Siemens will supply state-of-the-art signaling technology for a main-line rail route covering around 380 kilometers from Samsun to Kalin. The line links the Turkish port of Samsun on the Black Sea with the railway junction of Kalin in Central Anatolia.
Modernization of the signaling equipment will enable the maximum speed to be increased from 70 to 120 km/h in order to cut the journey time between Samsun and Kalin from nine to five hours.
Siemens is supplying the Trackguard Westrace electronic interlocking systems, point machines, level-crossing technology, communication technology, and the train control system ETCS (European Train Control System) Level 1 for the route, which covers 31 stations. The contract also includes equipping the operations control center located in Samsun.
Commissioning of the route is scheduled for 2017.
