CETMEF-2008 -Common Shore-Based e-Navigation Architecture Dipl.-Ing. Jan-Hendrik Oltmann Deputy Head of Traffic Technologies and Telematics Division German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration+Chair, Architecture Technical Working Group of IALA e-Navigation Committee
Presentation Overview • What is e-Navigation? • The full picture:The overarching e-Navigation architecture • Zoom-In:Developing a common shore-based e-Navigation system architecture • Zoom-Out: Embedding the common shore-based e-Navigation system architecture in national, regional, and global topologies • IALA‘s role • Summary and concluding remarks
IMO‘s e-Navigation Definition • „E-Navigation is the • harmonizedcollection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information • onboard and ashore • by electronic means • to enhance berth to berth navigation and related services • for safety and security at sea and protection of the marine environment.”
Maritime Fields Ship operation+ navigation proper ClassicalAids-to-Navigation Vessel TrafficServices (VTS) Search and Rescue /GMDSS Pilotage Maritime hazard abatement Port operations Security / ISPS The harmonization effect of IMO‘s e-Navigation concept • e-Navigation • Globalharmonization • „common globallanguage“ • defined levels offunctionality • defined levels of service quality • quality improve-ment by error avoidance • look-ahead:auditing, certification,(V)IMSAS ???? Vessel Traffic Management (VTM) ??? Complete List: Compare e.g. Annex 2 of Annex 12 of report IMO-NAV54
The overarching • e-Navigation • architecture
The three sides of the coin “harmonized collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information onboard” “harmonized collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information ashore” “exchange”= virtual/ physical link(s)

The complete picture refined – user-requirement driven design Operational Requirement – Fulfillment by provision of Human Machine Interface Aids-to-Navigation Applications Including VTS Engineering modeling of shore-based e-Nav system (architecture + technologies + interfacing + life-cycle-management)
Zoom-In:Developing a commonshore-based e-Navigation system architecture
E-NavAppli- cation E-Nav Appli- cation E-NavAppli- cation Shore-based e-Nav service Master complexity! - How? PhysicalLink (e.g. radio link) Encapsulation of complexity for shore-based e-Navigation applications Standardised interfaces Point of view from ashore Standardised „signal-in-air“ specifications
Fundamental design principles /1 shore based e-Navigation system f(x) Deployed and operated by shore-based competentauthority Thinking in user-requirement driven functionality(not technology) – What?! – instead of How?!
Fundamental design principles /2 Deployed and operated by shore-based competentauthority User-requirement drivendesign - employing the object orientation and top-down functionality analysis
Fundamental design principles /3 shore based e-Navigation system One holistic, common,service-oriented, and client-server shore-based e-Navigation system architecture Deployed and operated by shore-based Competentauthority
Fundamental design principles /4 Deployed andoperated byshore-based competentautority HolisticLife-cyclemanagement
Zoom Out:Embedding the common shore-based e-Navigation system architecture innational, regional, and global topologies
Embedded in national, regional, and global topologies e.g. LRIT or IALA-NET e.g. EU-SSN e.g. HELCOM Deployed andoperated byown authority
IALA‘s role • (IALA = International Association of Marine Aids-to-Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities)
Development of common shore-basede-Navigation system architecture /1 IMO‘s invitation toIALA for participationin the implementationof e-Navigation Long standing mandate of IALA for mutual support ofAids-to-Navigation/VTS authorities(IALA national membership) IALA Contributionsto IMO documents (future)IALA Recommendations, IALA Guidelines +IALA Manuals on e-Navigationfor IALA National Members IALA activities fore-Navigation
Development of common shore-basede-Navigation system architecture /2 • IALA‘s goals regarding e-Navigation: • To co-ordinate the implementation of e-Navigation for international, shore-based stake-holders, globally. • 2. Prepare IALA itself for the implementation of e-Navigation=> „Thinking in e-Navigation on a global scale“ • 3. Prepare IALA (national) members for the pending implementation of e-Navigation => Recommendations, Guidelines, Manuals for IALA membership on e-Navigation
Development of common shore-basede-Navigation system architecture /3 • „Draft IALA Recommendation e-NAV 101 • on the e-Navigation Architecture • – the Shore Perspective“ • Content overview: • - the double mandate of IALA • - driving forces • - fundamental principles: overarching and shore-based system architecture • impact of e-Navigation on IALA as an organization, and its documentation • dependencies: GNSS/WWRNS, infrastructure
Summary and • concluding remarks
Fundamental statements appliedto the „three sides of the coin“ Internationally agreed, holistic, flexible, and common shore-based e-Navigation system architecture Internationally agreed, precise and open link descriptions („signal-in-air“) focus on applications (Information flow peer-to-peer = from ultimate information source to ultimate information sink)
User requirements / peer-to-peer applications – not so much new under the sun!?“ existing definitions needs to be inter- nationally documen-ted and harmonised existing, well-known user requirements + applications: VTS, Aids-to-Navigation, AIS integration, radio navigation, shore data exchange Need to be created, evaluated and internatio-nally defined genuinely new e-Nav user-requirements + e-Nav applications
