RIS Key technologies and their harmonised use in RIS servicesWhy this paper?

• Common issues meeting 2009 • Request of Ivo ten Broeke

• European wide harmonised implementation of RIS requires common approach in application of RIS key technologies

• Avoid “misuse” of RIS key-technologies leading to frustration of users

• IRIS Europe II QoIS• Update of the PIANC RIS guidelines

First Draft


Draft Recommendations

• The EC is recommended to base the use of RIS key technologies on the balancing as provided in the above table. • a pre-condition to the projects funded by the

European projects• The RIS authorities and their RIS providers are

recommended to base the use of RIS key technologies on the balancing as provided in the table.


Quality of RIS

But, how to determine and define the quality aspects of RIS-Key-technology and RIS-services?


Example of need for Quality Guidelines

The future of Vessel Traffic Management in the NL

• Setting up vessel traffic management in 2015 in NL (PL Mr. Cas Willems)

• Direct relation between VTM, calamity abatement, lock planning, E-Reporting, Vessel Tacking & Tracing, Inland ENC services

• National necessity for quality requirements is one thing, internationally it is even more important.

Activity 4 Scope issue

• Business processes not standardized

• Information elements supplied by RIS service not all standardized

40 Quality aspects * 70 RIS Services * 10 information elements (avg) per service * xx business processes * yy organizational settings * zz navigational unique area’s …… etc = n dimensional array with 10000’s of quality aspects to explore

Scope had to be limited to a useful and workable subset of Services and Quality aspects to cover


Selected RIS ServicesERI:

• STI.4 Presentation of vessel's characteristics

• STI.5 Presentation of cargo's characteristics

• LBM.2.1 / PTM 2.1 ETAs of approaching vessels

FIS:

• FIS.6 Temporary obstructions in the fairway

• FIS.7 Present and future water levels at gauges

VTT:

• TTI.1 Presentation of own vessel's position

• TTI.2 Presentation of other vessel's position

• VTS.3 / CAS.2 Assessment of traffic situation


Selected quality aspects

• Availability

• Ability to use data and facilities

(hardware, software, network/communication facilities etc)

• Correctness

• Accuracy

• Deviation from real world (information content)

• Age

• Time passed by since measurement or creation (information age)

No further choices made on limiting the scope irt

• Navigational conditions

• Traffic conditions

• Business processes to cover

• Information elements supplied by the service

Evaluation

• Peer reviews with expert groups

• Workshops with Belgium authorities (central and Flemish)

• Workshop with harbor authorities

• Workshop with DE

• Workshop focused on calamity handling (NL en BE, Evegem)

• Workshop within Rijkswaterstaat addressing “Mission Critical

Systems” and “Processes vitally/critically important for society”


Current status, September 2010 (1)

• SuAc 4 Meetings:- 9 April 2010 Budapest, 1 June 2010 Rotterdam, - 23/24 September 2010 Varna (BG), - 20 January 2011 Vienna

• There is mutual understanding of the challenges and importance of this topic and the first results are promising

• Time has come to share findings with expert groups (chairmen)

• Evaluation approach to be finalized upon in coming months
