Norwegian Railway Administration – Trondheim Traffic Management and Power Control Center, which controls ca. one third of the Norwegian Railway network. The Centralized Traffic Control has been in operation since March 2006.
“We are very satisfied with our new traffic centre. It has worked almost faultlessly, since we moved from Trondheim (Norway) central station the 25th. of March 2006. When an analogous centralized traffic control centre was opened in Sweden, there were registered 2 600 major and little errors in the running-in period. In Trondheim (Norway) there were registered 6 non-compliances for the same period …” (On the offensive from the first minute, Challenges and Success, The Norwegian Railway Administration, January 2008)
