ANKARA (İGFA) ⁇ Violated toll registration occurs in the toll collection system when the toll cannot be collected in cases such as the absence of the HGS (Fast Toll System) label on vehicles on toll highways or insufficient balance.

Motorway operator companies have an obligation to inform the owners of vehicles that have violated these crossings.

While traditional methods used for the obligation to provide information lead to cost and time loss, they negatively affect the environment due to the use of paper and logistical needs.

Information provided to vehicle owners by operating companies is carried out digitally by REM (Registered Electronic Mail) instead of traditional methods; costs such as paper, printing, toner, cargo, mail and labor are saved by 96 percent.

Within the scope of the project, which was implemented with an innovative and environmentally friendly approach, the REM addresses of the vehicle owners can be determined through the Central REM Guide and the violation transition notifications can be transmitted to the addressee within minutes. The REM is; In addition to cost, time and labor savings, it also provides a safe and legal communication opportunity. This system eliminates paper and logistical needs, preventing trees from being cut down and reducing the carbon footprint. Thus, KEP offers an environmentally friendly approach to its users.

TÜRKKEP General Manager Olcay Yıldız, who gave information about the advantages of using REM in highway violation transition notifications, drew attention to the fact that the rate of use of REM in our country continues to increase day by day, ⁇ So that REM; It has now become an indispensable part of our lives due to its advantages such as cost savings, the possibility of safe and legal communication and an environmentally friendly approach. As TÜRKKEP, we have signed a very important cooperation with Otoyol A.Ş. Thanks to this cooperation, information about the violating passages carried out by individual and commercial vehicles on the Istanbul-İzmir Highway, which includes the Osmangazi Bridge under the responsibility of Otoyol A.Ş., is now transmitted to their interlocutors through the REM system. The Central REM Guide application implemented by BTK ⁇ (Information Technologies and Communication Authority) enabled this and many similar projects to be realized. As in Otoyol A.Ş., companies and institutions that use REM service can easily query the REM address of the other party through the Central REM Guide integrated into TÜRKKEP systems and send messages within minutes.

Assessing the cooperation with TÜRKKEP, Otoyol A.Ş. Information Technologies Manager Ekrem Gürses, on the other hand, in accordance with the Law No. ⁇ 6001, it is a legal obligation to inform vehicle owners about violated crossings on highways in private enterprises. As Otoyol A.Ş., after our work with TÜRKKEP, a significant part of these notifications started to be made with REM. This application covers the costs of infringing transition notifications %It saved 96%. By determining the REM addresses of vehicle owners through the Central REM Guide, we can carry out our violation transition notifications safely and legally in the digital environment. With this study, we have achieved a significant operational efficiency, especially in terms of the correct use of human resources and time management. In addition, with the digitalization of notifications, we contribute to the protection of the environment by eliminating needs such as paper and mailing and reducing our carbon footprint.

Logistics becomes more complex, the need for strong contracts increases

by the Logistics TransportIn the Category: Logistics

As the transportation sector in Turkey transforms into the logistics sector and takes a more active role in international trade, business processes become more complex. In addition to the innovations brought by intermodal transportation, which includes sea, road and railway, digitalization and technological developments also expand the scope of legal contracts in the logistics sector and require new definitions.

Logistics becomes more complex, the need for strong contracts increases

Complex processes lead to an increase in legal disputes in both internal and external logistics activities. Another area of legal problem focuses on contracts between companies and heavy vehicle drivers. Increases in compensation-generating transactions also increase the demand for well-defined legal contracts in the logistics and transportation sector. While disruptions occur in business processes due to poorly prepared contracts, grievous consequences arise for all parties. In addition to transported loads, more complex insurance models are also on the agenda in vehicle and driver insurance.

In this respect, the effort to minimize possible legal disputes between the insurance sector and the logistics sector in contracts and policies is also gaining importance. Based on all these needs, the International Transporters Association (UND) has prepared a comprehensive study including case studies and standard contract examples to guide both the transportation sector and its members.

It's been a 10-year book.

With this important study, which was signed on the 54th anniversary of the establishment of the International Transporters Association, ⁇ The Transporter's Bedside Book ⁇ was carried out to inform the sector companies in the face of legal situations and to provide resources to the sector stakeholders on controversial issues, especially contracts.

The book, which is described as a product of 10 years of experience and prepared by lawyers who are experts in their fields, includes what the carriers will do in the legal situations they encounter; There are also examples of contracts, instructions and minutes. This study aims to prevent legal disputes that may arise at every stage of logistics and transportation activities to member organizations and to shed light on new contracts.

There are also examples of contracts

Stating that the member companies of the International Transporters Association carry out transportation to more than 70 countries, the UND President said the following about the book; We all face problems in the countries we go to.

Unfortunately, we lack information on what to do in legal matters. We have prepared this work called The Transporter's Bedside Book so that UND members have it at hand when they need it. In this book, our carriers will be able to find the contract samples they need within the framework of their daily operations and use them in their activities by adapting them to their business models.

In this book, which will provide maximum benefit to our sector and respond to current needs, UND President Aras stated that the Bedside Book of the Carrier was created by lawyers who are experts in their fields and stated that; Our industry needs CMR & TCC (Turkish Commercial Code), Customs and Smuggling Law, Labor Law, Insurance Responsibilities, KVKK and including but not limited to all contracts, instructions, minutes and practical information notes including their implementation, he said.

There are practical information and case studies in the book

With the Bedside Book of the Carrier, it is aimed to provide practical information, especially in the land transportation sector. Example contracts, documents, minutes, including the employer ⁇ employee relations process, the procurement in foreign trade, the transportation of goods including loading, unloading, the customs clearance process, the storage process and the insurance process are included in the book. It is aimed to easily understand why, how and by whom these documents will be issued. The book contains visuals and/or examples of contracts and all kinds of information and documents. Practical knowledge gained from applications rather than academic knowledge is handled in a simple way.
