STUDY CARRIED OUT ON THE SOGARIS LOGISTICS PLATFORM IN RUNGIS

A study was carried out on the SOGARIS logistics platform at Rungis (190,000 m2, opened in 1967). Mobility by Colas, along with its partners AXIMUM and Covadis, responded to SOGARIS' needs in terms of analysing mobility flows, diagnosing roadways and ensuring the safety of user flows.

 

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES

With 80 tenants and 2,000 jobs, SOGARIS wants to modernise and secure the platform. Thousands of lorries pass through the platform every day, raising questions about safety, security and flow management. Mobility by Colas and its subcontractors had to respond to the needs expressed:

  • A proposal for the implementation of an entry flow control system
  • Reducing the impact of the platform's activity on traffic in the surrounding area
  • Diagnosis and recommendations for pavement repairs
  • Study of traffic flows and safety measures, particularly for pedestrians
  • Optimising parking on the platform

 

STUDIES CARRIED OUT

Study to make traffic flows safer
  • Safety diagnosis: collection and cross-referencing of cartographic and historical data; on-site observations under different conditions and configurations.
  • Recommendations for prioritised actions integrated into chronological scenarios: summary map, plans and associated actions, illustrations of renderings.
Diagnostic study of the condition of pavements and car parks
  • Deterioration survey: inspection of pavements and car parks, notations based on the condition observed, and mapping / distribution.
  • Structural Homogeneous Zones: division of the linear route into structural homogeneous zones.
  • Guidelines for maintenance solutions: proposed work by section with associated financial estimate.
Traffic study and feasibility of a flow-smoothing solution coupled with access control
  • Analysis of existing traffic: collection and examination of existing and new traffic data.

  • Recommendations for access control: definition of target capacity and possible configurations

  • Discussions with the main users: collection of expectations, constraints and facilities from the main stakeholders.

  • Recommendations for implementing access control in conjunction with flow regulation: definition of objectives, resources and prerequisites.

 

SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS FOLLOWING THE STUDIES

Condition of pavements and car parks: a detailed report was produced following this study, with guidelines for the work to be carried out and a macro-costing. Safety: minor modifications (markings, signage, etc.) can be tested temporarily to validate permanent arrangements at a later date.

 

Flow management: in line with the security recommendations, recommendation of a suitable solution for smoothing incoming flows, based on a flow coordination and regulation solution, such as QIEVO.
