1 e-navigation and it s applicability to inland waterways Brian Tetreault U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ERDC Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory

2 e-navigation International definition (IMO, IALA): e-navigation is the harmonised collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information onboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth to berth navigation and related services, for safety and security at sea and protection of the marine environment

3 Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-nav 140 on e-navigation Architecture the shore perspective

4 e-navigation: three sides of the coin Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-nav 140 on e-navigation Architecture the shore perspective

5 e-navigation issues Internationally developed very SOLAS focused Naturally ship-centric blue-water vs. inland waterways Still conceptual IMO implementation plan: Identify user needs Develop an e-navigation architecture Complete studies: gap analysis, cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis Plan to be finalized in 2012 National vs. international interests, capabilities, authorities, etc. Technical issues How do we address these? How can we start to get the benefits of e-nav sooner?

6 U.S. National e-navigation Strategy Strategic Action Plan Committee on the Marine Transportation System Concrete efforts Based on existing systems To address existing needs

7 e-navigation: U.S. e-navigation Strategic Action Plan The U.S. vision for e-navigation is: To establish a framework that enables the transfer of data between and among ships and shore facilities, and that integrates and transforms that data into decision and action information.

10 Summary e-navigation is a developing concept There are huge potential benefits, but some issues Third side of the coin e-navigation will be built on existing capabilities let s get started!

13 RIS concept RIS-related projects LOMA Current capabilities Future capabilities Overview

14 Main functions of RIS Waterway infrastructure information IENCs Met-Hydro data (obs. & forecasts) Navigation Notices/Notices to Mariners Vessel traffic information Traffic monitoring Traffic management (lock management) Calamity management Voyage information Electronic cargo Voyage planning

15 U.S. RIS concept USCG Vessel data USCG AIS Other agencies data RIS Portal Industry voyage data One-time, standardized reporting USACE lock operations data USACE AIS Correlated data: - Dangerous cargo tracking - Waterway statistics - Value added services - Need to address data protection

16 Lock & waterway info from USACE Vessel info: -AIS -USCG Barge/Car go info from industry

17 RIS-related projects FILS-FINDE Data standards and sharing USCG Louisville testbed Use USCG AIS capability to transmit USACE lock operations data Initial data sharing efforts USCG AVIS information LOMA initial RIS foundation

18 Google U.S. Inland Waterways lock locations

19 Lock Operations Management Application (LOMA) Provide end users information needed for decision support Goals: Increase lock operator situational awareness Provide vessel operators better information Provide better information to Corps management Exchange information with external users AIS is the central LOMA technology

20 Automatic Identification System (AIS) Ship - Ship Situational Awareness Ship - Shore Monitoring, reporting Shore Ship Navigation info. Station Ashore

21 Current situation 5 screens no situational display of approaching vessels Manual entry of statistical data

22 LOMA overview USCG data capabilities: AIS archive, validation, etc. USCG Internal applications: LPMS/OMNI CPT Other apps Internal and external Navigation data sources: Met/hydro Commodity Voyage plans Other Industry AIS aboard vessels AIS Service Manager Data Storage Internal/Exte rnal web access Web Services: XML, RSS, etc. Public Lock Operator GUI Other Gov t agencies

23 Current LOMA Capabilities Lock operator situational display AIS vessel information Zone management Playback capability

24 Better planning Current LOMA benefits Advance knowledge of vessel traffic Reduced equipment cycling Unexpected benefits Clearance of debris/drift/ice

25 Future Capabilities Integration with other systems Channel Portfolio Tool SMARTGate Industry data Approaching tow information Real time met/hydro information Sensors Observations Predictions

26 Future Capabilities: Predictive tools Hydrodynamic modeling Historical observations and analysis Transit time Long term predictions, for waterway managers and industry System optimization Maximize throughput Emergency prioritization

27 Where do we stand? AIS USCG Nationwide AIS, LOMA IENCs US Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA Notices to Skippers Initial harmonization work underway Electronic voyage reporting Initial discussions underway
