Providing human factors expertise for Denmark's 15-year resignalling project

Banedanmark - a governmental body under the Danish Ministry of Transport - is in the process of a 15-year signalling replacement project on the Fjernbane network. The long-distance railway's new signaling system, ERTMS (European Railway Traffic Management System) will replace the railway's old signaling system, which causes delays for train traffic. Banedanmark expects an 80% decline in signal-related delays on main and regional lines as a result of the Signalling Programme. Countrywide there will be a higher and more homogenous level of safety and future maintenance will be more economical and the system will provide an unprecedented foundation for better-centralised traffic control, energy optimization, and on-time passenger information. Mima has provided crucial human factors expertise to Alstom for Banedanmark for the East Side of the 15-year signaling replacement.
