1 Digitisation of Inland Waterway Transport on Elbe River (Elbe 4.0) TEN-T Days Ljubljana Quelle: behala.de

2 // Digitisation is both: challenge and opportunity for the industry Starting point The transportation sector is facing fundamental changes The ongoing digitisation enables market entries for new competitors from outside the industry increases the need for established players to strengthen their innovativeness forces carriers to evaluate the digital potentials of their processes Inland waterway transportation is particularly affected by this development In my opinion digitisation means to make use of information technology consistency. Klaus-Michael Kühne If you digitise a bad process, you are going to end up with a bad digital process. Thorsten Dirks, CEO Telefónica Deutschland AG Hanseatic Transport Consultancy 2

3 // Current Status of Digitisation along Elbe River is inadequate ELWIS does not support optimised fairway use Elbe will become AIS ready not before 2018 HTC Hanseatic Transport Consultancy 3

4 // IT-Equipment of Elbe Fleet is Mostly Inadequate Type Length (in m) Width (in m) Capacity in t (max) SP 65 65,00 8, SP 65/9,5 65,00 9, SP 36/9,5 32,50 9, SP 36 32,50 8, TC ,00 10, TC ,50 9, GMS 67m 67,00 8, GMS 80m 80,00 8, GMS Labe 80,10 9, MN ,70 8, average age of the fleet (z. B. W. Lauk - 63 years) Laptop Telephone/Fax AIS Inland ECDIS Only bigger shipping companies have equipped their fleet systematically with Laptop- or Tablet-PCs Almost every inland shipper is equipped with telephone (cellphone), connection by fax becomes less important Almost every barge that is used within the Elbkorridor has AIS-equipment Only a few shipping companies have equipped their entire fleet with inland ECDIS (costs: up to EUR per unit) HTC Hanseatic Transport Consultancy 4

14 // Usage of sensors and data transmission Hanseatic Transport Consultancy 14

15 // Field of action 3: Autonomous Sailing partial automation full automation HTC Hanseatic Transport Consultancy 15

16 // Challenges of autonomous sailing bridge passage oncoming traffic following traffic locking current? sudden obstacles berthing track-keeping gauge level ship C weather traffic signals Current situation All of the tasks described above are conducted by the skipper of the vessel. The skipper s level of training and experience plays a key role for operating the vessel safely, assessing dangerous situations correctly and managing the route. It is necessary to integrate further technology - both ship and shore - in order to develop conventional ship operation towards autonomous driving. The basic technology that is needed to operate autonomous ships already largely exists. The challenge is to intelligently link these together supported by software components.

17 // Selected key factors on potential developments and applications Infrastructure Ship technology required components? HTC Hanseatic Transport Consultancy 17

18 // Requirements for autonomous ships (selected criteria) AIS to determine position Enable faster data communication Installation of anticipatory sensors to recognise objects Infrared systems and night vision devices with electronic evaluation Electric energy supply system for emergencies Dynamic-Positioning-System Dtecting of draft Technical equipment Monitoring the operating status Fire alarm and fire extinguishing systems Equipment with radar and ECDIS is not mandatory Possibility to take over control "remotely" (e.g. at lock entrance and exit, berthing) Transfer of decision-making authority to the control center Ship construction Adapt ship size to new transport tasks No accommodations for crew needed anymore No water production or storage needed anymore No bridge house needed, only emergency control New propulsion technology such as hybrid or purely electric New designs and materials Regardless of the size of the ship, today's vessels are hardly suitable for retrofitting HTC Hanseatic Transport Consultancy 18

19 3G-coverage in BB AIS-availiability in BB // Requirements for shore-side infrastructure (selection) Inland AIS - Landseitige Ausstattung WSD Ost Berliner Wasserstraßen Station Genthin, Ketzin, Charlottenburg Stand September 2012 AIS AIS equipment is mandatory for all vehicles > 20 m since end of 2016, but requires that AIS is installed and activated and the respective waterway is equipped accordingly. In order to increase precision and reliability, additional positioning is done via GPS (better Galileo) 3G+ Availability of a high-performance ICT infrastructure along the waterways is an important prerequisite for a stable and permanent data exchange. Of particular relevance here is the available mobile radio standard and thus the data rate.

In fully autonomous operation, relevant route information is already taken into account during planning and compared with the current status on board. der WSV für Verkehrstechniken November
