Hitachi Rail and Bane NOR have commissioned an L90-5 electronic interlocking system* in Hove, on the Dovre Line near Lillehammer.
The system digitises the management of points, signals and level crossings, supporting more reliable and efficient train movements.
Installed at the Hove stabling facility, the solution manages points, signals and level crossings digitally. This technology helps increase capacity for passenger services and supports more efficient maintenance operations—providing a foundation for reliable day-to-day performance
The project leveraged Hitachi Rail expertise in Norway, Germany and Romania, and was completed on time, meeting the standards required for Norway’s rail network.
“This achievement demonstrates how technological expertise and international collaboration can transform rail operations. This project reinforces our commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility. By modernizing Norway’s infrastructure and enabling smarter operations, we help create better journeys for passengers and contribute to reducing environmental impact,” – Astrid van de Weijer, Project Manager Hove and General Program Manager SignAn, Hitachi Rail.
Norway’s rail infrastructure faces growing demands for capacity, safety, and sustainability. This project exemplifies Hitachi Rail’s ability to deliver complex digital solutions that help optimise maintenance processes, improve operational resilience, and lay the foundation for a more sustainable transport system. By modernising infrastructure and enabling smarter operations, we help create better and more punctual journeys for passengers and contribute to reducing environmental impact.
For Hitachi Rail, this project reinforces its commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility. By modernising infrastructure and enabling smarter operations, Hitachi Rail is driving more seamless, sustainable mobility.
The L90-5 electronic interlocking includes
- One interlocking module
- One local operator place
- 42 point machines
- Three level crossings
- 15 main signals, 28 dwarf signals
- 59 detection points.
