Kanazawa Port was chosen as the base port on the Sea of Japan side in 2011. Since then, the number of cruise ships calling at the port has increased. Due to the increase in the number of port calls, many tourists are visiting Kanazawa. On the other hand, around Kanazawa Port, trailer bus for the sightseeing and vehicles such as spectators are concentrated. Therefore, traffic congestion is a concern.
The purpose of this research is to quantitatively understand the influence on road traffic. Therefore, the time reliability index was calculated using the route information and travel time information obtained from the ETC2.0 probe information. The time reliability index was calculated in three cases: the day of the holiday, morning on weekdays, and evening on weekdays. As a result, in all cases, there was a section with reduced time reliability on the day when the cruise ship called. Especially on weekday evenings, the time reliability was significantly lower than in other cases. It was revealed that the call at a port of the Cruise ship had a big influence on traffic of the evening on weekdays.
