The first high-speed railway in Denmark is currently under construction and expected to open in 2018. Further high-speed lines are currently under planning. As a part of a long-term green plan for transportation in Denmark in December 2008, the government at the time presented a high-speed strategy for the inter-city train traffic, called ''Hour Model'' (Danish: ''Timemodellen''). The strategy contains bringing down the travel time between the four largest cities of Denmark to one hour, thereby decreasing the total travel time between Copenhagen and Aalborg from approximately 4½ hours to 3 hours. The first part of the Hour Model, the new high-speed line between Copenhagen and Ringsted, is expected to open in 2018. After realization of the first three stages of the Hour Model, it can be expanded to Esbjerg and Herning. On 1 March 2013, the government published their proposal for fulfilling the Hour Model, as well as an electrification of the main lines. The proposal includes creation of a DKK 27.5 billion fund, ''Togfonden DK'' (Danish: ''Train Fund DK''), based on taxes from oil activities in the North Sea. The funding was supported by Enhedslisten and Dansk Folkeparti in a political agreement on 17 September 2013, when the potential outcome where adjusted to DKK 28.5 billion. On 14 January 2014, the parties behind the funding published an agreement for spending the fund, where from DKK 14.8 billion will be spent for realizing the Hour Model. ==Signalling== Railways in Denmark use a system for cab signalling which is unique, but is based on the system in Switzerland. The system allows 180 km/h maximum speed in Denmark (200 in Switzerland). 5 km of the Oresund Line closest to the border uses Swedish signalling, and 200 km/h is allowed here (only SJ X2 trains reach this speed here), as the only railway in Denmark. In order to allow modernization of the Danish railway network, Banedanmark are rolling out European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) Level 2 on all national rail lines between 2018 and 2021, a project called the Signalling Programme. The project was tendered out in four contracts: * National rail lines east of Little Belt Bridge, won by Alstom * National rail lines west of Little Belt Bridge, won by Thales-BBR consortium〔 * S-train signalling system (CBTC), won by Siemens * On-board equipment, won by Alstom 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High-speed rail in Denmark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
