Effective Freight Parking

Built for freight plans and everything after—Power smarter corridor planning with scalable, vehicle-classified insights.

Parking solutions that deliver

Freight planners are under increasing pressure to deliver safe, federally aligned truck parking plans—especially with BIL/NHFP mandates now requiring documented demand and capacity gaps. Altitude’s Stop Analytics module, now with Hourly Parking Events, reveals how long trucks remain at a location after arrival—so planners can measure true parking demand, spot unmet needs and confidently justify investments in public and private infrastructure.

An aerial view of a truck rest area near a highway, surrounded by green fields and trees. Multiple semi-trucks with trailers are parked in an organized layout, with red, white, and blue truck cabs visible. The adjacent highway has vehicles traveling in both directions, with a few overpasses in the distance.

Build data-backed truck parking strategies

Analyze truck movements and stops at approved and unapproved locations to verify safe rest areas are where they are needed most, helping operators comply with Hours of Service (HOS) regulations.

Hourly Parking Events track whether trucks remain parked at a location over time—giving planners a clear signal of actual parking demand vs. arrival counts alone.

Identify where and when capacity is maxed out using hourly, daily and seasonal trends. Analyze stops by zone, road segment or custom region to plan rest area upgrades and public-private expansions.

 

Visualize both approved and roadside stops to uncover where unsafe, non-compliant parking is occurring—and make the case for new sites aligned to Hours of Service (HOS) requirements.

See where trucks dwell long enough to support electrification and refueling infrastructure planning—especially valuable for State DOTs advancing EV corridor strategies.

 

Analyze parking data by truck class, vocation, fuel type and industry—giving planners a more complete picture of which vehicles are parking, for how long and why.
