Results from CEDR-Work Done Around Intelligent Access
摘要
The working group Road Freight Transport in CEDR (Conference of European Directors of Roads) performs different tasks. One is about Intelligent Access, later only referred to as IA. The used definition of IA is to ensure “the right vehicle on the right road at the right time with the right weight”. The goal for the work is to collect best practice of IA and recommendations for implementation. IA is a rather new concept in Europe but has been used in Australia for more than 15 years (TCA 2018). Conclusions from the work so far are. A survey and in-depth interviews show that National Road Authorities sees the concept of IA as something with many possibilities. Using IA as an enforcement tool is the most obvious interpretation of the concept and when scaling up also other opportunities become visible, such as better coordination of traffic and logistics, better use of infrastructure, control of emission zones, monitoring of abnormal transport and transport of dangerous goods. This gives possibilities for almost all stakeholders and therefore also for society. In this way, can also NRAs improve the quality of their services. The example from Italy, there you use IA for abnormal transports, shows a use case that give benefits to all involved and showing benefits and/or incentives for all involved will be important for the implementation of IA.
