Safety, Welfare, Reliability And Efficiency In Logistics And Transport

Safety, welfare, reliability, and efficiency are four key concerns for anyone involved in transport and logistics.

Big data analysis of the data collected by Microlise demonstrates that the M6toll meets all expectations and makes sound financial sense for the industry.

The big data analysis scrutinised more than 240 million journeys featuring vehicles weighing 7.5 tonnes and demonstrates the benefits of using the M6toll over neighbouring major arterial routes.

Challenges in the Logistics and Transportation Sector

Critical issues for the logistics and transportation sectors include :

• Journey reliability
• Increasing congestion
• Financial cost of missed delivery slots can cost thousands of pounds and impact the supply chains, the client, the transport company, and the welfare of the drivers

Benefits of M6toll

Less Traffic Congestion

Because the M6toll is maintained to a high standard and designed to make entering and exiting the carriageway easier, traffic moves more steadily. Works and maintenance are also scheduled outside peak hours to minimise any disruption.

It has been demonstrated that less traffic congestion and higher reliability for free-flowing traffic improve the driver's experience and reduce the five behaviours, including harsh braking and abrupt turning, which can increase the risk of accidents.

Better Fuel Economy
