Rail transport is among the modes of transport that provides safe and reliable logistics services for the transport of passengers, goods, and dangerous goods. The decrease in railway transport volumes in recent years reveals the necessity of examining the railway transport performance. In this research, it is aimed to determine the railway transport performance of European countries in 2020. Sixteen railway performance criteria have been determined. Three of these criteria are cost-based and thirteen criteria are benefit-based. The criterion weights have been calculated by the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) technique. The railway transport performance of twenty-three European countries is presented using the Range of Value (ROV) technique. The data set has been obtained from the Eurostat database. According to the research findings, the three criteria with the highest weight are determined as rail accidents victims, rail accidents, accidents involving transport of dangerous goods. The three countries with the highest railway transport performance are Germany, Italy, and Sweden. Suggestions for increasing the railway transportation performance levels of the countries are presented.

Avrupa Ülkelerinin Demiryolu Taşımacılığı Performansının CRITIC ve ROV Teknikleriyle Değerlendirilmesi

Demiryolu taşımacılığı yolcuların, malların ve tehlikeli maddelerin taşınmasında emniyetli ve güvenilir lojistik hizmet sunan ulaştırma modları arasında yer almaktadır. Son yıllarda demiryolu taşıma hacimlerinde düşüşlerin yaşanması demiryolu taşımacılık performansının incelenmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu araştırmada Avrupa ülkelerinin 2020 yılı demiryolu taşımacılık performansının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada on altı demiryolu performans kriteri belirlenmiştir. Bu kriterlerin üç tanesi maliyet esaslı on üç tanesi fayda esaslı kriterdir. Kriter ağırlıkları kriterler arası korelasyon yoluyla kriterlerin önem tespiti (CRITIC) tekniğiyle tespit edilmiştir. Yirmi üç adet Avrupa ülkesinin demiryolu taşımacılık performansı değer aralığı (ROV) tekniğiyle hesaplanmıştır. Veri seti Eurostat’den elde edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre performans kriter ağırlığı en yüksek olan üç kriter demiryolu kaza kurbanları, demiryolu kazaları, tehlikeli madde taşımacılığındaki kazalar olarak belirlenmiştir. Demiryolu taşımacılık performansı en yüksek olan üç ülke ise Almanya, İtalya ve İsveç’tir. Ülkelerin demiryolu taşımacılık performans düzeylerinin artırılmasına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
