In Azerbaijan, specialists from 1520 Signal (part of National Projects Construction) have equipped the Ujar-Hajigabul railway section with modern automation systems. This completes the digitalization of train traffic control on the Baku-Beyuk-Kesik line, which is part of the international transport corridor between Azerbaijan and Georgia.

The project was implemented in partnership with Rail Trans Service company, with the customer being Azerbaijan Railways.Dmitry Bolotsky emphasized that the digitalization will allow increasing the speed of passenger trains on the Baku-Beyuk-Kesik line from 100 km/h to 140 km/h, and freight trains from 80 km/h to 120 km/h. The interval between trains is expected to be reduced from 20 to 8 minutes in the future.The 122-km Ujar-Hajigabul section had not been modernized for over forty years, since 1980. As part of the project, outdated relay systems were replaced with modern digital automation - the microprocessor-based interlocking system MPTs-EL-AZ.Now, station dispatchers will be able to remotely switch points and signals, set routes, monitor device parameters, and promptly identify pre-failure conditions of equipment via computer.The new system will control the operation of 6 stations, 19 level crossings, and over 120 sets of points. The system manufacturer is the Azerbaijani company Rail Trans Service, and the development is based on digital solutions from National Projects Construction's Russian companies.In total, since 2019, National Projects Construction companies have switched 711 sets of points and 27 stations on the Baku-Beyuk-Kesik line to digital control mode, including the major hubs of Ganja, Yevlakh, Ujar, and the Beyuk-Kesik power changeover station.

Russia Completes Digitalization of Railway Section in Azerbaijan-Georgia Corridor

This completes the digitalization of train traffic control on the Baku-Beyuk-Kesik line, which is part of the international transport corridor between Azerbaijan and Georgia.
The project was implemented in partnership with Rail Trans Service company, with the customer being Azerbaijan Railways.
"When working on major infrastructure projects abroad, National Projects Construction aims to create an ecosystem with local partners: we localize part of the production and create jobs. The digitalization of the Baku-Beyuk-Kesik line is a successful example of such international cooperation. As a result of the project, the speed and efficiency of transportation on the line will significantly increase, and traffic safety will improve," said Dmitry Bolotsky, Deputy Director General for Commerce at National Projects Construction Group.
Dmitry Bolotsky emphasized that the digitalization will allow increasing the speed of passenger trains on the Baku-Beyuk-Kesik line from 100 km/h to 140 km/h, and freight trains from 80 km/h to 120 km/h. The interval between trains is expected to be reduced from 20 to 8 minutes in the future.
