BEIJING, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hollysys Automation Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: HOLI) ("Hollysys" or the "Company"), a leading provider of automation and control technologies and applications in China, announced today that it signed two contracts to provide the ground-based high-speed rail signaling system and equipments to Guiyang- Guangzhou high-speed rail line ("Guiguang Line") Guizhou section and Baiyun- Longli north high-speed rail line, valued at RMB 117.12 million or approximately USD $19.03 million in total, with designed running speed of 250 km/h for both lines. These two lines are expected to be operated by the end of 2014 and mid of 2015 respectively.

The ground-based high-speed rail signaling system and equipments include Train Control Centers (TCC), Temporary Speed Restriction Servers (TSRS), Line-side Electronic Units (LEU) and other auxiliary equipments, work together with the on-board signaling equipment ATP (Automatic Train Protection), as the critical control elements in the high-speed railway signaling systems to ensure the safety and reliability of the high-speed railway operation.

Guiguang Line connects Guiyang city and Guangzhou city with designed total 21 stations and a total length of 857 kilometers. Guiguang Line Guizhou section will start from Guiyang, then pass by Longli North, Changming and others, and then arrive in Congjiang with eight stations along the route with 276 kilometers. After Guiguang Line operation, it will only take approximately four hours from Guiyang to Guangzhou, which will effectively reduce the travel time of passengers. The 54 kilometers Baiyun- Longli north line will connect Guiyang Baiyun District and Longli County, and then go through Guiyang Longdongbao airport, Xiaobi Village, end in Guigang line Longli north station, which functions as a good supplement of public transportation in these areas.
