Motivation and objectivesreduction in number of heavy truckson
roads in the harbour areain zones which are not allowed for truck
parkingreduction ofdisturbances in traffic flowtruck waiting
queuestime losses for trucksenvironmental impactsa more regular
traffic flow to the places of destination (e.g. container
terminals)possibilities to guide/control the approaching

Basic idea Pre-Gate-Parking (PGP)Generalbuffering 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 arrivalsfocus on container transports (high grade of
containerization)Pre-Gate-Parking areaPGP outside the port
(response time for gates and possibility for guiding and
operating)at PGP advance check-in at self-service terminalscheck-in
for rides to different terminals only once at the PGPuse of
PGP-areas to comply with break and rest periodsTerminal
gateBenefits for PGP-User e.g.PGP lane for preferred handling of
PGP users (fast lane)PGP lane also for other advance check-in
drivers

***This slide is just to show the diversity of the basic
conditions for heavy traffic in the Port of Hamburg.**We are also
thinking about the possibility of interchanging the container/goods
at the carpark from the truck to a train or other
alternative/innovative transport systems.In this case all trucks
would end at the PGP.**For example: Use for a break.**Trucks get
the advice to use the PGP becuase of disturbances.The sign shows
the predicted journey time to the several container terminals.
**This is the compulsive service, so everyone has to use the PGP
before entering the port area.*After having a look at the benefits
of the different strategies,the variant comparison showed us that
the variant B is the recommendable one.*For planning the Strategy
B, we need to have a look at:*Radius around Hamburg of approx. 50
km which means an one hour drive.*Shows how the search might look
like.The right picture shows the trucks per hour at the different
motorways to Hamburg.**Like a conventional Parking area except of
the advance check-in and some new options like secure parking
etc.!*The first point will be done in the next few weeks/month the
Innovative disturbance management will be in form of full digital
traffic signs to inform the drivers.*
