There was no margin for second-best. When the city of Copenhagen, Denmark set about to build an innovative metro transit system in the new millennium, the planners in charge insisted on the highest industry standards, especially in terms of safety and reliability. So in selecting a vendor to develop and implement an advanced solution for their system’s critical Automatic Train Control (ATC) technology, they chose only one—Union Switch and Signal.

For the last 125 years, US&S has led the industry in the development of vital train control, wayside equipment, and relays. Today, our products—from microprocessor-based interlockings to entire CBTC systems—continue to set the pace.

The Copenhagen Metro is the first fully automatic driverless transit system developed and implemented to meet stringent European CENELEC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization) standards. Through this accomplishment, US&S has provided a new and safer direction for the future of metro transit systems.

If you’re ready to step up to true driverless ATC, make certain it’s an innovative, solution built on solid experience. Then choose Union Switch & Signal.
