State Turkish Rail (TCDD) has awarded 509 Indra a US$55 million contract to implement a planning system for its entire rail network, together with a high-speed train management system.

Indra will set up a new control centre in Ankara, equipped with cutting-edge technology, which will carry out operational planning for the country's 12,000 kilometre rail network, both conventional lines and high-speed tracks.

In addition, Indra’s DaVinci rail traffic management system will support comprehensive high-speed rail traffic management for the Ankara-Estambul and Ankara-Konya high-speed lines in the country.

The project includes traffic planning and management for all high-speed lines now under construction, which are scheduled to become operational before 2016, bringing the total of Turkish high-speed track overseen by Indra technology to 2,000.

The Turkish Transport Ministry intends to build a 10,000 km network of high-speed railway by 2023.
