"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.
