    When their time arrives, they leave their parking slot and are automatically booked out of the zone via OCR (Number plate recognition cameras) technology as they join the convoy to the docks to catch their vessel. OCR at the dock gates confirms the right vehicle has turned up at the right time for the right sailing and lifts the barrier, with unconfirmed/booked vehicles being turned round on a 'feeder loop' and redirected back to the zone to get properly booked in. Of course, I simplify.

    Pre-empted my question there Neil which was what would happen when a driver pretends to play dumb and try to jump the queue. The system you describe sounds like the full answer to Dover's needs hopefully someone will grasp the nettle and implement it.
