TRUCK PARKING
Description
Goods vehicle drivers and dispatchers need information on fuel stations and rest areas on their route both before and during their trip. This basic freight traffic need can be covered by Intelligent Truck Parking (ITP) Services, which produce and distribute static and dynamic information on the truck parking situation on the motorway networks and access roads.
Thus the management of parking spaces and the observation of rest and driving periods for drivers are supported resulting in the reduction of dangerous parking and in the improvement of drivers, load and goods vehicle safety and security. The information could be provided on-trip and pre-trip using different channels of information and different end-user devices.
