Turkey expands domestic train simulator development simulation initiatives
In July 2026 Turkey's Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure announced the SİMURAY‑KBÜ project at Karabük University, a fully domestic train‑driver training system featuring a physical cabin, advanced simulation software, software and an AI‑driven performance assessment performance‑assessment module. Funded with a 500 million TRY budget, the project is part of a broader push to strengthen national rail‑system research and education, alongside the large Integrated Simulation Systems centre in Bilecik. Later in the month, that month Karabük University detailed the rollout of the country's first locally built train‑cab simulator, confirming its accreditation and linking it to the earlier ministry‑backed initiative. The university also launched a TÜBİTAK‑funded summer school teaching digital manufacturing, 3‑D printing, Arduino electronics and AI tools, extending the training ecosystem to high‑school students and fostering a pipeline of skilled personnel personnel. In late July 2026, Bağcılar Municipality, with support from the Istanbul Development Agency, received international recognition for its Digital City Twin Platform. Selected by the new German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ) as a “Good Practice” in the Connective Cities network, the platform combines AI‑driven analysis, 3‑D city modeling and risk‑informed decision support, and was documented for global municipal use. These developments illustrate Turkey's expanding emphasis on home‑grown simulation facilities. technologies across transport, education and urban management sectors.
