1. DISC ´12 NEWADA duo Work Package 5 – User services based on ICT
Vukovar, 13/12/ Gergely Mező / RSOE

2. Topics of presentations
Act.5.1 Services based on WLAN
Act.5.2 Personalized FIS Portal
Act.5.3 Pilot for Aids to Navigation

3. Act.5.1 WLAN

4. Background, status

5. Challenges, problems user’s point of view was not considered
different approaches of providing services
many possibilities remained

6. Activity overview
Act. 5.1 will be dealing with the improvement of WLAN (wireless local area network) services. Presently operational WLANs (which were implemented in the NEWADA and IRIS Europe II projects) shall be improved in terms of their coverage and available services according to user needs. Therefore, the project team will get in contact with users of these WLANs in order to collect feedback and suggestions for improvement of the available systems.

7. Tasks Task. No. Title of Task Resp. PP 5.1.1
Planning, execution and evaluation of user surveys and personal interviews

9. Act.5.2 FIS Portal

10. Background, status

11. Challenges, problems user-friendliness shall be enhanced,
contact with users shall be established,
quality of service shall be improved,
break-down of online web service data feeds,
improved internal administration (enhancement of error messages)

12. Activity overview
This activity will be dealing with the personalisation of the Fairway Information Services (FIS) portal which was developed during the NEWADA project to improve the portal in terms of user-friendliness, quality and harmonisation of data and customised information (e.g. services for registered users). Therefore, an analysis of user needs will be carried out and results will be utilised during the improvement of the Danube FIS Portal.

15. Act.5.3 AtoN
Activity Leader: Zoran Lukic, Plovput

16. Aim of Act.5.3
The main objective is to increase safety of navigation by installing electronic devices on the floating marks that provide information to the users navigating in different navigational conditions (different sections of the Danube River) about correct/accurate positioning of the fairway. Already installed AIS networks in the Danube countries shall enable river administrations to monitor the status of the marking system (and therefore status of information provision to the users) improving the precision and reliability as well as to broadcast virtual AtoNs on the pilot stretches.
