2 Introduction I 2 Demand for road freight is expected to grow by 55% in the period (midterm review of the European Commission s 2001 White Paper on Transport) Heavy good traffic (better: abnormal vehicle transport) grows by 2.8 % per year. What s abnormal? An abnormal transport is a transport of a vehicle or vehicle combination, having either no load or an indivisible load, which exceeds at least one authorized dimension or weight allowed in normal road traffic in EC partner state (Finnish definition from Tiehallinto s website). Consequences: Number of special permission by the national responsible authorities increase Each state has its own exceptive clauses, its own addresses, its own special application forms, mostly only in one language and its typical permit procedures. Crossing Europe with an abnormal transport is connected with a timeconsuming battle against paperwork (a bachelor degree for administrative regulations is helpful). Administration expenditure for handling grows dramatically. 2

3 Introduction II 3 What's necessary? simplification and harmonisation: lawyers work, no ITS-work better information and paperless applications ITS work (= MIP I + II) will be a central information platform about this topic for the Viking area. 3

4 Content & structure 4 Website framing: o static ranges for header with language choice English German Danish Norwegian Finnish Swedish o o o static range for imprint bar dynamic range for navigation and dynamic range for contents. navigation bar (dynamic) header (static) content zone (dynamic) imprint (static) 4

5 EC Directive 96/53/EC 5 Start: Council Directive 96/53/EC of 25 July 1996 contains for trucks, trucks with trailer and trucks with semi-trailer for free transport in Europe maximum dimensions maximum weights maximum maximum dimensions axle loads. in English Example: Example: maximum weights in Danish Example: maximum axle loads in Finnish 5

6 General specific national information 6 Swedish general regulations in German Norwegian general regulations in Finnish Finnish general regulations in Norwegian Danish general regulations in English German general regulations in English etc the EASYWAY for information 6

7 Test procedure / input 7 Is a permission needed or not? Example: truck with an ordinary trailer width 2.3 m overhang on each side of 15 cm height of 4.1 m length of = 19.5 m 7

8 Test procedure / results I 8 Yes, because...too long for Germany, Norway, Denmark, not for Finland and Sweden... too high for Germany, Norway, Denmark, not for Finland and Sweden... overhang in Sweden 8

9 Test procedure / results II 9 Yes, because and here the links to the application forms 9

14 Organisational issues 14 editor group for the contents = the responsible persons in each state for updates in regular intervals solved translator group for translations from each original language to all the others, using a translation interface solved for Viking validator group? not solved for a possible extension to all partners to validate the contens; debugging phase will be finished in Sepember 07 solved management & webmaster solved for pilotphase pilot is running 14

15 Vision & values 15 Vision? Yes: A comprehensive pan-european internet platform for the forwarding companies/hauliers first for information about the different rules and regulations; second and as a main objective target to establish a complete internet procedure with the components: Target: 2013 (+) online-input to the applications forms; treatment and permission in the background in national agencies within 24 hours; results (=permissions) are available in digital online-format for a ^paper-less transport^ (with an automatic transfer to the OBUs, if needed). Values? Yes: The regulations for abnomral transport become more clearly and more easily comparable. The permission procedures become more simple, substantially faster and substantially more economical. The overloading of the administration can be reduced. The good transport in the European market is facilitated. 15
