The new system will through the coming years be implemented all over Europe and will amongst other things increase the security level on the rails and in the end lead to more trains on time. The implementation of ERTMS is the biggest railway project in the history of Denmark and is incredibly complex. Denmark is the first country in Europe to roll out the system in the whole country. Banedanmark leads the project, and Alstom installs the signalling equipment on the entire train fleet and installs equipment along the rails East from Lillebælt. The new signalling system will be completed in 2030. The implementation of the new signalling system takes place all over Denmark. The roll-out of the signalling system takes place one stretch at a time and you can follow the status on the different stretches. Milestones 2009 A broad majority in the Danish parliament decides to replace the old signalling system with the new European signalling solution ERTMS. 2011 The implementation of ERTMS begins. September 2016 Alstom successfully tested ETCS Level2 baseline 3 application between Roskilde and Gadstrup; a world’s first. Trackside and onboard The replacement of the new signalling system takes place in three steps during the project: Installation of the new components along the tracks (trackside) and installation of equipment on the trainsets (onboard). When both tracks and train are complete, the signalling system is joined by the traffic management part, which allows the whole system to communicate. The 362 train sets to be installed with the new signalling system span 16 different types of trains and several subtypes. In the train a computer is installed together with sensors and cables that will communicate with the components along the tracks. June 2021 We are this far with implementing the signalling equipment along the 800 kilometer of tracks east from Lillebælt. June 2021 We are this far with installing the signalling equipment onboard the 362 train sets. These trains are all now running in regular revenue service with passengers.

ERTMS - In 2016, Alstom and Banedanmark successfully tested an ETCS (European Train Control System) level 2 baseline 3 application for the first time ever worldwide. - In 2018, Alstom sat a new Danish railway speed record of 255 kph during an ERTMS Trackside installation test on the first high speed line in Denmark from Copenhagen to Ringsted. S-tog in Copenhagen Alstom delivered 136 S-tog to DBS, which connects the area around Copenhagen. The S-tog has been designed and manufactured by Alstom in Salzgitter since 1996 and will be in operation until at least 2030.
