Case Study: Port of Tallinn achieves faster, more efficient passenger flow with Hansab's Smart Port traffic management system

Traffic Management System in Port of Tallinn

Port of Tallinn, operator of the busy Old City Harbour passenger terminals in Estonia, needed a faster and more efficient way to manage vehicle check-in, pre-check-in, and line flow for multiple ferry operators. The challenge was to reduce waiting times, improve traffic organization, and handle large volumes of cars and trucks more smoothly across the A-, B- and D-terminals.

Hansab implemented the Smart Port traffic management system, a solution based on vehicle license plate identification, automated weighing and measurement, and barrier-controlled guidance with LED displays. The system automatically checks bookings and directs vehicles into the correct loading order, helping speed up check-in and vessel loading, reduce staffing needs at kiosks and guide points, improve dock space usage, and cut vehicle idling and environmental impact. Hansab also planned a similar rollout for the D-terminal.
