"Safety for tunnel trio"-
Redundant traffic control system
near Antalya
| Antalya and Alanya, the two popular holiday resorts on the Turkish
Riviera are connected by a four-lane coast road. In Westerly direction
towards Antalya the road has three tunnels which were opened for traffic
in 2006. These tunnels with a length of 300 meters, 1,540 meters and 400
meters were equipped with an efficient, highly available control system
to ensure trouble-free and safe operation and to be able to respond
quickly in the case of an accident or fire. |

The general manager for the electromechanical equipment was the Turkish
civil engineering company Yapi-Merkezi. The holding company contracted the
system house for automation in Erlangen, Heitec AG, to automate the traffic
control system. The Solution Partner realized a redundant monitoring
system based on the SIMATIC S7-400H and WinCC.
