The system consists of: • License plate recognition-solution • Automated pre-gate and check-in procedures • Automated traffic-flow management at the port • Information displays • Ticketing system
Benefits for the port • Efficient use of the port area • Shorter time spent to load and unload the vehicles to the ship • Efficient use of the vehicle check-in points • Less „useless“ time for passenger to spend on the port area • Clear traffic management at the port
The Story of The Smart Port During recent years, the number of passengers traveling by water has increased, however the capacity of the port area has stayed the same. Busier traffic at ports created a challenge to provide a highquality service for the port customers. Many of the ports are no longer able to expand horizontally due to the physical limitations. Tallinn port needed to maximize throughput, while ensuring convenient travel experience for the passengers. Together, we wanted to build a port, which not only provides a more convenient experience for traveling but as well ensures that the port and the port’s largest customers are accommodated.

An intelligent traffic-flow management system for managing car flows
What is Smart Port? Smart Port is an intelligent traffic-flow management system for pre-check-in, check-in, and line management for ports. The solution provides an easy to understand service by automation of the vehicle traffic, also shortens the time that cars spend on port premises. The Smart Port Solution incorporates a unique, automatic check-in system with a licence plate recognition solution for passengers with vehicles. The new solution encompasses the entire travel process, starting from the online pre-registration to the automated check-in procedures, fully automatic traffic management at the port, right up to boarding the ship. Smart Port system is based on vehicle license plate recognition and consists of 3 key elements: pre-gate, check-in and the gathering area.
Possible applications This unique concept of automated systems is meant to manage cargo and passenger car flows in ports, railway stations, in large logistic hubs, or in border stations. The technology is easily scalable from small to large and sophisticated systems.
The goals are: • To minimize the time spent in the port by providing a fully integrated and all-inclusive, easy to understand service for passengers with vehicles • To simplify and accelerate check-in process • To shorten check-in time for the vehicles • To better utilise the port area • To increase staff efficiency
