Metro Copenhagen

The Copenhagen Metro’s M1 and M2 lines form the backbone of the Danish capital’s automated urban rail network, serving critical connections across Copenhagen with high frequency operations and carrying millions of passengers annually. trenolab conducted a simulation study on the network, comparing the current signalling system with a hypothetical CBTC implementation. The study aimed to assess the impact of the future signalling system on operational performance and capacity. Our results provided insights into the expected improvements in capacity and service regularity with CBTC implementation, as well as its performance under different operational constraints. The study also highlighted key considerations for the transition to a new signalling system, including potential limitations and areas for further investigation.
