“…Hungary's shipping information service and emergency call service (DISR) [8] is used for maritime safety monitoring and rescue support. The inland water monitoring system invested and constructed by the Federal Government of Germany [9] has a complete database, which regularly reports the water level of the waterway and the working conditions along the river 4 times a day, and is responsible for dangerous goods transport ships, large ships over 140 meters, and towing vessels with limited maneuvering capacity will be tracked throughout the entire journey. The total length of the U.S. inland waterways is about 41,000 kilometers [10], which is mainly composed of five major water systems: Moby River, Columbia River, Mississippi, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic Coastal Waterways.…”

The digital twin can reconstruct the scenes of real traffic operation of inland waterways in the virtual space, giving birth to new ideas for the digital transformation and upgrading of water safety management. Aiming at the problems of video fragmentation, sub-system data separation and untimely emergency response in the current inland waterway safety monitoring, this paper proposes a new method for reconstructing and applying a digital twin of inland waterways based on 3D video fusion which consists of four parts: (1) Combining drone tilt photography and BIM modeling technology to construct a threedimensional scene model of inland waterways; (2) Proposing a multi-channel video three-dimensional registration and rendering method to integrate in real time discrete surveillance videos of different angles of view with three-dimensional scene model to establish the spatial correlation between different video images in the scene; (3) Integration multi-source IoT sensing data to form a scene of digital twin of inland waterways; (4) Based on water safety management requirements and business logic, to develop innovative applications of water safety management based on digital twin scenarios. A certain segment of the Changhu Shen Line was selected for demonstration and application. The application results show that the construction and application of digital twins for inland waterways combined with 3D video reduces the pressure on managers to understand real-time video footage and improves the efficiency of daily monitoring, evidence collection, and emergency response.INDEX TERMS digital twin, inland waterway, safety management, video fusion, safety management, inland waterway, 3D panorama

“…One of the expected benefits of RIS is that they improve the competitive position of inland navigation (i.e. an increase in growth of cargo transported via inland waterways) due to a better integration of inland navigation in the logistics chain (Ten Broeke et al, 2001;Muilerman, 2006;). This can also happen in urban contexts (Durajczyk et al, 2021).…”

River Information Services (RIS) are harmonized digital services that support safety, transport and traffic management in the inland navigation. RIS refer mainly to four key technologies such as Vessel Tracking and Tracing (VTT) with onboard Inland Automatic Identification System transponders (Inland AIS), Electronic Reporting International (ERI), Notices to Skipper (NtS) and Inland Electronic Chart Display and Information System (Inland ECDIS). These key technologies were developed during the nineties and received in Europe a regulatory framework through the Directive EC/2005/44 (the RIS-Directive). In 2009, most EU Member States had implemented the Directive. One of the claimed benefits of the implementation of RIS relates to a growing performance of inland navigation. In this paper, the impact of RIS on the performance of inland navigation is analyzed via a structural break cointegration approach, followed by an Error Correction Model (ECM) estimation. The empirical analysis shows that the performance of the dry bulk market is highly dynamic, while the liquid bulk market is moderately responsive to shocks. The structural break analysis could not capture any effect of the Directive on the performance of both markets, which can be attributed to several factors, such as the difficulty to isolate the policy impact, other drivers of variation, interferences of other policies and changes at the demand side.

Navigation canals are used for transport purposes. In order to allow safe navigation the water level should be kept in a certain range around the Normal Navigation Level (NNL). The water level is disturbed by known and unknown inputs, like tributaries, municipal water flows, rain, etc. Some of these inputs can be used to control the water level. If the geometry requires it, canal reaches are connected by locks. The operation of these locks sometimes can disturb the water level, if the difference between the upstream and downstream water level is large. The objective is to minimize the disturbances caused by these lock operations on the water level in order to maintain the NNL. In this work the global management of the canal reach is discussed and an option to maintain the NNL by active control is introduced. Some inputs to the system, such as other confluences or gates on the side of the locks, can be controlled automatically to react to the disturbances caused by the lock operations using model predictive control to maintain the desired water level.
