Voyage and Traffic Planning Services and the relevancy

Voyage and Traffic Planning Services and the relevancy of AIS • The Objective • The Concept • The Traffic Prediction Model • The Information Exchange • The experiments • Conclusions Ensys bv Netherlands Rolf Hommes Ensys bv 1

THE OBJECTIVE Development of a Traffic Prediction Model to: 1. Enhance reliability of Expected Time of Arrivals (ETA) 2. Enhance efficiency of lock and bride operations Use RIS Key Technologies & standards : Ensys bv Netherlands 2

Route Calculation Model THE CONCEPT Micro Simulation Non Guillotine Model Ensys bv Netherlands 3

THE TRAFFIC PREDICTION MODEL Voyage plans Cargo info Ship characteristics Waterway characteristics Lock/bridge specifics Micro Simulation AIS positions (3 min cycle) Predicted Positions Predicted Traffic Density ETA’s Locks Bridges Non Guillotine Optimalization Model Ensys bv Netherlands Real-time Lock/bridge status ETA’s Terminals Optimalization strategy by operator 4

THE INFORMATION EXCHANGE [1] Voyage plan of complete voyage VOY message [5] Object departure Voyage plan [2] Information (update of voyage plan if required) [3] Planning info lock schedule based on ETA [4] Final lock schedule [7] Arrival INFO message Terminal ATD RTA message [6] Underway modifications INV message ATA lock Ensys bv Netherlands Lock ATD lock Terminal ATA Terminal 5

THE EXPERIMENTS Involved: • 100 ships • 10 locks • 2 VTS Ensys bv Netherlands 6

CONCLUSIONS Potential recognized for: • More throughput capability fairways/locks • Fuel reduction • Reliability of arrival (JIT) • Enhanced terminal planning Follow-up: • Shipping organizations requested further development • European project CORISMA Ensys bv Netherlands Cooperative Integrated Ship-Shore System ! 7
