Issues Needs
HGV metering at Gotthard route
HGM Framework
Solutions Tech.

• Objective steady flow in tunnel
• keep Level of Service C/D
• avoid stop and go traffic (avoid LOS E/F)
• allow for HGV spacing 150 m
• Measures
• lt 1000 passenger car units (pcu) in merging area
  and in tunnel
• 1 HGV 3 pcu
• 1 2.5 HGV per min, depending on passenger cars
  traffic
• no more than 150 HGV/hr
• guarantee 60 HGV/hr in periods of high LV traffic
  for economic reasons

Road use tax (present)
HGV Maut (2004)
Perspectives

• taxation of road use , financing base for ASFINAG
• HGV gt 12 t admissible weight
• depending on NOx emission, duration of road
  use (calendar day/weeks/months/year)

• taxation of road use , financing base for ASFINAG
• HGV over 3.5t admissible weight
• depending on distance driven, number axles,
  driven route
• gt 4 axles night tariff more expensive

Trans-European Perspectives

• Heavy Goods Traffic will increase by 50 in 2010,
  if nothing is done
• De-regulation (EU) vs. regional constraints
• Interoperability
• Opening up to Eastern Europe carriers
  enlargement will generate an explosion in
  transport flows in the new Member States,
  particularly in the frontier regions
• Capacity vs. Increasing Demands
• Improve Air freight
• Promoting Inland waterway, short-sea shipping

• - Planned performance targets should be part of a
  trans-European heavy goods transport policy
• EC White Paper proposes measures for charging,
  revitalization of alternative modes to the road
  and targeted investment in the trans-European
  network
• - Integrated trans-European perspective mean
  technical, institutional and operational
  solutions at both the strategic and local levels
  in response to a common European transport policy

Conclusions

• Technology options are one part of the big
  picture
• Curbing the increase in travel demand through
  restrictive measures, coupled with infrastructure
  investments and technology-based options for
  safety and mobility, is the current regimen
• Optimizing traffic flows through automation of
  heavy goods transport logistics cycle and an
  upgraded harmonized transport and communication
  infrastructure offers high potential
