Informatisation of the public administration Slovak Republic aims to create a functional architecture integrated information system. This system also includes development Agenda systems that provide electronic services in most automated mode, according principle all at once. In field water transport, there is currently no fully agenda Creating an Information System (AIS) will allow multi-channe...

The paper gives a general description of the Danube waterway data management in Croatia. For this purpose, we initiated the development of a specialized geographic information system (GIS), the so called River IS, which provides efficient waterway related data management for the Croatian part of the Danube River. In addition, Croatian activities in the Pan-European Programme Consortium Operatio...

Inland waterway networks are likely to go through heavy changes due to a will in increasing the boat traffic and to the effects of climate change. Those changes would lead to a greater need of an automatic and intelligent planning for an adaptive and resilient water management. A representative model is proposed and tested using MDPs with promising results on the water management optimization. ...

In recent years, single object tracking has been extensively studied and achieved much development. However, multiple objects tracking is still an issue that remains to be addressed. Generally speaking, existing multiple objects tracking methods employ a manner of simultaneously tracking each object respectively. In this paper, we develop a multiple ship tracking algorithm based on deformable p...

Maritime transportation functions as the backbone of world trade. The U.S. inland waterway system is comprised 12,000 miles navigable waterways that connect and move freight between global supply chain thirty eight States. When investing in infrastructure, we should aim to maximize all benefits associated with investment including flood protection, water supply, hydropower generation, recreatio...

Since the end of 2019, outbreak COVID-19 has severely affected port production and operation. There is little research on systematic impact assessment. This study took Shanghai Port as an example evaluated under different scenarios through establishing a System Dynamics model. It found that epidemic mainly greater passenger transport, but less cargo transport. The ports with function transporta...

Florida's coasts have been transformed over the past three decades as population growth and unprecedented demand for individual shore access to bays and estuaries led to the creation of residential canal developments. Thousands of miles of channels and basins were dredged as a by-product of this urbanization process. The navigable waterways that resulted are now being stressed by increasing boa...

We develop spatial competition a la Bertrand for barge shipping along a waterway. Equilibrium prices are derived for two variations. For each case, we …rst give the perfectly competitive benchmark (when all modes are priced at marginal cost) before introducing market power on the modes. The paper emphasizes strategic rivalry (and market power) in two dimensions, and, for tractability, we consid...

In this paper a stochastic model of tanker traffic is developed to determine the probability of vessel casualties resulting from the transit traffic through a narrow waterway. More specifically, the present study models the collision and grounding probabilities in a waterway resulting from course changes due to hydrodynamic forces acting on the vessel. The computation of vessel positions and th...
