Eurotunnel’s responsibilities. ◻ To provide traffic predictions sufficiently in advance to the UKBA. ◻ To provide information in real time in case of an incident i.e. where there is a risk that the shuttle cannot be fully loaded (e.g. when the timetable has to be adjusted at the last minute in the case of an incident and shuttles are leaving in ‘batteries’)
Eurotunnel’s responsibilities. ◻ To provide traffic predictions sufficiently in advance to the UKBA with an associated table recommending the number of lanes to open (see example below) Number of cars (hourly and daily) Number of lanes x 1 lane x 6 lanes x 8 lanes ◻ To provide information from real time traffic systems e.g. IRIS (e.g.: number of cars present between check-in and frontier controls, queuing times, comparison between expected and actual traffic). ◻ To manage the flow of traffic arriving at the UKBA controls ensuring that capacity to control within the agreed baselines is not compromised through unexpected surges. ◻ To provide “Coach Hall Agents” who will verify that no one remains in the coaches during UKBA controls. ◻ To provide information in real time in case of an incident i.e. where there is a risk that the shuttle cannot be fully loaded (e.g. when the timetable has to be adjusted at the last minute in the case of an incident and shuttles are leaving in ‘batteries’) ◻ The comply with the principles of the provision of transport of staff to and from the Coquelles controls as contained within the concession agreement (see Appendix 4) ◻ To provide priority travel procedures for the transfer of arrested persons to the UK (see “Code Red” arrangements separately annexed)
Eurotunnel’s responsibilities. ◻ To provide traffic predictions sufficiently in advance to the UKBA with an associated table recommending the number of lanes to open (see example below) Volume of lorries No of open lanes < 85 lorries per hour 1 lane < 170 lorries per hour 2 lanes < 255 lorries per hour 3 lanes ◻ To voluntarily provide information from real time traffic systems e.g. Rolling Road, IRIS, (queuing times). ◻ To provide information in real time in case of an incident i.e. where there is a risk that the shuttle cannot be fully loaded (e.g. when the timetable has to be adjusted at the last minute in the case of an incident and shuttles are leaving in ‘batteries’) ◻ The comply with the principles of the provision of transport of staff to and from the Coquelles controls as contained within the concession agreement (see Appendix 4) ◻ To provide priority travel procedures for the transfer of arrested persons to the UK (see “Code Red” arrangements separately annexed) and associated seized vehicles. ◻ To pass on information on the volume of vehicles waiting before reaching the control area using data from the IRIS project ◻ To provide traffic management systems to enable vehicles to reach secondary activity areas safely.
