Investigation of hydrodynamic interaction between the vessel and seabed when entering shallow water is considered one most critical considerations inland waterway transport. There are many investigations into behavior ships in restricted waters, such as traveling different forms canal cross-sections. The present study aims to evaluate 750 DWT Perintis Ship moving through types determine relativ...

Introduction Rivers are one of the most important water resources and it is very important to study their water quality. Therefore, in this study, sampling was done from 15 permanent waterway stations of Pirbadush and Gashun of Qolyan River in Lorestan province, which are located in the path of oil shales.   Materials and Methods  Hydro-geochemical parameters were calculated by analyzing t...

Comparable port efficiency among ports of the European northern range leads to a competitive shift toward hinterland connectivity. North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), having high population and industry density an extensive road, rail waterway network, is prone such inter competition due its proximity. Using simulation model, potential scope by each mode in NRW depicted sensitivity analysis with incr...

Managing models and schemas pertaining to different parts of the marine information domain is an important part of the U.S. Coast Guard R&D Center's proposed Waterway Information Network. This paper describes our approach to distributed model and schema management and an architecture for facilitating the use of formal artificial intelligence concepts in application development with XML.

This paper examines the structure, operation, required input data and the output of a simulation model that is used for a simulation investigation for a Sailing Container Terminal (SCT) for the port of Rotterdam. The SCT will be used to tranship small consignments of containers between the inland waterway and feeder vessels and the shore based container terminals of the port of Rotterdam. The o...

The paper responds to research problems related the implementation of large-scale investment projects in waterways Europe. As part design and construction works, it is necessary indicate river ports that play a major role within European transport network as intermodal nodes. This entails number challenges, cardinal one being optimal selection port locations, taking into account new transport, ...

IN T R O D U C T IO N Bridges are an integral part of any highway system. The design of a particular bridge depends on many variables. A major considera­ tion, often necessary, is the length of the bridge. In certain circum­ stances and locations the length may be dictated by factors other than cost. But, where necessary the designer must decide, “How far can the bridge approaches extend onto t...

The socioeconomic, technological, and environmental needs developments call for effective infrastructure investment planning. Because infrastructures are interdependent, this requires the entanglement of their demand performance development. We propose a scenario-based system-of-systems model to support strategic decision-makers in evaluating effects planned investments on transport under diffe...
