NSR-RTM as an ACCSEAS legacy for Europe A Route Topology Model to promote sea transport: INSPIRE, ITS, Intermodal transport and Maritime Spatial Planning John Morten Klingsheim Norwegian Coastal Administration Maritime Spatial Planning / GIS spesialist Good afternoon Introduce myself. Stephan have started this part by giving details on the steps to get to an instance of RTM for the North Sea, and the mariners possible use of a Route network for the North Sea. Jan-Hendrik have introduced the connection between Maritime Service Portfolio and the routes of the North Sea, giving the users a good access to which maritime services are provided for the different routes, and giving major reasons for establishing a common RTM for the North Sea. I will address the idaeae on ACCSEAS RTM as a good example of a Transport Network needed for European Legacy with The North Sea as example The Route Topology, which is a Transport Network. (give reasons for the name Topology…). 3) NSR-RTM as an ACCSEAS legacy for Europe Represent the four topics, and they all need a route Topology model Its, or intelligent transport systems are systems to make the road or the car intelligent. To make the car understand its surrondings and pick the smartest choices. This could be the car putting on the brake for a child in the road or the road lights adapt to traffic density and give green light for longer periods for the roads with the highest traffic density. Its, on the seaside: - ENC and radar can give options for the vessel on itself to choose to slow down because of max 8 knot regulations or coming into high risk area. On the intermodal part there seems to be great opportunities on establishing smarter logistics where information on possible routes for transport from A to B: - Which alternative routes can be taken? - How much time will transport take using the different routes? -What are the possible eta's for given transport jobs? - What are the environmental impacts of possible routes? This can also increase the knowledge of the value of the sea routes. for example in evaluation of maritime areas for windparks or aquaculture in maritime spatial planning.

The Core and comprehensive Transport Network (TEN-T) The EU Legecy refers to the TEN-T Transport network with a given number of Core European Ports, and Comprehensive ports. In the same way roads and railways are included. However the sea routes are not included. To show the full transport network , routes at sea should obviously be included. The ACCSEAS project have tried to fill this empty room in the european TEN-T transport network. Its not only visually a drawback that sea routes are not included. It also gives us, as ambassadors for sea transport, one less tool to present the benefits of sea transport.

INSPIRE INSPIRE: The first step to establish an intermodal transport network The INSPIRE directive came into force on 15 May 2007 (Directive 2007/2/EC) with the requirement that all member states must have an infrastructure for spatial data, both "standard" map data as elevation data, lakes and roads, and more thematic data such as a transport network (land, air and at sea). The 34 topics are given in the directive: http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/2/list/7 INSPIRE: The first step to establish an intermodal transport network The INSPIRE directive came into force on 15 May 2007 (Directive 2007/2/EC) with the requirement that all member states must have an infrastructure for spatial data, both "standard" map data as elevation data, lakes and roads, and more thematic data such as a transport network (land, air and at sea). It is required that each nation must submit data. The 34 topics are given in the directive: http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/2/list/7. First delivery includes data from Annex I, including transport networks which is of high relevance to e-Navigation as potential e-Navigation services will be referring to different areas and routes. For the topic “transport network”, given in the Annex I, Metadata should be delivered within December 2013, search and view services should be established within November 2014, and download and transformation services should be established within December 2015. The deliveries from individual countries is basis for values​​ of a seamless common infrastructure for spatial data. For Transport Network seamless data are of the highest value to support pan-European activity. The RTM with sea routes, Motorways, Roads at sea and small craft lanes, for the north sea and other european sea areas, must comply with the specifications in INSPIRE Transport Network Here comes in the same ideas as Stephan refered to with the traffic shown as legs and nodes to present an RTM. INSPIRE: Directive given However other user requirements raise the needs of other common information elements not given in INSPIRE. The Water Transport Network model given in INSPIRE

Council conclusions on transport infrastructure The European Council has also in December 2014 given a number of conclusions on Transport Infrastructure, especially refering to Intermodal transport and ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems). Many relevant issues set here, among them conclusion 15 on intermodal transport and ITS, and 16 on cross border cooperation to give a transeuropoean network.

