Stations

Follow the guidelines in Tag:railway=station first. The following is in addition to those guidelines.

Platforms

Platforms are mapped as areas. The following tags may be considered:

  • departures_board=* - whether there is a departure board. Values are "No", "Timetable" (for a timetable poster), and "Realtime" (for a screen showing upcoming departures).
  • ref=* - the number of the platform. The general consensus seems to be to use the track numbers as platform numbers. Separate the values bu a semicolon where more than one track shares a platform (e.g. 3;4)
  • tactile_paving=* - whether there is tactile paving on the platform. See the tag page for details on the values
  • wheelchair=* - whether the platform is wheelchair accessible. See the tag page for details on the values

The edge of the platform that is used for boarding trains is mapped as platform_edge. The values used are:

  • railway=platform_edge - to define the line as a platform edge
  • height=* - the platform edge height over the top of the rail. Number is in metres with "." as decimal separator. This information can be found in BaneDanmark Netredegørelse Bilag 3.6
  • ref=* - the track number of the track facing the platform edge.

Stations

All individual parts of the station (platforms, stops, etc.) should be part of one relation for the station. See Tag:railway=station for details on how to tag in general.

The operator of stations on BaneDanmark track infrastructure in Denmark is DSB and should be tagged as such.

  • railway:ref=* - the national station abbreviation, e.g. Helsingør is Hg, Århus is Ar


Tracks

General

General tags in Denmark are:

Copenhagen S-train network is currently tagged as Light Rail for no reason. It is planned to revert this tag.

Milestones

Danish "mileposts" are spaced 200 metres apart on the national railway network. This is not widely mapped yet. Exact positions can be found on BaneDanmark's online map tool, GIS.

Track gauge

All railways in Denmark use standard gauge. A few touristic railways may differ.

Communication systems

All railway lines in Denmark use GSM-R radio

Track loading

Axle load and metre load can be applied wherever the information is available. VALUE in metric tons, decimals separated with "." This information can be found in BaneDanmark Netredegørelse Bilag 3.3D and 3.3.E

Loading gauge

The maximum size of the train and its load that can fit on a railway line. In Denmark all of BaneDanmark's network use the TSI GB loading gauge

Electrification systems

The following electrification systems are used in Denmark:

Non-electrified

DC-Tracks

S-train commuter rail around Copenhagen:

Tram lines/light rail:

Copenhagen metro:

AC-Tracks

All heavy rail lines:

Padborg station has a few tracks to the German standard

Train protection

Do not use the map found in BaneDanmark Netredegørelse Bilag 3.3I, as it does not show the exact extent of the different train protection systems. Use the line diagrams (Strækningsoversigt OR-F and OR-S for lines with ETCS or CBTC, and TIB-S for lines without ETCS or CBTC)

With no train protection

With Danish ATC (=Automatic Train Control)

Don't tag it as ATC, as that tag is already taken by Swedish ATC.

With ETCS

Only ETCS Level 2 is used in Denmark
