Abstract
The aim of this project was to find out if it is possible to compare the Traditional Signalling system that has been used in Denmark for decades, with the new European Rail Traffic Management System, which is currently being implemented into the Danish railway system. Further their functions, hazards and safety barriers are analysed and also compared. The system has been defined and the hazards identified based on the Common Safety Method. With a Hazard Log being used to for hazard identification, and Fault Tree Analysis to compare system performance in a similar hazardous situation. The conclusion is that the two systems are comparable on the basis that both are safe to operate based on the CSM and Safety Directive. However, the systems do differentiate, when it comes to the functions, hazards and barriers.
