New Signalling System Analysis

The Copenhagen Metro M1/M2 has been in operation for nearly 15 years. It is running with high Service Availability (SA) and with a customer satisfaction which exceeds other public transportation companies, both domestic and foreign and is in line with the best transportation systems in the world.

The demand for public transportation is changing in Copenhagen and the existing metro system is growing older. Metroselskabet is therefore facing new challenges of maintenance and renovation of the assets in the Copenhagen Metro M1/M2 in order to ensure a continuously high level of SA and customer satisfaction.This project analysing a new signalling system is anchored in Metroselskabet’s Investment Programme lead by Programme Manager Britt Skovdal Rasmussen. Project Manager is Matias Sevel Rasmussen. The Investment Programme is controlled by a steering committee where the CEO of Metroselskabet is chairman.

Services is taking place at the Metroselskabets adresse, Onsite and at the Consultants home adresse.

Metroselskabet is carrying out an analysis to support the decision of when and how to re-signal lines M1/M2. The purpose of the analysis is to identify a strategy that provides the optimal outcome for a replacement signalling system. The system will provide a like for like replacement of the existing distance-to-go track circuit-based system, exploit the capabilities of the newest technology available but adapted to the characteristics of the M1/M2 Metro. The analysis will allow Metroselskabet to make an informed choice on how and when to proceed with the procurement process and ensure that the scope, budget and time plan are secure for the project.The scope of the analysis will cover all aspects of bringing a new signalling system into operation, including design, installation, stage works, cutting over strategy, safety approval, testing and commissioning. The analysis will also cover a survey of the currently offered products on the market that are relevant to this analysis in question. All aspects of commissioning a signalling system in a brownfield environment will be considered along with a consideration of the special characteristics of the M1/M2 in terms both of the technical installations and accommodation but also in terms of the operational environment that the installation and commissioning activities will need to be carried out under. Finally, the configuration management process that places a heavy burden on the contracting entity to deliver the necessary documentation to allow the installation and commissioning to proceed shall be considered.
