Bane NOR receives valuable support from senior consultant Robin Reiten, who works as a RAMS consultant for signals in several of their projects. He plays a crucial role in ensuring that RAMS (Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety) is maintained throughout the lifecycle of the projects.

Key tasks as a RAMS signaling consultant:

• Support the signaling project and design manager to ensure RAMS in all project phases
• Perform RAMS activities according to Bane NOR's signaling processes
• Facilitate risk analyses
• Monitor and follow up on RAMS work with signaling suppliers
• Obtain and prepare documentation for reports and applications to the Norwegian Railway Authority

Here are a few examples of projects that Robin is currently involved in;

Generic Development Thales

This project is working on the acceptance process for Thales signal system L90 5 and its associated software at a generic level. The functionality is ordered as needed by Bane NOR’s development projects or ICT.

Hove stabling facility

At Hove station, just north of Lillehammer on the Dovre Line, 16 new stabling tracks for train type 74 (Flirt) with the Thales signaling system are being constructed. The project is expected to be completed in the autumn of 2025.

Conversion from DATC to FATC on the Main Line

Between Brobekk and Grorud, the speed monitoring is being upgraded from partial (DATC) to full monitoring (FATC). This process is the final phase of the upgrade along the entire line (Oslo S) – (Lillestrøm), with planned completion in the spring of 2025.

Alnabru Resignaling (ALR)

As part of the ERTMS project, Norway’s largest freight terminal will be digitized. The project involves a new signaling system and the digitalization of traffic management. The project aims for completion in 2033.

Robin Reiten's efforts are vital in ensuring that Bane NOR's signaling projects meet high standards for reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety. RailAdvice is happy to support Bane NOR in these important assignments.
