The route planning of trucks also includes the planning of the parking. Research has already shown that parking demands often exceed capacities. This problem can be managed by appropriate information provision. It is also discussed by European strategic documents, the ITS Directive and the ITS Action Plan, as a priority assignment. Advanced intelligent parking management systems for trucks, planned and partially installed ones, provide real-time information and central (system optimum based) navigation with automatic parking place booking. In this way, the capacity utilization of parking facilities can be maximized. Nowadays such complex systems are still not available, only some partfunctions, but modern information and communication technology offers new opportunities in transportation applications. The article classifies the parking information systems into five plus one (5+ 1) service levels according to their functions. On the highest service level, the information system offers individual route plans for every user while it takes drivers' working hours, actual traffic conditions and personal preferences into consideration. In the future, mobility and parking demands can be influenced by real-time and interactive information management.
