1. Status of RIS in the Czech Republic
Ing. Vojtěch Dabrowski, Ministry of Transport of The Czech Republic
12th December 2012, Vukovar, DISC conference

2. Current status of RIS in the Czech Republic
National RIS server LAVDIS ( in full operation
DGPS reference station on the lock of Obříství in full operation
Electronic reporting – still no international data exchange realised
Notices to skippers – full operation, incorporation of outputs of IRIS Europe II project – ice messages, weather forecast

3. Current status of RIS in the Czech Republic (2)
Interconnection with European Hull Database – in operation
IENC – Depth data – actualisation at least 2 time per year
Wirelles LAN on selected parts of waterways – Elbe in the border section with Germany, Vltava in Prague area

4. Currently solved RIS topics
IRIS Europe III:
Implementation of quality standards of RIS (realised by State Navigation Authority)
Fuel saving device
Pilot implementation of AIS infrastructure in selected stretches of waterways
Pilot implementaton of ERDMS systém
Equipment of vessels with AIS transponders
Automatic generation of statistic data
Other topic:
International data exchange
Enhancement of LAVDIS system

5. Fuel saving tools could help for modal shift from road transport
Feasibility study for a low cost fuel saving device in the RIS environment
Operation costs of navigation on free flowing sections on Elbe are important for competitiveness of waterway transport, limited by wrong navigation conditions
Fuel saving tools could help for modal shift from road transport
Linked with supporting programm for modernisation of fleet, cofinanced by Operational Programme Transport

6. Automatic generation of statistics
Pilot implementation of automatic generation of statistic reports basis on ERI and AIS data, collected by LAVDIS, inc. data from locks
Lowering of administration work for skippers

7. Pilot implementation of AIS
Pilot implementation of AIS infrastructure on pilot stretches (border to Germany and Prague), including tool for lock management optimisation in Prague Smíchov
Purchase and install pilot equipment (100 AIS transponders with IENC viewers) on commercial vessels for optimal usage of VTT infrastructure and services (AIS transponders will rest in public ownership, lent to vessel owners)
