Speeding up the roll-out of a new safety system
The European Rail Traffic Management System, or ERTMS for short, is the European standard for rail safety. Installing the new signalling system is a priority for rail infrastructure managers and rail operators. However, replacing old and obsolete safety systems along the track and in trains can be complicated and time-consuming.
We are the only party with experience in installing both ERTMS systems and components of all major manufacturers along railway tracks and ETCS-systems inside trains. And we are supplier-independent – we have experience with the systems of all system suppliers. This unique combination of skills enables us to help infrastructure managers and operators to introduce the new systems in a safe and efficient way. We are currently working on innovations that will speed up installation even further.
An ERTMS balise in the track
We have proven experience with the installation of ERTMS in the Netherlands, and both CBTC and ETCS in Denmark. On behalf of Banedanmark we are rolling out the new new signalling system in Jutland, which will help to increase punctuality.
Additionally, we have the knowledge and staff to maintain a variety of systems in-house. As a result, we can help you to gradually replace old safety systems with today’s computer-controlled technology, while keeping disruptions to existing rail traffic to the very minimum.
To speed up the installation of the new safety system even further, we are working on two unique innovations:
These two innovations are expected to result in time-savings and increased track availability, and thus in cost-savings. It also relieves the workload for mechanics.
In addition, Strukton Rail and Strukton Power can offer custom-made dual mode object controller technology to ensure a smooth migration to the new system.

Denmark is the first country in Europe rolling out digital signalling systems in the entire country and we are in!
