Water transport, both sea and inland, is the cheapest, least invasive, safest option for non-standard loads; hence, it important to increase percentage share of inland waterway transport on rivers Central Eastern Europe. Transporting cargo particularly difficult shallow waterways because overloaded with sediment determine vertical parameters waterways. A ship’s safe manoeuvrability depends avai...

Abstract The water level is a critical hydraulic parameter for inland ship safe navigation, as well an important variable in waterway transport minoring and assistant systems. As basic traditional method, the one-dimensional (1D) hydrodynamic model adapted to simulate river sections/waterway segments obtain levels numerically. However, friction factor, i.e., Manning’s coefficient n, sensitive 1...

Spill Management Information System (SMIS) is a geographic information system (GIS)-based decision support system designed to effectively manage the risks associated with accidental or intentional releases of a hazardous material into an inland waterway. SMIS provides critical planning and impact information to emergency responders in anticipation of, or following such an incident. SMIS couples...

To avoid conflict and deadlock states in waterway with multiple locks and canals, a computer based traffic management system with proper control policy must be applied. The paper proposes a formal method for design of deadlock prevention supervisor by using discrete event theory, multiple reentrant flowlines class of Petri net and P-invariants control places calculation. By using and/or matrix ...

Health impact assessments (HIA) promote the consideration of health in a wide range of public decisions. Although each HIA is different, common pathways, evidence bases, and strategies for community engagement tend to emerge in certain sectors, such as urban redevelopment, natural resource extraction, or transportation planning. To date, a limited number of HIAs have been conducted on decisions...
