Final report
Publikationens metadata
This study addresses the critical need for Safe and Secure Parking Areas (SSPAs) for professional drivers across the European Union, focusing on their availability, security standards, and development potential. The research highlights persistent challenges in the road transport sector, including driver shortages, inadequate parking infrastructure, and security concerns, which hinder the sector’s operational efficiency and driver well-being. The EU road transport sector is essential for economic integration but faces mounting pressures from regulatory, social, and technological changes. Key drivers include the European Green Deal, technological advancements like digital tachographs, and evolving labour dynamics. Current gaps in secure parking infrastructure pose risks to drivers’ safety, cargo security, and compliance with mandated rest periods. Consultations with industry stakeholders underscored the need for standardized security certification, better parking management, and increased funding for facility upgrades. However, while safety and security are widely recognised as essential across EU parking areas, this study does not determine whether need directly translates into utilisation. Further examination is required to distinguish perceived necessity from the willingness to use certified parking areas.
