Benefit of a digital waterway network RIS Index, missing link between standards ISRS (Inland Ship Reporting Standard (UNECE)) UN country and location code RIS (River Information Services) RIS Index National standards (e.g. national waterway ID’s) e.g. intermodal traffic network INSPIRE 16.01.2019 10

Benefit of a digital waterway network RIS Index, also a missing link between RIS services VTT (Vessel Tracking and Tracing) IENC (Inland ECDIS Navigational Charts) ERI (Electronic ship Reporting system) RIS Index NtS (Notices to Skippers) 16.01.2019 11

Coordinates and additional attributes Benefit of a digital waterway network RIS Index, how to produce? “Joint Task Force on RIS Index” RIS Index Encoding Guide A reference book and user guide for the production of the RIS Index. The RIS Index is a discrete redundant dataset, consisting of: a 20 character object identifier (ISRS location code) for all objects, defined in the RIS Index Encoding Guide additional data (point coordinates and attributes), taken from corresponding Inland ECDIS objects. ISRS location code Coordinates and additional attributes RIS Index 16.01.2019 12

Benefit of a digital waterway network RIS Index, how to produce the ISRS location code? The location code (ISRS location code) which is defined in the International Ship Reporting System (ISRS) is used as object identifier. This is a 20 digit string which is put together by the following sub elements (mandatory fields): UN country code (2 characters) ok (DE) UN location code (3 characters) ? (WFS, waterway locator) Fairway section code (5 characters) ok (WFS, waterway locator) Object reference code (5 characters) (ok) (taken from IENC objects) Fairway section hectometre (5 characters) ok (WFS, waterway locator) 16.01.2019

Benefit of a digital waterway network RIS Index, ISRS location code out of waterway network Location code is an independent code Geometry (shapes) are available and can be integrated Creation of a new ISRS location code can be supported by a function of the waterway network RIS Index can also be integrated in the waterway network and provided by a WFS functionality Basic functionality of WMS and WFS is already running Problems: In Germany only 50% are covered with codes But in this case „xxx“ can be used temporarily Der UN Location code (UNITED NATIONS CODE FOR TRADE AND TRANSPORT LOCATIONS) ist ein Standard der UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE (UNECE).
