Bundestestfeld PWC Gelbelsee in Bayern: Einheitliches Prüfverfahren für Systeme zur flächenhaften Parkplatzbelegungserfassung auf Rastanlagen

Abstract

Due to the increasing amount of freight traffic on German motorways there is an increasing demand for parking facilities for trucks at motorways. In addition to the long-term expansion of the capacity of parking facilities, potentials for improving the situation for truck parking are seen in using telematic parking guidance systems. A requirement for such a parking guidance system is an effective and reliable detection of the occupancy of the parking facilities. So far, there is no testing procedure for systems for the area-wide detection of parking occupancy uniformly and in a comparable manner. For this purpose, functional criteria for a detection system with areawide detection have been compiled in the working group “Lkw-PLS” consisting of representatives of national and federal road authorities. As part of the Research and Development project “Scientific monitoring of the digital test field on the A 9 between Munich and Nuremberg”, a uniform procedure for functional and suitability testing of these criteria was developed at the Federal Test Field PWC Gelbelsee-West. This testing procedure shall be used as a basis for future tenders for parking detection systems on parking facilities at motorways. The procedure has been subjected to a practical test and has been released for use in official testing.
