F-Banen signaling programme and migration strategy

A replacement of all signaling on the entire Banedanmark railway network with ERTMS by the end of 2021

That is the objective of the Danish signaling programme decided by the Danish parliament in 2009. The decision to fund a total replacement programme was made by a broad political majority.

It was a historic decision. A total renewal of all signaling on a national rail network in a single programme has never been attempted on this scale before in Europe. Denmark will be the first country to carry out a countrywide implementation of ERTMS level 2, the newest European common signaling standard.

The programme represents a major change in technology intended to maximize the possibilities and benefits of re-signaling the Danish railway network. It is unique in its approach of focusing on economies of scale and creating a competitive market situation to ensure optimized price and quality. This may be a normal market situation in many other businesses but unusual in the signaling business.

Who is using the JTL laboratory and what is being tested?

Who is using the JTL laboratory

All suppliers – Alstom, Thales, Alstom (Onboard)

Customer for customer testing

External interface integration tests

ESB – external interface tests

Demo’s, inspections, witnessing

What is being tested?

All integration testing between the different deliveries from Supplier and Customer.

End-to-end tests

Performance tests

Security IT tests

Failover/recovery tests

Customer operation tests

Customer usability tests

Customer acceptance tests e.g. within ETCS & IXL

Customer’s own system integration test

JTL test phase & cycles

JTL test phase – split into x number of test cycles

JTL runs in accordance with a joint test schedule constituting that

all tests are grouped into one test cycle

Laboratory programme test strategy

A test model & process used for all test phases running like a

factory as it uses the same overall process in which the only

content is change

Definition of process Tools to do it the right way

Configurations management - test baselines

– All test cycles are under configurations management responsibility

– All test cycles are baselined in the the Baseline Log on SharePoint

JTL test schedule

– JTL primavera project will be used to show 3 views:

o Full JTL schedule: A primavera schedule which is to document

all activities during the JTL test phase

o 8 week JTL schedule: An excel sheet showing this week’s and

the next 7 weeks’ test activities within installations, smoke test

and test executions

o Test cycle F-Banen E/W schedule: For both Alstom & Thales,

it shows the test cycle planned/running from FAT test to

completed review of test report
