The €3.2 billion Danish "Signalling Programme" is one of the largest railway modernizations in the world to provide a total replacement of the signalling systems in Denmark [1]. This paper focuses on the potential benefits to be delivered to the passengers, such as improved punctuality and increased capacity, by implementing advanced train control systems on both the main lines rail network (Fjernbane) and the Copenhagen suburban rail network (S-bane). The main lines network will be fitted with the European standard train control system: ERTMS Level 2, while the Copenhagen S-bane network will be fitted with a Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system using Automatic Train Operation (ATO). This paper also focuses on the possibility of implementing automatic driving operation (ATO) to the ERTMS level 2 solution for regional and high speed lines.
