Book E   Navigation Basics

Download or read book E Navigation Basics written by Prof. Capt. Ralph Becker-Heins and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance there seems to be a fragmented nature of the maritime digital solution market, yet, after reading this book the 'big picture' becomes clear and everything is put into the right context. Over the last decades, and after numerous projects, committee work, and industry initiatives (all described in this book), the contours of E-navigation eventually distilled to a clear structure. On one hand the E-navigation framework provides reliable guidance, but on the other hand leaves sufficient flexibility for further technological and also procedural advancements. Realisations of E-navigation are in use already, being closely linked e.g. with modern integrated ship-bridges, the layout of information on navigational screens, Maritime Single Windows, port-call optimisation platforms, even the entire multi-modal transport chain. Next to the initiatives is Europe, special attention is given to the enormous E-navigation project in the Republic of Korea, targeted to facilitate the country's transition from a ship-building nation to a leader in the maritime digital world. The book not only take s an actual summary of the E-navigation development, but also highlights benefits and opportunities for various stakeholders. The target group includes those operating the ships at sea and at port, business prime movers, formative maritime authorities, and researchers.

Book Applying Advanced Information Systems to Ports and Waterways Management

Download or read book Applying Advanced Information Systems to Ports and Waterways Management written by Marine Board and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-03-31 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The future safety of maritime transportation in the United States-a major factor in the nation's international trade and economic well-being-will depend heavily on the quality of port and waterways information systems. Many U.S. ports and waterways lack adequate information services, although certain elements of advanced systems are now available in some locations. Barriers to improvements in information systems include the division of responsibilities for waterways management among multiple agencies at all levels of government, a lack of coordination among the federal agencies responsible for waterways management, inadequate budgets for some critical maritime programs, the high costs of some specialized technologies, stakeholder opposition to user fees, limited access to certain key data, the incompatibility of many independently developed systems, and the absence of standards for some attractive technologies. In this report, the second phase of a three-year study by the Committee on Maritime Advanced Information Systems of the National Research Council, a strategy is presented for overcoming the major barriers and deficiencies and providing a minimum level of maritime safety information nationwide. In this phase of the study, the committee concentrated on maritime information systems that promote safety, which is the area of greatest need. The committee did not examine in detail the relationship between navigation safety and maritime transportation efficiency or evaluate information systems that promote efficiency; the committee believes, however, that these issues deserve further attention.

Book Transport Systems Telematics

Download or read book Transport Systems Telematics written by Jerzy Mikulski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-06 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of telematics appeared more than a decade ago and it is possible to define it, in a general and simple way, as a communication system for collecting, processing and distributing information. The transport services market is definitely the most important area for telematic applications. Transport-telematics issues constitute a field of knowledge of transport that integrates information technology and telecommunications in applications for managing and controlling traffic in transport systems, stimulating technical and organizational activities that ensure improved effectiveness and safe operation of such systems. Integrated and cooperating telematic applications constitute intelligent transport systems. The basis of such systems is to efficiently collect and process information and to manage its flow within the system. This enables supplying information from almost all areas of transport activities in real time. Intelligent transport––supported by a number of integrated telecommunications, IT measurement and control engineering solutions, and by appropriate tools and software––comprises telematic applications. They have an extensive range of use in many areas of transport, allowing the integration of the means and types of transport, including its infrastructure, business organization and management processes. This monograph is a collection of selected papers presented at the jubilee transport telematics conference, TST 2010, and is the result of the work of many scientists associated with this area of knowledge and who had spent years with the conference.
