TÜSSİDE has completed the "TCDD System Analysis and Operation Model Research Project for Increasing TCDD Logistics Efficiency" for the efficient use of TCDD Logistics Centers and Logistics Sites, and has carried out a strategy study on the relevant facilities and put forward operating model recommendations.
Within the scope of the project, the current situation analysis for logistics areas and railway transportation in our country has been carried out and the aspects of the railway logistics sector open to development have been identified by analyzing Turkey's position and potential in transportation corridors with reference to successful world examples.
Infrastructure utilization analysis, capacity analysis and field analysis were carried out within the scope of the current situation analysis in railways. The studies were carried out in coordination in the field and at the desk; 50 facilities in different regions of Turkey were visited on-site and an assessment was made in accordance with the characteristics of each.
During the project, focus group meetings, interviews and workshops were held with expert teams, load analysis and competition analysis studies were conducted, and legislative analysis and recommendations were evaluated.
The situation in Turkey regarding freight mobility has been identified, spatially presented and the potential potential of the facilities and the amount of freight in their back areas have been determined. In addition, rail, road and maritime comparisons have been made and integration points in freight mobility have been evaluated. Policies for ensuring the competitive advantage of the railway have been evaluated, scenario analyses on possible outcomes and possible gains have been presented.
According to the findings obtained from the analysis of all the studies conducted throughout the project on the logistics sector and railway sector in Turkey, logistics centers were grouped under 6 classes. Operating model recommendations are presented according to the identified classes.
When the initial results of the recommendations given by TÜSSİDE are evaluated, TCDD has achieved significant savings through investment efficiency and rental revenues have increased significantly without decreasing customer satisfaction.
