Digital Road Administration - Galenstraat
Description
-
In the Jan van Galenstraat a bottleneck has arisen during loading and unloading at a large food centre. The problem is due to lack of parking space, lorries continue to drive around the neighbourhood until a spot is released.
Objective
-
The Digital Road Authority, a collaborative project of, among others, the Traffic and Transport Infrastructure Department (DIVV) of the City of Amsterdam, Amsterdam Smart City and Traffic Link, combines traffic data from various government and market parties. The Digital Road Administrator therefore knows when which loading and unloading space is free.
-
Creating a mobile application to indicate the drivers about the vacant spot beforehand. Thereby reducing search traffic which improves air quality and safety in the neighbourhood.
Project Input
-
An application (mobile/dashboard) is created and real time information about the parking spaces are given in the application. Along with that the truck driver can book a parking spot for required amount of time for loading and unloading purposes.
Requirements
-
Drivers ability to adapt to the system.
-
Local laws, drivers and fleet owner’s acceptance.
-
Dedicated application for booking or viewing the possible times slots available.
Project result
-
A dedicated mobile application was created
-
Traffic congestion due to trucks around has Galenstraat has reduced.
