  4. BORDER WAITING TIMES

  5. Border Waiting Times Observatory

  6. New User Facilities Extendable to new countries, borders, border crossings and contributing associations

  7. Better geo-identification Maps completed with “E” road numbers Border crossings named on maps if pointed to • Data access: • Latest • After Jan 2004 • Before Jan 2004

  8. After January 2004 After January 2004 Country/border/type and direction of traffic freely selected Start and End date freely entered Bar or line charts and figures presented

  9. Before January 2004 Before January 2004 Historic graphs based on the system prior to January 2004

  10. Other Main Features • Waiting time entered directly by Association Contact Persons into data bank (routine control and manual intervention by IRU System Administrator); • System covers both trucks and coaches; • System combines data from “both sides” of border posts through selecting one of the data or average; • System can handle textual information on reasons for waiting times or short description of exceptional circumstances;

  11. Main Other Features 2 • Daily information is protected for Member Associations only; external users can consult data only up to end of last completed calendar year; • Statistics and graphs (bar or line charts) are generated by user according to period of interest; • System Administrator can extract data in Excel Tables for further data processing; • Data in the old system are introduced under static Historical Graphs linked to each border post.

  12. WHY TO MONITOR THE BORDER WAITING TIMES?

  13. Rationale • Any penalty on road transport is an even greater penalty on the economy • Waiting times at borders represent a general indicator of barriers • Waiting times at borders is a measurable indicator • A tool for route planning and for decision makers • IRU reporting system since early ‘90s • New interactive web application from 2006
