Denmark has been one of the pioneer countries in the renewal of the ERTMS Level 2 signalling system. Six lines, totalling more than 350 kilometres, are already equipped with the system: the EDL (Early Deployment Line) EDL East North, EDL East South and EDL West; and the RO (Roll-out), RO7 East, RO8 West and RO5 West. Ineco has been working with the Danish rail infrastructure manager Banedanmark on the roll-out since 2017, which is expected to be extended to the entire network by 2030. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Management System) is the rail traffic management system that the European Commission is introducing in the nine main corridors of the Union\u2019s territory, where more than 20 different signalling systems operate, which the Commission calls \u2018Class B systems\u2019. In practice, this means that whenever a train crosses from one country to another, the locomotive, driver and even the whole train may have to be changed. The solution is a common system, ERTMS, which brings great improvements in railway operation, allowing the internal and cross-border traffic of all trains with greater capacity, more safety and lower costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Denmark, with just under 6 million inhabitants in a territory of about 43,000 km2<\/sup>, has the eighth highest per capita income in the world and an extensive and efficient land transport network \u2013urban, road, maritime and rail\u2013 which is in the process of expansion and renewal with an ambitious investment programme. As far as railway is concerned, the network\u2019s operation, with more than 2,600 kilometres in standard gauge (1,435 mm), is liberalised and has both public and private operators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
