Optimisation of the workflow of such transports by the application of telematic systems

Galileo

Idea:Registration, control, monitoring and presentation of the positions of special transports by an online centre

Dangerous goods and extra heavy goods transport via the AlpsDangerous goods and extra heavy goods transport via the Alps

FIMSAA – Information and traffic concept for dangerous goods and heavy goods transports

more flexible managing of cross-border transports in case of deviation from the authorised route

Extra heavy goods and dangerous goods transports: Extra heavy goods and dangerous goods transports: approaches to optimisationapproaches to optimisation

- unification of authorisations / laws for all countries

- direct access to all data (centrally, online)

- paperless application by a central location (online)

- short and direct work flows

- special routing and pre-trip traffic management

- tracing and tracking and on-trip traffic management depending on the measurements of the heavy goods or on the dangerous goods and their amount

3 grades of heavy load

3 grades of danger

7


Actions for optimisation: examplesActions for optimisation: examples

Classification of the transports into 3 grades

Risk level 1 Risk level 2 Risk level 3

Transports with less sized exposure

Transports with normal exposure

Transports with high exposure

classification of dangerous goods transports

(Criteria: substance, the amount and the securing of the dangerous goods)

Heavy load transport level 1:



Transports with a mass only a little over the permitted one

Transports with a mass over level 1, but with a minimal obstruction of traffic

Transports with a high obstruction of traffic

-> according to endangering respectively obstruction of the traffic

classification of extra heavy goods transports

(Criteria: length, width, height, weight, axle load distribution and the stretch to travel on)

Tracing and tracking for relevant grades of transportoptions:- manual announcement of start und finish of the transport operation- automatic announcement of start und finish of the transport operation- automatic announcement at all relevant sites- continuous tracing and tracking

Locating within tunnels

10



Optimisation of tunnel accessesObjectives and advantages:

- Avoidance of delays at the tunnel entrance,

- Tracking of dangerous goods transports in tunnels,

- Automatic availability of required safety vehicles,

- Avoidance of two dangerous goods transports entering the tunnel at the same time

- Optimisation of tunnel safety by provision of tailored information for rescue forces and police

11



Implementation of an online centre- support of all relevant information (transalpine)- simplified processes- registration / authorisation of the transport- online routing - integrated pre-trip/ on-trip traffic management

Pre-Trip and On-Trip Traffic Management- special routing (intermodal)- transalpine traffic management- controlling and guiding of special transports

Example for on-trip management: organisation of tunnel access

- Half an hour before arriving at the tunnel entrance a message is sent automatically to the tunnel authority

- Check of the situation and, if necessary, preparation of accompanying vehicles by the tunnel authority

- the tunnel access will be processed smoothly and without delay of the transport

- increase of the safety by pre- and on-trip traffic management

- automated check and control of the tunnel to avoid simultaneous transport of indigestible substances

- tracking also in the tunnel (relevant in case of congestion or emergency)

Advantages of the Online CentresAdvantages of the Online Centres

- International tool allowing for seamless and fast transport planning across borders

- Adaptation to market demands,

- Reduction of bureaucratic workload,

- Better and faster information provision in case of emergencies,

- Bundled information – all necessary information found at one place,

- Time savings for all concerned parties,

- Cost savings,

- Improvement of safety and security,

- Less necessary controls.
