Rail temperatures will be closely monitored on railways

According to the compilation made from the 2027 Presidential Annual Program, it is aimed to create a safe, accessible, environmentally friendly and economical transportation system by developing the country's transportation and logistics infrastructure. Additionally, it is aimed to evaluate Türkiye's potential as a regional logistics base to support production and exports.

In this context, infrastructure works to establish a disaster-resistant transportation infrastructure will be completed. Infrastructure information system will be developed in order to reduce the effects of climate change and natural disasters on railway transportation. Within the scope of the Safety and Security Information Infrastructure System Project, the installation of the Rail Temperature Notification System on railways will be completed.

By increasing the number of railway vehicles, a 5-mile electric train set at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour, a 6-mile electric train set at a speed of 225 kilometers per hour, an 8-mile suburban train set, a 45-mile electric main line locomotive and a 6-axle electric main line locomotive will be provided.

The realization of the Transportation and Logistics Master Plan will be reported annually. A Local Automatic Train Inspection Station will be established.

Modernization works for transportation on conventional railway lines will be completed on time according to the work schedule, and new project proposals will be prioritized according to load potential.

The ongoing high-speed train projects will continue in accordance with the projected work schedules by ensuring coordination between investor organizations.

The construction of the Çukurova Region and İskenderun Bay, Filyos Port and Filyos Industrial Zone junction lines will continue in accordance with the work schedule.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE WILL BE CARRIED OUT ON HIGHWAYS

Priority countries to improve Türkiye's international air connectivity will be determined and a road map for negotiations will be prepared.

Preventive maintenance will be carried out on highways to reduce heavy maintenance costs. In order to carry out maintenance management, inventory information on 10 thousand kilometers of roads will be updated, and major superstructure repairs will be completed on 276.5 kilometers of highways.

A 400 kilometer long communication infrastructure will be established on state and provincial roads. In this context, Intelligent Transportation Systems (AUS) Center will be established.

New modules will be developed for the Traffic Safety Analysis System within the scope of efforts to prevent accidents on highways. Awareness training on traffic safety will be given to 75 thousand students with mobile traffic training trucks.

1400 kilometers of guardrails and 555 kilometers of rumble strips will be installed on highways.

International legislation update efforts will be followed and draft regulations will be prepared.

CAPACITY WILL BE INCREASED IN THREE TRANSPORTATION MODES

Türkiye will continue its investments in all modes of transportation and increase its capacity in railways, air and roads. In this context, it is envisaged that the length of the high-speed train line will be increased to 2 thousand 604 kilometers by the end of this year and to 3 thousand 244 kilometers next year. By achieving these goals, it is aimed to increase the use of railways in passenger transportation. The share of railways in terrestrial passenger transportation is targeted to be 5.93 percent this year and 6.99 percent in 2027.

It is planned to increase passenger transportation capacity by continuing airline investments. While 257.2 million passengers are aimed to be transported by air this year, this number is expected to reach 270 million next year.

Efforts to increase travel comfort and safety on highways will continue. The divided road network in this area is expected to be 30 thousand 395 kilometers by the end of the year and 30 thousand 675 kilometers in 2027.
