Alstom wins another signalling project in Turkey
-
Driverless CBTC ensuring a reliable service
Alstom has signed a new contract to install a complete driverless communications-based train control (CBTC) signalling system and electromechanical infrastructure for the Umraniye-Atasehir-Goztepe (UAG) Metro Line, which is of great importance for the Anatolian side of Istanbul. This contract will not only enhance the existing infrastructure quality but also advance reliability, travel comfort and reduce maintenance cost for the operator.
Alstom, through Gulermak and Nurol Joint-Venture, will ensure that the 13-kilometre long UAG metro line will operate as a fully automatic and driverless system. The line, which will connect Marmaray, Uskudar-Umraniye-Cekmekoy-Sancaktepe and Kadikoy-Kartal-Kaynarca metro lines, will have 11 stations with the highest level of safety measures. The line will be compatible and interoperable with the the Dudullu-Bostanci Metro Line signalling system.
