BRINGING COMMUNITIES CLOSER TOGETHER 6 RAIL ENGINEERING CAPACITY ANALYSIS In many countries, rail systems need to accommodate increasing volumes of trains and passengers. The optimisation of network capacity is therefore a prerequisite for efficient, reliable and punctual train services. In many countries, rail systems COMPETENCIES need to accommodate increasing WITHIN CAPACITY volumes of trains and passengers. The optimisation of network capacity is • Scheduling and comparison of therefore a prerequisite for efficient, different timetable structures reliable and punctual train services. • Analysis of passenger service levels • Optimisation of platform and Railway capacity analysis plays station track usage an integral role in planning and • Simulation of railway networks, optimising railway services as well stabling yards, and station areas • Capacity consumption as enabling problems to be readily calculations using the UIC 406 identified and rail capacity to be method managed effectively.

It also has the potential to become a powerful enabler for urban growth and development. 05 Directing of tracks into Oslo S The Norwegian Rail Administration (JBV) selected Ramboll to analyse the capacity of a future Oslo Central Station (Oslo S), having new lines from different directions into the station. This was a simulation of a future situation with, among other 03 features, a completed Follo line (from south-west, designed by Ramboll) and four tracks in tunnel (only two today) from the west into Oslo S. 04 05 8 RAIL ENGINEERING EUROPEAN RAIL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ERTMS) Over the next 10-15 years, all European countries will need to operate signalling systems based on the European standard, ERTMS, which will enable seamless rail travel across national borders. Ramboll’s market leading expertise competitive and a sustainable Adding value throughout the project in this area includes the design of the alternative to road traffic. life cycle world’s first and largest nationwide In order to establish the most ERTMS system.

    1 Upcoming projects Infrastructure Construction Division About Bane NOR Bane NOR is a state-owned company respon- sible for the national railway infrastructure. Our mission is to ensure accessible railway infra- structure and efficient and user-friendly ser- vices, including the development of hubs and goods terminals. The company’s main responsible are: • Planning, development, administration, operation and maintenance of the national railway network • Traffic management • Administration and development of railway property Bane NOR has approximately 4,500 employees and the head office is based in Oslo, Norway. All plans and figures in this folder are preliminary and may be subject for change. 3 Never has more money been invested in Norwegian railway infrastructure. The InterCity rollout as described in this folder consists of several projects. These investments create great value for all travelers. In the coming years, departures will be more frequent, with reduced travel time within the InterCity operating area. We are living in an exciting and changing infrastructure environment, with a high activity level. Over the next three years Bane NOR plans to introduce contracts relating to a large number of mega projects to the market. Investment will continue until the InterCity rollout is completed as planned in 2034. Additionally, Bane NOR plans together with The Norwegian Public Roads Administration, to build a safer and faster rail and road system between Arna and Stanghelle on the Bergen Line (western part of Norway).
