French company Thales has secured a contract from Armco for the delivery of track circuits for different lines in Turkey.
Under the contract, Thales will supply, install and commission TTC track circuits on the Çerkezköy-Kapıkule section.
The TTC track circuit will deliver information for predictive maintenance of the system, as well as help detect the occupation, presence, and departure of a train in a given area to make rail operations safe.
The Çerkezköy-Kapıkule section is said to be the first phase of the Halkalı-Kapıkule railway project.
Halkalı-Kapıkule project is being constructed to link the country’s railway network with the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) via Bulgaria.
Thales is also upgrading the Isparta-Burdur-Denizli line with the installation of signalling and telecommunications systems.
