13. (HISIM Technology, 2020, Continuing) Railway System Simulation Project Tool, Hi-SimuX, Project Developer and Tester.

This application was developed with C# language with a client-server architect, creating an interface with SimuX (server side) application to make railway projects simulation. Hi-SimuX takes parameters from the client to the server side and gets the result from the server to show the client. Also, it has a unique scope property, which helps benchmark every detail related to the simulation to each other.

09. (ABE Technology, 2016-2019) AVRASYA, SARIYER, HASKÖY, BELKAHVE, SELÇUKGAZİ, SABUNCUBELİ, ÇAMLICA Tunnels – FM Radio Repeater System, Project developer and integrator.

The system consists of three main parts: Web service / Modbus, Server Controller (Desktop C# based application), and FM Hardware Controller (Android-based application). The project aims to repeat selected radio frequencies inside of tunnels without adding announcements/or not, where system properties are:

live announcements (locally or remotely by VOIP)
repeat recorded announcement (local or remote)
remotely re-programming active frequencies
remotely re-programming active RT and RT
remotely re-arranging radio duration time
8, 16, 24, 32, 48 ... channels support
Web service/Modbus support to communicate other application

05. (ABE Technology, 2015-2017) TÜBİTAK, New Generation of Fail-Safe Communication Systems for Railway Vehicles, Researcher.

To improve the conventional signalization of railways in Turkey, we focused on researching and implementing communication types, not just vehicle-to-ground or ground-to-vehicle but also vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V). This project supports V2X using DMR, 802.11p, and GSM-based applications. GSM-based communication is used for long-distance supportive purposes to V2X.
