5. Lock Management – Pilot Project Danube
760 km waterway
56 Locks

6. Lock Management Questions Goals
How can the operation of a single lock be optimized in terms of chamber occupancy, waiting time of vessels (Lock Kachlet)?
In a further step, the consideration of the optimization are extended to a chain of locks (5 remaining Danube locks).
Goals
Support the lock operator during the planning process
Optimization of waiting times at locks
Electronic Traffic Journal (based on AIS)
Implementation until end 2013 for Danube
Evaluation early 2014 and decision for operation on other waterways
