N01.22 Motorway section Schönbühl – Kirchberg, Lindenrain rest area upgrade
The service building at the Lindenrain motorway rest area has been equipped with a new toilet module made of chrome steel; construction was completed at the end of 2023. The new toilet module offers better protection against vandalism, and it will be possible to continue its use in the event of a future replacement of the service building. R+R supported the Federal Road Office’s overall project manager in project planning and execution.
ERTMS Netherlands
Other countries, same problems: Modern railway technology requires time and money to implement. Jost Lüking was member of a team of six European experts on the ETCS train control system who assessed the status of the national ETCS program for the Dutch Parliament in mid-2023. Our Second Opinion formulated recommendations on program governance and management, on the technical, spatial and temporal scope of the program, on system integration and integration management, and last but not least on program costs and their current forecast. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterways published the Second Opinion at the beginning of November.
EP Hagnau – Augst N02
Within the Hagnau – Augst motorway maintenance project, structural changes to the western tunnel portal (direction Basel/Germany) have to be carried out to enable longitudinal ventilation in both traffic directions. We are pleased that the plans for the extension of the western portal of Schweizerhalle tunnel have officially been approved. This allows us to finalise the detailed design and approach the contractor submission process according to our project schedule.

METRO COPENHAGEN, NEW SIGNALLING SYSTEM ANALYSIS (NSSA)
Lines M1 and M2 of the driverless Copenhagen Metro are to receive a new signalling system. In a study of technical options, process scenarios, migration strategies and procurement solutions, R+R estimated life cycle costs for 18 different alternatives.
The driverless Copenhagen Metro consists of two unconnected line systems, M1/M2 and M3/M4. M1 was put into operation in 2002, M2 in 2007. Their signalling system will reach the end of its technical life in 2027. It was supplied by Ansaldo / Hitachi and is basically also operated by them. The existing system will be replaced by a system at least as modern as the one used on the Cityring, which opened in 2019. The Danish engineering company Rambøll was commissioned to examine technical solutions, process scenarios, migration strategies and procurement options. R+R has estimated the life cycle costs 2021-2065 for 18 strategic alternatives and analyzed the costs for capacity improvements with the existing system.
