in railways a voie de débord is a loading and unloading siding so perhaps here it's a loading and unloading platform or hub ?

Context A list related to trasport does not give much in the form of context. If there are headings, it would help to indiacte which one this comes under. If not, and in any event, i t may help to know what precedes and what follows in your list.
Trnaslating lists can be tough as it often boils down to a list of near-contextless terms. However, bear in mind that we have less context than you, so we need perhaps a little more!

débordement Have you tried looking for "plateforme de débordement"? I suspect it has been shorteneed for practical reasons, fitting it into a space on a spreadsheet, for example.
