The gathering effect of trucks at freight terminals and the high emission characteristics of trucks themselves lead to long-term truck queues and serious environmental pollution problems at freight terminals. Repeated stopping and following trucks aggravate the environmental pollution in the terminal. This paper proposes a scheme to plan truck parking spaces during waiting for trucks to enter the freight terminal in order to reduce the repeated stopping of trucks and to quantify the environmental benefits of truck parking spaces in the process. The truck admission process was simulated using the Visual Simulator (VISSIM). The simulation output provided vehicle operating data that was converted into operating mode distribution data using the Python calculation module. Then, the model parameters, including the operating mode distribution, were entered into the Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) to calculate the simulation scenario. Gangchen Logistics Park, for example, statistics of the park's 10 months of freight data, the design of freight volume gradually increased by 11 groups of admission simulation experiments, the simulation learned that the park queuing significant, more than 90% probability of queuing, queuing up to a maximum of 203 vehicles, the average queue of 61 vehicles. Then according to the actual road conditions in the park, add a parking lot in the VISSIM simulation. Signal sensing is realized by calling the COM interface of VISSIM through Python to guide the vehicles to park in order and enter the park. Eleven sets of simulation control experiments after designing and planning parking spaces are designed to calculate the pollutant emissions for each simulation scenario separately. The analysis of the emission measurement results shows that the emissions of CO, HC, NOX, and PM10 can be reduced by 1.90%, 7.90%, 9.42%, and 10.55% at the average level of the park's cargo volume. At the park's maximum cargo volume, it is possible to reduce HC, NOX, and PM10 emissions by about one-third. Truck parking space in the truck waiting to drive into the freight terminal process has obvious environmental benefits, queuing significant freight terminals should be reasonably planned truck parking spaces to reduce the freight terminal exhaust emissions pollution.
