Estimates of marginal cost savings for Intelligent Truck Parking Services in a combined deployment scenario Mbiydzenyuy, Gideon ; Persson, Jan A ; Davidsson, Paul ; Troeng, Ulf

By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Dublin ITS Ireland, 2013Description: 15 sSubject(s): Online resources: Notes: Konferens: 9th European Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Congress, 2013, Dublin Abstract: Intelligent Truck Parking (ITP) involves efficient management of information as a tool for addressing some of the problems related to truck parking, such as, the inability to navigate to, or reserve a parking space. Different telematic services (ITP core services) may be required to address different stakeholder needs, e.g., a navigation service for finding the way to a truck parking area, and a reservation service for assuring the availability of a parking space when in the parking area. In addition to ITP core services, there are several other telematic services that address transport problems in general. If the synergies of different services are taken into account during design and deployment of telematic services, cost reduction may be achieved through functionality sharing. In this article, we have identified services that are relevant for sharing functionalities with ITP core services, estimate functionality costs and perform a synergy analysis to assess the marginal cost savings as a result. Overall results indicates that Traffic Information Broadcasting (TIB), Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for goods, and Geo-fencing (GEO) can form clusters with ITP core services that could lead to better cost savings compared to the rest of the services studied.
