3. RISING key-facts Name: RIS Services for Improving the Integration of Inland Waterway Transport into Intermodal Chains (RISING) • EU-Programme: FP7-2007 • Budget/Funding: 7.5 M€/5.3 M€ • Project life: Feb 2009-May 2012 • Consortium: 24 project partners • Logistics service providers • Transport operators • Port and terminal operators • Port information service providers • RIS providers • Research institutions & Software developers • Promotion agencies RISING - Oliver Klein

4. Inland Waterway Transport (IWT) • approx. 42 000 km European inland waterways • Modal share: • EU-27: 6% • NL: 35% • DE: 12% • IWT has become an integral part of co-modal transport and logistics chains Source: European Union/Eurostat (2008) RISING - Oliver Klein

5. River Information Services in Europe • Introduced by the EU(RIS Directive 2005/44/EC) providingminimum requirements to enable cross-border compatibility of national systems • Typical users • Authorities • Calamity centres • Skippers • Use of ICT to • Improve reliability & efficiency • Increase safety • Provide traffic information • Optimise economic capabilities • European standard Intelligent Transport System (ITS) implementation in inland navigation[like eSafety, ERTMS, SafeSeaNet, SESAR in other modes] RISING - Oliver Klein

6. RISINGMission • Exploitation of RIS for logistics purposes • Extend types of users • Fleet Managers • Ports & Terminals • Logistic Service Providers • Enhance existing services • Develop new services • Harmonisation of message formats and service provisioning RISING - Oliver Klein

7. RIS standards and applications RISING - Oliver Klein

8. IWT Prerequisites • Planning • “ensuring validity” • Voyage Plan • cargo • origin/ETD • waypoints /ETA+ETD • destination/ETA • vessel • draught • … • Execution • “facilitating transparency” • RIS • AIS/position data • fairway & traffic, water levels • Terminals • cargo availability • customs / carrier release • berthing time confirmation • cargo handling RISING - Oliver Klein

9. Scenario of IWT Events • Fairway blocked • Congestion • Lock chamber closed • Discharge completed • Barge departed in time • Vessel arrived • Container discharged • Container released • Water level too low • Bridge clearance too low • Vessel arrival delayed • Container not on board • Container not discharged • Container not released • Container damaged • Container length, weight wrong • Dangerous goods data wrong • Berthing plan postponed • Barge arrived in time • Post haulage as planned RISING - Oliver Klein

10. SCEM for IWT • Concept based on SCEM (Supply Chain Event Management) • Proactive monitoring of the transport chain • What is an Event?  Significant change in State • Reality vs. Expectation  Specifying deviation • Detect impact on subsequent execution  analysing deviation(e.g. recalculate time of arrival) • Considering different types of Events • Expected “normal” events • Unexpected deviations of normal events (e.g. delays) • Unpredicted “abnormal” events (e.g. fairway blockage) • Specification of response patterns (e.g. adapt speed) RISING - Oliver Klein

11. IWT Monitoring Requirements • Automatic monitoring and detection of ... • Deviations from plans: • Transport: Voyage Planning • a-priori: position and availability of vessels • ETD,ATD (waypoint, origin) • ETA, ATA (waypoint, destination) • NtS (fairway and traffic related, locks, water levels, obstructions) • RTA (at terminals) • Transhipment facilities: [Resource|Berth] Planning • vessel ETA, ATA announcements (at terminal) • RTA announcements • cargo (quantity and stowage) • crane and staff availability RISING - Oliver Klein

12. Event driven IWT Applications • (EDA) denotes an architectural style • Facilitates simple integration of existing systems • Publish/Subscribe messaging paradigm • senders (publishers) • receivers (subscribers) • Published messages = Events with a dynamic set of receivers • Subscriptions = “persistent queries” with deferred results • Reduction of information overload & bandwidth RISING - Oliver Klein

13. Distributed Architecture – ESM • Integrated or linked to operational River Information Services or transport/terminal information sources • Information domain specific(e.g. position, ETA, lock status, water-level, etc.) • Event Service Module (ESM) • Receive subscriptions • Receive and store raw data from external sensors /applications (data sources) • Filter (process) raw data to produce relevant events according to individual subscriptions • Publish events to subscribers Transport/Terminal Management and Operating System EMCEvent Management Components ESMEvent Service Modules RIS – River Information Services RISING - Oliver Klein

14. Distributed Architecture – EMC • Integrated or linked to operational transport management and port or terminal managementsystems • Event Management Component (EMC) • Receive plan data • Determine attributes to be monitored (filter creation) • Place subscriptions at relevant sources (ESM) • Receive events • Analyse impact of received events on plans • Trigger reactions on deviations (alerts) Transport/Terminal Management and Operating System EMCEvent Management Components ESMEvent Service Modules RIS – River Information Services RISING - Oliver Klein

17. Demonstration Case Goals RISING - Oliver Klein

18. Transport & Terminal Monitoring IWT has become an integral part of the intermodal transport chains. As such it has to comply with requirements of supply chain management. • Enable easy integration of RIS data into transport management software • Achieve easy accessibility to RIS information • Limit mass of information: filter only relevant data • Receive more frequent accurate information from vessels & skippers • Decrease manual reporting efforts RISING services aid monitoringof ongoing transports by • providing a harmonized set of event services for all RIS transport and terminal related information • providing a harmonized subscription mechanism for these events facilitating the easy integration into ERP systems RISING - Oliver Klein

19. RISING Services Facilitating the integration of IWT in intermodal transport chains RISING - Oliver Klein

20. Event Management Web Application • Subscription management • Event visualisation & analysis RIS standards are applied wherever possible • RIS Index • Waterway infrastructure • Terminals • Inland ECDIS charts • Inland AIS data RISING - Oliver Klein

21. Benefits for the Logistics User • Event management allows automatic monitoring of voyages and fairway conditions • Detecting deviations early will give the planner a time advantage to react • Information is limited to the relevant facts • Concise & up-to-date overview of the current situation regarding vessels and waterways RISING - Oliver Klein

22. Summary RISING Services: • Spreading the benefits of RIS to the transport & logistics world • Increasing reliability and accountability of IWT • Closing information gaps • Removing barriers hindering the integration of IWT in intermodal transport chains • Providing web services in a harmonized way • Cooperation with EU RIS expert groups and other EU projects • Exploitable solutions are ready RISING - Oliver Klein
