Oakland, Calif. – May 18, 2016: A groundbreaking mobile phone app developed for the Port of Oakland to aid harbor truckers is now live. The Port said today its DrayQ feature is available at Apple and Google app stores with no charge. The app tells drivers how long they’ll wait to enter marine terminal gates and how long transactions are taking.

The Port said DrayQ will display how long it takes to enter terminal gates. It will also calculate how long drivers must wait to complete transactions. The times will appear on mobile phone screens much like freeway drive-time signboards.

The Port said its new technology could fundamentally change seaport operations in two ways:

For the first time, truckers and dispatchers will have a precise measure of how long a terminal transaction takes. If it’s too long, drivers can plan around slow periods.

Cargo owners and terminal operators will now have accurate data to determine if containerized shipments are being efficiently processed. If they’re not, the data can help pinpoint where operational changes are needed.

DrayQ relies on Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi technology to measure truckers’ progress through the Port. Automated DrayQ readers anonymously track every truck in the Port whose driver carries a cell phone. Leidos officials are at marine terminals today introducing harbor truckers to the app. They said their goal is to have 3,000 drivers download it by June.
