RISING key-facts

9-10 May, Delft - NL page 3RISING - Oliver Klein

• approx. 42 000 km European inland waterways

• Modal share:– EU-27: 6%– NL: 35%– DE: 12%

• IWT has become an integral part of co-modal transport and logistics chains

Source: European Union/Eurostat (2008)

Inland Waterway Transport (IWT)


• Introduced by the EU (RIS Directive 2005/44/EC) providing minimum requirements to enable cross-border compatibility of national systems

• Typical users– Authorities– Calamity centres– Skippers

• Use of ICT to– Improve reliability & efficiency– Increase safety– Provide traffic information– Optimise economic capabilities

• European standard Intelligent Transport System (ITS) implementation in inland navigation[like eSafety, ERTMS, SafeSeaNet, SESAR in other modes]

River Information Services in Europe


• Exploitation of RIS for logistics purposes

• Extend types of users– Fleet Managers– Ports & Terminals– Logistic Service

Providers

• Enhance existing services• Develop new services• Harmonisation of message formats

and service provisioning

IWT Prerequisites


Planning“ensuring validity”

Voyage Plan• cargo• origin/ETD• waypoints /ETA+ETD• destination/ETA• vessel• draught• …

Execution“facilitating transparency”

RIS• AIS/position data• fairway & traffic, water levels

Terminals• cargo availability• customs / carrier release• berthing time confirmation• cargo handling

Scenario of IWT Events


• Vessel arrived • Container

discharged• Container

released

• Vessel arrival delayed• Container not on board• Container not discharged• Container not released• Container damaged• Container length, weight wrong• Dangerous goods data wrong

• Fairway blocked• Congestion

• Discharge completed• Barge departed in time

• Berthing plan postponed

• Lock chamber closed

• Water level too low

• Bridge clearance too low

• Barge arrived in time• Post haulage as planned

• Concept based on SCEM (Supply Chain Event Management)

• Proactive monitoring of the transport chain– What is an Event? Significant change in State– Reality vs. Expectation Specifying deviation– Detect impact on subsequent execution analysing deviation

(e.g. recalculate time of arrival)

• Considering different types of Events – Expected “normal” events– Unexpected deviations of normal events (e.g. delays)– Unpredicted “abnormal” events (e.g. fairway blockage)

• Specification of response patterns (e.g. adapt speed)

SCEM for IWT


• Automatic monitoring and detection of ...• Deviations from plans: – Transport: Voyage Planning

• a-priori: position and availability of vessels• ETD,ATD (waypoint, origin)• ETA, ATA (waypoint, destination)• NtS (fairway and traffic related, locks, water levels, obstructions)• RTA (at terminals)

– Transhipment facilities: [Resource|Berth] Planning• vessel ETA, ATA announcements (at terminal)• RTA announcements• cargo (quantity and stowage)• crane and staff availability

IWT Monitoring Requirements


• (EDA) denotes an architectural style• Facilitates simple integration of existing systems• Publish/Subscribe messaging paradigm– senders (publishers) – receivers (subscribers)

• Published messages= Events with a dynamic set of receivers

• Subscriptions= “persistent queries” with deferred results

→Reduction of information overload & bandwidth

Event driven IWT Applications


• Integrated or linked to operational River Information Services or transport/terminal information sources

• Information domain specific (e.g. position, ETA, lock status, water-level, etc.)

• Event Service Module (ESM)– Receive subscriptions– Receive and store raw data

from external sensors /applications (data sources)

– Filter (process) raw data to produce relevant events according to individual subscriptions

– Publish events to subscribers

Demonstration Case Goals


Berth & Terminal Planning

• Reduce waiting times at terminals

• Reduce congestion• Optimize terminal

resource management

Transport Planning

• Optimize fleet utilisation

• Reduce fuel consumption

• Promote IWT as transport alternative

Transport Monitoring

• Increase transparency• Detect deviations

earlier• Increase reliability

IWT has become an integral part of the intermodal transport chains. As such it has to comply with requirements of supply chain management.

• Enable easy integration of RIS data into transport management software

• Achieve easy accessibility to RIS information• Limit mass of information: filter only relevant data• Receive more frequent accurate information from vessels & skippers• Decrease manual reporting efforts

RISING services aid monitoring of ongoing transports by– providing a harmonized set of event services for all RIS transport and

terminal related information– providing a harmonized subscription mechanism for these events

facilitating the easy integration into ERP systems
