Digital Transformation Story

RayNext: The Future of Digital Railway

Ankara to Istanbul
November 2025

"A journey that begins from the heart of Turkey, Ankara... A vision crossing Istanbul's bridges... The story of a digital transformation rising above thousands of kilometers of railway networks."

Why RayNext?

In the modern world of technology, a name must represent both the past and point to the future. RayNext strikes exactly this balance:

  • Ray (Rail): The soul of railways, the history flowing over steel rails for centuries, respect for Turkey's railway culture
  • Next: Vision for the future, continuous progress, the next phase of digital transformation

The Vision Starting from Ankara

In the capital Ankara, a team gathered at the UHDGM (General Directorate of Transportation Services Regulation) building and decided to digitalize the railway sector. Not just software, but a complete ecosystem would be built.

From type approval processes to vehicle registration; from ECM management to safety certificates; from training centers to train driver management... Everything would be digitalized.

Inspiration from Istanbul

Istanbul, the city that connects two continents. With its thousands of years of history, this city that blends modern technology inspired our project. Just like the bridge between two continents, RayNext, built by PiA Group, constructs the bridge between traditional and digital.

Data Analytics Story

RayData: The Power of Railway Data

Istanbul to Ankara
November 2025

"A data revolution rising from Istanbul... The story of numbers dancing over the network of thousands of kilometers belonging to Turkey's largest railway operator. Every trip, every ticket, every kilometer... All coming together to shape the future of railway transportation."

Why RayData?

In the age of data, information is power. RayData brings exactly this power to the railway sector:

  • Ray (Rail): The steel network of railways, thousands of trains, millions of passengers
  • Data: The meaning of every trip, every ticket, every kilometer - numbers transforming into decisions

The Vision from Istanbul

The heart of Istanbul, one of the technology centers... In this city, as the PiA Group team, we are working to contribute to revealing the power of railway data.

From passenger transportation to freight operations, from fleet maintenance to safety management, from resource planning to real-time tracking... In every area, data would become the center of decision-making processes.

The Need from Ankara

Ankara, the capital of Turkey. TCDD Transportation's decision center is here. Operations managers, strategy team, financial analysts... All needed better data, faster reports, more in-depth analyses.

RayData, which we developed from Istanbul, empowers decision-makers in Ankara. It enables them to see, understand, and optimize operations thousands of kilometers away in real-time.
