BursaRay Capacity Increase Project
Signalling System for 120s headway
The BursaRay Capacity Increase Project aims to increase the BursaRay transport capacity by upgrading its signaling system. The headway time between trains is reduced to as little as 120 seconds. It is being implemented on 23.5 km of the East-West main line between University and Arabayatağı stations.
The project consists of three phases: The first phase between Arabayatağı and Paşaçiftliği has been inaugurated in October 2020. Works of Phase II (Paşaçiftliği-Küçük Sanayi) and Phase III (Küçük Sanayi-Universite) are well under way.
CCE is responsible for the system planning and layout design in cooperation with it’s German partner company. This not only includes the operational design with detailed travel time and headway simulations but also the complete Signalling system layout design:
- high-reliability high-performance fixed block system,
- based on BBR technology,
- 11 interlockings are controlling 161 axle counting sections, 157 signals and 334 balises to facilitate an impressive operational headway of 120 seconds.
CCE is also implementing the complete lineside installation of signalling equipment and signage.
During commissioning of the works, this headway has been successfully proven in tests with more than sufficient time reserves.
CCE has also tested and commissioned the complete ATP system with its expert personnel.
Despite many restrictions for travelling and working caused by the present pandemic, our project is well on track and will complete within 2021.
Kocaeli Tramway, Sekapark - Otogar Line
Catenary System - Supply and Installation Works
In parallel to the project in İzmir, CCE has been awarded with the supply and installation of 9.2 km of double track catenary system and the related depots in the Kocaeli tramway project. The project included design, delivery of catenary equipment from local and international suppliers, installation and commissioning.
This project is successfully completed.
İzmir Tramway, Konak and Karşıyaka Lines
Overhead Contact Line - Supply and Installation Works
Gülermak Industries has entrusted CCE with the supply and installation of 22.2 km of double track overhead line and the related two depots. The project included design, delivery of catenary equipment from local and international suppliers, installation and commissioning.
This project is successfully completed.
The Karşıyaka Line on the northern shore of İzmir bay:
The catenary of the Karşıyaka line has been erected in two section. The first section has been completed in only 2 months. First test runs took place in early January 2017.
The complete line was opened to passenger service on 29.04.2017.

Köseköy-Gebze Section of the Ankara-Istanbul HSL
Consultancy for Signalling, Telecommunications and Electrification
The Köseköy-Gebze project is a 56 km long part of the 490km long Istanbul - Ankara High Speed Line. In this section, the existing line has been rehabilitated and upgraded with modern technology according to TCDD's latest standards. The line is a double track electrified line for 160 km/h speed with 6 stations en route.
CCE provides consulting services to ILF Consulting Engineers, which include
- design review for the ETCS1 signalling system and telecommunication systems
- site supervision and dynamic tests on the line.
Vehicle Onboard Equipment for Durmazlar
ATP, Radio and Control equipment for the Green City Class
Durmazlar company developed a new high-floor LRT vehicle for the BursaRay system. CCE has been entrusted by Durmazar with equipping 60 vehicles with modern on-board systems:
- Automatic Train Protection system
- Radio technology
- complete Passenger Information System including a public announce system, CCTV, displays and the related control equipment.
This project is in progress and ongoing until 2017.
Vehicle Upgrade Project for Burulaş
Class SG2 Duewag trains from Rotterdam
CCE equipped Burulaş's fleet of 22 vehicles previously used in the Rotterdamse Metro system with the necessary control technology for Automatic Train Protection and radio communication. Full compatibility with the existing BursaRay infrastructure was an indispensable requirement for this project. Integration of conventional vehicle systems with state-of-the-art signalling and communication system posed an interesting challenge, which was mastered in excellent cooperation with the customer.
Light Rail Transit Line 1, North Extension in Manila/Philippines
Project Management for Signalling
The new Signalling system had to be fully compatible with the existing Signalling system, managed from one unified control centre. Works and commissioning had to be executed during ongoing train operations. Compatibility with 3 classes of vehicles had to be ensured.
The Signalling system of the North Extension Project of Manila's Light Rail Transit Line 1 has been executed by a Consortium under the lead of DMCI company.
CCE was the Consortium's project management contractor for the entire signalling works with a volume of ~5 Mio Euros.
The project contained the extension of the line from Monumento to Common Station and its integration with the existing LRT1 Line.
Bursa Light Rail System (Phase 2)
Project Management
The Bursa Light Rail System (Phase 2) Project has been executed by a Consortium under the lead of Yapı Merkezi company. CCE was the Consortium's project management contractor for the entire electro-mechanical works with a volume of ~25 Mio Euros.
The project included extensions
- of the West Line by ~6.6 km and 6 stations,
- of the North Line by ~2.2 km and 2 stations,
- of the Depot with the integration of 9 additional parking tracks.
Electromechanical works included the subsystems of Signalling, which required full integration with the existing Signalling system from Phase 1. Telecom systems had to be extended, whereas the radio system required a complete switchover from analogue to digital TETRA technology. The SCADA system required an extension as well. Stations had to be equipped with lifts and escalators.
The onboard systems of existing Class B80 vehicles had to be adapted to integrate with then new infrastructure systems,new equipment has been delivered for the new B2010 Class vehicles.
Bursa Light Rail System (Phase 2)
Installation Works
CCE was responsible for the complete electro-mechanical installation works of the Bursa Light Rail System (Phase 2) Project. The scope of works included:
- 3 signalling interlockings, wayside signals, axle counters, balises, point machines and related cabling works
- TETRA base stations, radio masts, tunnel leaky feeder cables and repeaters
- SCADA central system, line-side RTUs and peripheral equipment
- escalators and lifts for 6 at-grade and 2 underground stations
- catenary installation (1500V 2MW-1CW type) for ~18 km of main line track and ~2 km of depot track