TN-ITS, a framework for transport Network Information (ITS + INSPIRE) TN-ITS based on project results in ROSATTE shall establish a complete organizational framework for information on the Transport Network (a convergence between INSPIRE and ITS Legacy) The RTM in ACCSEAS can also bring these two together for sea transport. ITS. Its, or intelligent transport systems are systems to make the vessel and its route intelligent, or say the road and the car intelligent. To make the car understand its surrondings and pick the smartest choices. This could be the car putting on the brake for a child in the road or the road lights adapt to traffic density and give green light for longer periods for the roads with the highest traffic density. Its, on the seaside: - ENC, AIS and radar can all give information to the vessel to support the vessels decission on itself, for example to choose to slow down because of max 8 knots in regulations or vessel coming into a high risk area. To support ITS a information infrastructure must be available. The vessel or the fairway must have access to the relevant information about the sea route or about the ship sailing the route, and understand what it should be used for. A figure of the system to populate the road infrastructure. Adapt it better to the maritime domain. To harmonize information to confirm with both legacies. ITS must include all transport modes to establish smart green transport. Joint (videolink) meeting of ITS Europe (Helsinki) and INSPIRE (Aalborg) 16th – 20th June 2014 on Transport Networks technology for better update of road information. Developments on ITS for information systems on road infrastructure can show the way for ITS for Sea Transport! A important parallel to the establishing of a maritime Route Topology Model is the work on ITS and INSPIRE’s Transport Network which today have mainly focus on land-based transport. A report (ITS ACTION PLAN, by Algoé - Rapp Trans Grouping for DG MOVE, final version 9.3.2011) presenting the way forward to establish European (and international) framework for transport information based on project results from ROSATTE among others (ROad Safety ATTributes exchange infrastructure in Europe. Specification of data exchange methods. Ver. 16 released 31.8.2009), have set grounds for the TN-ITS financed by DG MOVE. TN-ITS hosted by ERTICO shall establish a complete organizational framework for information on the Transport Network, also being developed in the working groups for ISO EC 204 Intelligent Transport Systems (Link). TN-ITS was started 6.6.2013 to further develop the frame­work, including both static transport data and the dynamic (+predictive) transport data. Models and requirements established for ITS and especially TN-ITS, should be taken into account when looking for data exchange methods also for Water Transport Networks. The Transport Networks model developed in INSPIRE already set grounds for establishing an intermodal Transport Network. A prosess for establishing the organisational framework for road transport network information might show the way for maritime routes?

The routes must connect at sea, and in ports The routes must connect at sea, and in ports. (Picture of routes not connectiong showing the alternative development. Example with possible wind park areas for assessment in Norway?). However other user requirements raise the needs of other common information elements not given in INSPIRE. (Lars Inge Arnevik, Kartverket)

National sea routes of Norway National sea routes do not connect the North Sea ports! The routes must connect at sea, and in ports. (Picture of routes not connectiong showing the alternative development. Example with possible wind park areas for assessment in Norway?). However other user requirements raise the needs of other common information elements not given in INSPIRE. (Lars Inge Arnevik, Kartverket)

Intelligent transport = Intermodal Transport = Green transport (set grounds for competition interfaces) Options for transport of goods from A to B A common instance of A North Sea RTM can set grounds for more intermodal green transport! Transport information on routes includes: … Speed ferry 4 times a day (Company C, Company D) Container vessels twice a day (Company A, company B) (a) time of travel from delivery in port going out of the next port). A 20 hours travel, going once a day, or a 25 hours travel going once a week. Price of transport (Short Sea Shipping example). The authorities should probably not be responsible for the details of such information, but a common information infrastructure for the transport network in the North sea Countries + in the North Sea is a must to extend the «competition» between possible transport choices. (competition interfaces). (b) Risk assesments. To connect risk assesments to traffic routes can raise the usability of risk assesments. (PICTURE OF RISK Connected to large coastal segments, and to . The decrease in risk will then also be an incitament to use the transport routes with less risk. (c) Green transport: Can these be connected to the routes as well as the emissions «luftutslippene». This set much better grounds for a policy of green transport. The ports can in this way also present them selves as green ports. However the national transport authorities must establish a common information infrasttructure to open up for this green transport future. And even though transport in the future could be non-emission, the cost of transport imply environmentral impact in many other ways than the emissions (traffic jam, accidents, vulnerable ecosystems,), hence green transport must be effective and efficient transport! Green taxes in ports (NCA, Oslo, Kristiansand, Stavanger, all have tax rates giving incentives to green transport. Like tax discounts, based on the world wide Environmental Ship Index, are given in ports around the North Sea, and also by the Norwegian Coastal Administration to promote green sea transport. The same instrument is made available by the Route Topology Model for the Sea. Can Environmental Indexes be put on Sea routes? Logistic companies will build up (and have built up) their own information systems supporting their services. Can a common system for the north sea play together with their systems? PICTURE OF GREEN PORTS and GREEN VESSELS (LNG from Nor Lines). Green routes!

Marine/Maritime Spatial Planning Directive on Maritime Spatial Planning (2014/89/EU) establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning. Can sea routes be safe- guarded in spatial planning without having common routes in the national and regional processes? Directive on Maritime Spatial Planning (2014/89/EU) establishing a framework for maritime spatial planning. Information on motorays and roads on sea is of major importance to be able to safeguard the sea routes in planning processes where all interests should have their saying. We must have qualified information on why the route is important, if the route has no importance the sea area can be utilized for many other purposes. Which routes to let go for other activity, like windparks and fishfarming – The use could be temporary or more permanent installations. In Norway oastal zone planning have confronted many of these issues for now 30 years, becuase of the extensive number of inshore fairways with other intersts present, especially fish farming, and it is continuasly fights about sea space in the inshore sea areas. The Planning Act went into sea in 1985, which representet now 30 years ago The North Sea has now an increased value as it can be utilized to many other purposes than sea routes. And to safegurd the motorways of the seas, the roads ofthe seas and also the …. Sea routes for smaller vessels, we must have harmonized information on the relevant traffic in routes if the spacerepresenting major sea routes shall not be utilized for other purposes.

The Core and comprehensive Transport Network (TEN-T) with RTM So here

Outlook – RTM Workshop Route Topology Modelling (RTM) appears to be an abstract but promising method to assist in solving several issues identified for a vessel’s voyage and for vessel traffic flow. The Workshop will elaborate on ideas and topics presented in the preceding presentations by discussion and gather views of stakeholders present.
