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

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

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

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

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

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