Currently, ports lack dedicated truck parking spaces, leading to illegal parking and increased traffic accident risks. Due to the need to supply asphalt-paved parking lots exclusively for cargo vehicles, previous studies have proposed classification methods considering one entire target on the 14 national trade ports each. However, the existing port classification method targeting the entire port has a problem. When designing the wharf of a new port step by step, the asphalt-paved parking lot may be designed either undersized or oversized after surveying similar facilities. Therefore, to design the asphalt-paved parking lot exclusively for cargo vehicles through an appropriate survey of similar facilities, this study conducted data analysis to develop a new port classification method for referring to similar facilities when designing the wharf of a new port. This study aims to analyze the limitations of existing entire–port standard classification methods by analyzing data from 380 wharves based on four port-specific factors: quay length, yard area, berthing capacity, and cargo handling capacity. Port Wharves were classified using the mean and standard deviation quality control concept.
