The nearly 100-year-old signaling system on the Danish railways is being replaced with a new IT-based signaling system called the European Rail Traffic Management System - called ERTMS.

In Denmark, Alstom currently supplies ERTMS signaling solutions to Banedanmark for Trackside in Eastern Denmark and for On-board equipment throughout the country.

The implementation of ERTMS is the largest railway project in Denmark's history and incredibly complex. Denmark is the first country in Europe to roll out the entire system throughout the country. Alstom installs signaling equipment in the entire train fleet and lays the signaling equipment along all tracks east of the Little Belt.
