FUNCTIONAL DESIGN ELEMENTS FOR FERRY TERMINALS

The functional design of ferry terminals requires the exercise of a variety of skills and knowledge from such diverse areas as traffic engineering, pedestrian design, transit planning, and vessel operation. Specific types of ferry services are defined, and research findings are presented on how the terminal should be selected and the facilities planned to accommodate these services. For passenger-only ferry operations, planning guidelines are presented for passenger storage and processing facilities, including parking areas, waiting rooms, gangways, and other terminal elements. For vehicle-ferry terminals, guidelines are presented for toll facilities, vehicle sorting and holding areas, discharge demand needs, and other elements of vehicle-ferry terminals. (Author)
