Motivation and objectives
reduction in number of heavy trucks
on roads in the harbour area
in zones which are not allowed for truck parking
reduction of
disturbances in traffic flow
truck waiting queues
„time losses“ for trucks
environmental impacts
a more regular traffic flow to the places of destination (e.g. container terminals)
possibilities to guide/control the approaching traffic

Basic idea Pre-Gate-Parking (PGP)
General
„buffering“ of heavy trucks on Pre-Gate-Parking areas in the case of capacity overload
in the road network/terminals, problems in traffic flow and too early arrivals
focus on container transports (high grade of containerization)
Pre-Gate-Parking area
PGP outside the port („response time“ for gates and possibility for
guiding and operating)
at PGP advance check-in at self-service terminals
check-in for rides to different terminals only once at the PGP
use of PGP-areas to comply with break and rest periods
Terminal gate
Benefits for PGP-User e.g.
„PGP lane“ for preferred handling of PGP users (“fast lane”)
„PGP lane“ also for other advance check-in drivers

Operating strategies – Implementation scenarios
Strategie comparison
Various possibilities
I
.
II.
A
Comparatively low investment cost
Later implementation of B/C requires intelligent
preliminary planning
B
High benefit in the case of disturbance
Recommendation
Combines advantages of A and C
Various possibilities of use
III
.
C
Sascha Westermann
Advantages are given as it is used by all drivers
consistently/homogenously; standardized system
Cost-intensive initial implementation
12
Operating strategy B: Recommended use in the case of problems
in traffic flow / other disturbances
II
.
B
High benefit in case of disturbance
Combines advantages of A and C
Recommendation
Aspects related to conception and function
Intended purpose, data required, interaction of functional units and their connections
Technical and physical elements
Equipment technology, communication systems, technical network structure and
interfaces
Aspects related to organizations and institutions
Co-operation of participating institutions and organizations, tasks and expertise
Further constructional arrangements
Areas for „Secure Parking“, connection to alternative transportation systems,E
