A Case study from Denmark

Danish Signalling Programme

Bent Ahlgren, Banedanmark and Anders Møller, Rambøll

Agenda

1. The basis for the Danish Signalling Programme

2. Procurement Phase

3. Way ahead

4. Benefits

o Punctuality

o Safety

o Improved operational procedures

o Capacity

Background of the Signalling Programme

Danish signalling needsto be renewed now

Banedanmark is the owner of DK railway infrastructure:• Replacement• Maintenance• Operation

60% of all signalling will exceed absolute final service-life within 15 years

Life of DK- ATC expires in 2020

It takes 10-12 years to renew all signalling assets.

More systems have risk of serious breakdowns even today.

50% of today's train delays are due to signalling failures.

4

A total renewal of the signalling system minimize total cost and provide better performance

A total renewal is the best solution:

• Cheapest and fastest implementation• Provides higher punctuality and capacity• Most benefits for the passengers• Benefits are achieved faster

2006: Strategic political decision of a total renewal strategy

2007-08: Detailed plans & budget for a total renewal programme

Jan 2009:Final political decision for a fully financed total renewal programme was decided by the Danish Parliament

Feb 2009-12: Signalling Programme procurement phase

5

Two different systems

Conventional network (Fjernbanen):

ERTMS 2 and modern centralized signalling infrastructure and onboard

S-banen:

Modern metro/urban system. CBTC

More interfacing projects: Fixed transmission network, STM, GSM-R etc

New operational rules

No Fall Back System

6

The logic in total renewal

7

Better prices

• Economies of scale

• International competition

• Learning curve effect

Quantum leap in technology

• EC standard component, redundancy of central components, higher availability

• Few safety approvals

• Few interfaces

Savings on operations and uniform safety

• Reduction in maintenance costs

• Simpler and safer operational rules

• Fewer Traffic Management sites and reduction in staff

Procurement Phase

Contract strategy

Design Build Maintain contracts

• 2 Contracts on main & regional lines (East and West)

• 1 Supplier 2 contracts on the S-bane including all rolling stock

• 1 Contract for on-board main & regional rolling stock

• GSM-R data included in GSM-R tender starting now

Framework type contracts that allow fitting of new lines

Possible option for ERTMS regional

9

East contract

West contract

TMS Coordination by suppliers

Rolling stock contract

All supply & implementation from track to TMS

Status

• S-bane - 5 bids received

• Contract awarded to Siemens

• Within target budget, time frame 2020 > 2018

• Main Line (Fjernbanen) – 6 bids received

• 2 Contracts awarded to Alstom (East) & Thales-Balfour Beatty Rail (West)

• Within target budget

• On-Board – 5 bids received

• Contract awarded to Alstom

• Within target budget

10

Approach

• Early dialog with suppliers

• Marked research, purchase what the market is able to supply

• Minimum development risk approach. Only calculated and limited

development risks

• Functional requirements: let the Supplier supply existing systems

• New operational rules: remove national monopoly barriers

• Dedicated organisation and international team

• Negotiated procedure

• Close involvement of our owners

• Start collaboration approach

11

What we did to achieve this

Strategy: Benefit perspective

But total replacement gives more benefits than traditional replacement

• Enhanced punctuality

• Enhanced Capacity on selected lines

• Uniform safety level in whole country

• Optimizing maintenance

• Optimizing the train control organisation

• Optimising advanced train control

• Enhanced passenger information

• Driver for a transformation of Banedanmark

12

Re-signalling naturally gives limited benefits compared to cost amount

Roll out strategies: cost perspective

Focus on cost drivers:

• TRUE COMPETITION. Buy what the industry has on the shelves. New Ops.

Rules, etc

• High numbers of units = cheaper unit price,

• Same supplier: same solution, same interfaces, very few approvals

• ”Factory production” installation (installation 25% of the cost)

• Less track mounted equipment = installation outside possession hours.

• Achieving learning curve effect

• Optimizing possessions.

• Collaboration Programme management: cost of disputes

• Discuss safety level from a ”total perspective”

• Choose cost consentive solutions: GPRS rather than ERTMS 1 on stations,

no back-up, no shunting, development of a ”suitcase solution”

13

As there is no real standard, SP opted for Economy of scale

Way ahead

Roll-out until 2021

15

Starting 2009, it will take 10-12 years to carry out the total renewal

Two contracts for the conventional network

One framework contract for on-board equipment

Contract interface at Lillebælt

Roll-out phases:

•Early deployment

•Main lines

•Regional lines

•Low density lines

The S-bane

One contract

Technology: Suppliers well proven “metro” type system e.g. CBTC

Early deployment line:Jægersborg - Hillerød

Roll-out starting from end branches towards centre of Copenhagen

Last, the central lines: Risk-minimising approach

What does it mean for Banedanmark and the employees ?

17

Reorganisation during the next 12 years with impact on:

–All traffic management staff in Banedanmark

–All signalling technicians

–Train drivers with the train operation companies

Changes include:

–New operational rules

–New workplace systems

–New places of work geographically

–and more…

The expected benefits

o Punctuality

o Safety

The Signalling Programme

o Improved operational procedures

o Capacity

Punctuality

80 % reduction in delays caused by signalling

Reduction in delays caused by signalling

Safety

Uniform level of safety country wide

Improved operational procedures

Railway Undertakings, Privat Lines, Infrastructure Managers: 4.700

Banedanmark (excl. BDK Produktion): 450

Contractors (incl. BDK Produktion): 1.000

TOTAL 6.150

Time needed to meet training requirements

Capacity

Double up in 2020
