2. PROJECT CONTEXT AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013 9
MODERNIZE THE WATERWAY CNR wishes to be considered as an exemplary concessionary, especially for its navigation activity, Adapt to traffic changes, Take into account increased concern for the safety of transport, Improve information for skippers and loaders, Transform the lock keeper activity. AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013
MODERNIZE THE WATERWAY Implantation of a center in Châteauneuf du Rhône Organize and operate Improve services to skippers through the AIS system to be implemented Monitor the waterway traffic conditions Give information in real time Manage traffic during flood periods AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013
3. TECHNICAL ASPECTS AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013 12
TECHNICAL ASPECTS FLEXIBILITY: any lock can be operated from any workstation. VERSATILITY : adjust the number of operators according to the period (day-night, wintersummer) STAFF : strengthening the local operating teams to operate the lock in case of malfunction. AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013

4. FIRST FEED BACK AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013 26
FIRST FEED BACK A socially challenging project Lock-keepers and technicians involved in the project since the first design steps and in the preliminary risk studies New jobs + interesting A complete reorganization of the navigation activity A very important training program (300 people) Manageable technical challenges Audio system development Deployment rate in conjunction with the reorganization of the operational units AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013
FIRST FEED BACK Action consistency, improved information exchanges Ongoing Improvement process: - correcting first dysfunctions - changing operators habits - adapting operation rules AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT Next step: traffic management Optimize travel time with a better management of the lockages Identify abnormal situations To alert and inform AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013
Traffic management Where are the boats? Where will they be in 15-30 minutes? How to organize and optimize lockages (order of arrival, hazardous material transportation rules, leisure boats) TRACKING TOOLS VHFcalls (difficult to precisely locate the calling boat), last recorded lockage and estimated transit time, locks and river cameras (not a full coverage), AIS deployed in 2013, real-time monitoring of boats position combined with tracking software AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013
AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013 Gestion du trafic du Rhône GTR Software
Areas of work- Cooperation Develop exchanges of information with the surrounding systems (river and sea ports, others waterways), Simulation software to optimize lockages, Integrate the different sytems and simplify AIPCN-PIANC Marseille May 2013
