RIS development in the United States Brian J. TETREAULT – US Army Corps of Engineers Juergen TROEGL – via donau September 19, 2017 Page 1

AGENDA Introduction Status of RIS in the U.S. Challenges of RIS in the U.S. Potential for RIS Corridor Management Proposed next steps

Introduction – US RIS environment No single “RIS Authority” Different US agencies have roles USACE and USCG primary Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS) RIS seen as part of e-Navigation Embedded in standard tasks – no dedicated framework for RIS implementation Many existing capabilities – need to accommodate and build on them

Some existing US RIS & e-Nav capabilities Coastal Applications & Services Hydrographic Surveys River Information Services Inland Electronic Navigation Charts (IENC) Navigation Data Center Coastal Structures Management, Analysis, and Ranking Tool Maritime Safety Information Notice to Mariners VTS AIS Channel Portfolio Tool Real Time Current Velocities PORTS Hydrodynamic Models Helm Modernization NOAA Tide Gages Cargo Manifest USGS Stream Gages Met/hydro observations USACE Tide Gages USCG Western Rivers AtoN Lock Operations Management Application Data Standards Electronic Charts

US RIS implementation Build on existing capabilities US capabilities that provide RIS Key Technologies Alignment with e-Navigation Strategic Action Plan Start providing services What’s available: Lock information, water levels, met/hydro observations and forecasts, etc. AIS, web services Run related projects Establish test beds Cooperate in international developments

Inland Electronic Navigational Charts RIS Key Technology: Inland ECDIS

Marine Safety Information RIS Key Technology: Notices to Skippers

LOMA: AIS-enabled lock management RIS Key Technology: Vessel tracking and tracing

USCG NAIS & USACE LOMA AIS coverage RIS Key Technology: Vessel tracking and tracing

US RIS capabilities

Developing Capabilities Vessel time travel analysis AIS transmit capability River Information Services Enterprise (RISE) framework Industry electronic reporting portal eHydro Lock approach current model information Corridor management

CHALLENGES OF RIS IN THE U.S. Absence of a RIS governance structure Lack of a single RIS authority Absence of harmonized location codes Absence of Electronic Reporting services De-centralized Fairway Information Services Divided roles and responsibilities within USACE and with other agencies No agreed standards for all RIS key-technologies Current capabilities are not designed to be interoperable (Stovepipes/firewalls)

POTENTIAL FOR RIS CORRIDOR MGMT. Services that are based on the principles of RIS Corridor Management Nation-wide FIS ETA service Voyage planning service Lock management “Single Window“ electronic reporting “Industry Portal”

POTENTIAL FOR RIS CORRIDOR MGMT. Example: Electronic Reporting service

PROPOSED NEXT STEPS Overview: RIS governance structure Legal basis for RIS Technical recommendations for implementation

Proposed US RIS governance Inland Marine Transportation System (IMTS) Navigation Community of Practice IMTS RIS TEAM KEY EXECUTIVES GROUP TECHNOLOGY & SERVICES GROUP Marine Industry AWO; RIETF; Shippers Assns.; Terminal Operators; Port Authorities; Recreational Users; Towing Companies OTHER AGENCIES ABS; CMTS; USCG; USGS; NWS; USACE HQ; LRD; MVD; NWD; SAD; NAD; LRP; MVR; SAM; State and Federal Agencies ABS; CMTS; USCG; USGS; NWS; DHS; DOE; CBP; IRS; WASA Authorities; ORSANCO CENTERS OF EXPERTISE ERDC; IWR; INDC; MDC; RMC ACADEMIA Rahall Institute; PIANC; SAME; SNAME Marine Industry

Legal basis for RIS – possible elements: Goals of RIS implementation in the US Minimum RIS portfolio which is considered necessary Implementation priorities Technical standards/formats Funding for the implementation and operation of RIS Inter-agency agreements for joint responsibilities Provisions regarding sharing of data between governmental users and with private stakeholders

PROPOSED NEXT STEPS Technical recommendations – priorities:

CONCLUSIONS Implementation of RIS in the U.S. is advanced Large portfolio of services exists today Challenges: Lack of harmonized technical standards Lack of legal basis for RIS Challenges in the cooperation between agencies Several potential improvements / new services in the queue Recommended governance and legal issues to address
