:
Full-country roll-out split in East and West
P 12
• It will take 10- 12 years to carry out the total
renewal
• Contracts:
− Two contracts for the Trackside (East and West)
• To be awarded to different Suppliers
• West contract must contain an option for East part, so
in case the awarded company for West contract can’t
fulfill its project it can be cancelled and re-assigned to
the winner of the East part (and viceversa)
− One framework contract for on-board equipment
• Track side contracts interface at Lillebælt

 Manage and coordinate system
integration and migration
process
 Have a high level of Stakeholder
involvement and satisfaction
 Minimal disruption during
migration of the on-board system
Delivery of :
 Proven solutions
 Product maturity
 Short delivery time and
operational cost reduction
Success criterias – Take-aways from the DK experience
