Ulaanbaatar,
April 13, 2026 /MONTSAME/. A
Railway Traffic Control Center was inaugurated on April 10, 2026, marking the
transition of railway operations to unified management and oversight.
For the first time in Mongolia,
a centralized train control system, a pilot real-time monitoring system, and an
integrated safety surveillance solution are being introduced. According to the
Ministry of Road and Transport, this will enable the deployment of RFID- and
CCTV-based monitoring at key strategic stations such as Sainshand, Sukhbaatar,
and Ulaanbaatar-2.
The project, jointly implemented
by the Ministry of Road and Transport, the Ministry of Finance, and the Korea
International Cooperation Agency, completed design works in 2022–2023, with
construction beginning in March 2024. The facility has now been commissioned following
acceptance by the State Commission.
At the opening ceremony,
Minister of Road and Transport Delgersaikhan Borkhuu said that unified
management of train operations based on modern technology will enhance safety,
efficiency, and responsiveness in the sector. He noted that the Railway
Authority—established last year as a government implementing agency—is
responsible for overseeing train operations under a unified system and
coordinating transport across infrastructure networks. Further measures are
planned to expand operations and strengthen monitoring, control, and
coordination of train traffic using advanced technologies.
He also highlighted that
cooperation between Mongolia and the Republic of Korea in the transport sector
extends beyond railways, with growing collaboration in road and air transport,
as well as logistics. The two sides plan to jointly implement projects and
initiatives, including the introduction of intelligent road management systems,
air transport liberalization, and the development of logistics centers.
The project’s design
works were carried out by MSL LLC, supervision by KAN LLC, and construction by
Mandalt Construction LLC, involving more than 100 engineers and technical
staff.
