Agenda

– Signalling programme on-board set-up

– DK goverment support fund

– Signalling programme contract set-up

– Cross border solution in the Øresund region

– Cross border solutions Germany - Denmark

3

The Danish Onboard set-up

– All trains on state contract financed by the state

– New trains must be financed by operators (eg. DSB)

– Finance includes First of Class, design, safety approval,

training etc.

– All operators in Denmark can buy on our framework contract

– Commercial trains – typical freight – are not financed by state

All trains employed for public service transport will be equipped with BDK cobtracted Onboard equipment

Freight Railway Undertakings

Who can apply and allocation

– All Freight RU’s which operate on Banedanmarks network and

own ATC fitted vehicles

– The total fund is DKK 44 million + 11 million for new entries

(2013) prices

– Maximum allocation is 50% of direct cost for purchase and

installation of ETCS

– If the applicant also applies CEF (TEN) funds – the maximum

funding is up to 50% of direct cost for purchase and installation

Freight Railway Undertakings

Criterias:

– Rolling Stock with Danish ATC and Trafikstyrelsens permission for

use

– It will – on ”one to one” basis – be possible to interchange one

vehicle with ATC with another vehicle without ATC

– The installation takes place within the following period: 2015-

2021

– New entries: Min. 70,000 km/year and min.20,000 km/year for

the specific locomotive

Freight Railway Undertakings

Outstanding issues

– Banedanmark is awaiting final approval of the application set-

up from the European Commission

– Locomotives: without ATC which are operating today –

typically for infrastructure works

– Shunting locomotives

Procedure to participate in the Signalling Programme

9

1. Signing the Subcontract A with Alstom

It triggers the start of FoC activities in the Main Contract

2. Signing a Back to Back with BDK to cover the FoC activities

Note: Both to take place at the same time

10

The Signalling Programme

We deliver:

– An onboard ETCS system integrated with DK-STM and SE-STM and a

solution for onboard integration with PZB

– A DK-STM integrated and approved with DK-ATC lines

– Integration of Alstom ETCS onboard with DK trackside(s)

We do not deliver:

- Integration of SE-STM with Swedish trakside (covered by Trafikverket)

- Integration of PZB onboard and German trackside (to be covered by RU

in cooperation with DB if needed)

- Approval of rolling stock in other contries (secure interoperabilty though)

Scope concerning cross border

11

Øresund border

Established formal cooperation TRV/ÖSB/BDK Joint working groups during 2+ years SE roll-out now to be based on B2.3.0. SE consider B3

12

Øresund border

Integrated operational system, border crossing at 180 km/h

• Existing signalling border at Peberholm

• Radio border asymmetrical due to Swedish GSM-R introduction

• GSM-R solution under migration

• Interference issues and shared GSM-R frequencies

• Unknown signalling supplier on Swedish side

17

Borders to Germany

Much lower traffic level than Øresund

Mainly Freight traffic

Manual transitions at low speed/standstill on existing connections

Attempts from SP at setting up a permanent cooperation with DB, so

far with little success

Germany has not current plans to investing in ERTMS lines bordering

to DK

RFC3/Corridor B is not highest priority in Germany

18

Padborg border today

• Physical border South of the station

• Manual transition ”border” at platform

• German trains allowed to operate into shunting area with PZB only

• German deployment of ERTMS in this area uncertain

• Station locally operated today (Both German and Danish Signaller)

• Change of Catenary system at standstill

• Manual change between ZUB & PZB at standstill.

19

Padborg station

– Remote controlled from Fredericia TCC

– ERTMS Level 2 without daylight signals (like the rest of the

DK network)

– Access from German side to ETCS shunting area with unfitted

trains based on PZB and German shunting signals (to be

confirmed feasible)

Planned future state

20

Padborg border

Area to be accessible for German freight locos without ERTMS

21

Femern border

Immersed tunnel, signalled by DK (ERTMS L2, Alstom)

• New ”border” at North entry to Burg

• Tunnel projekt/DK runs approval in Germany

• Uncertain upgrade of line and deployment of ERTMS from German side to Burg st.

• Special tunnel evacuation procedures (19 km long). Planned use of ETCS Reverse mode with special OR rule.

22

Tønder border

• Physical border on the block south of Tønder station

• No line block between Tønder and Niebüll

• Mechanical interlocking at Niebüll (owned by DB)

• Line operated by private company NEG AG

• Trains operating are Danish (Arriva trains)

• Danish ATC balises used in Niebüll on German side today

23

Tønder border

Proposal developed by DK SP based on discussions with German private line
