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

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

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

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
