Port access & operations
The access route between the port and the center
This view shows a potential access route between the King Abdulaziz Port area and the Truck Services Center for trucks specifically routed to services, holding, or marshalling.
Assigned truck arrival
Only trucks routed for service, holding, or marshalling enter the managed lane.
Gate and weighing
ANPR, appointment validation, and axle-load capture before yard routing.
Marshalling dispatch
Eligible vehicles are directed to holding, service, or exit paths by operational status.
Internal circulation loop
Internal movement separates parking, fuel, workshop, tyre, and wash traffic.
Close access link, not all port traffic
Additional operational elements
Internal yard movement
A clear internal flow for trucks routed into the center
The internal movement logic only — entry through the gate, a dispatch decision at the front apron, one-way circulation around the parking field, and a separate service spur returning to exit. Pick a route to isolate it.
Routes show conceptual circulation logic, not final traffic engineering, signalization, or lane marking design.
Technology & integration
Built on the port’s own systems — not a parallel one
Every function runs through Elm’s existing platforms. Trucks are recognised, verified and dispatched electronically — from the gate to departure.
- FASAH FASAH single window
Reception, appointments and smart gates run on FASAH and the Truck Management System already deployed at the port.
- Wasl Wasl pre-clearance
Driver and vehicle verified before the gate, so processing time at the barrier is minimal.
- Tabadul Tabadul control link
Central control room connected to the Port Community System, with reporting to the port authorities.
- ANPR + CCTV ANPR & 24/7 CCTV
Automatic plate recognition matches each truck to its appointment and container; full-yard monitoring around the clock.
Compliance
Weighed on the way in
Integrated weighbridges capture every routed truck’s axle loads before it reaches the yard.
