  1. From V T S to V T M I S - NET History Functions Facilities

  2. Classical aids to navigation Classical aids to navigation (beacons, lighthouses, buoys): proven since more than 1000 years, but use limited to good visibility

  3. Predecessor of RADAR Telemobiloskop: First application of electromagnetic waves to detect metallic objects Patent pending 1904 Short detection range

  4. Development towards VTS Before and during last world war development of RADAR 1948 first civil shorebased radar station in Liverpool 1951 first civil shorebased radar station in Iymuiden 1956 first shorebased radar chain along New Waterway 1960 shore based radar chain Elbe 20 years later more than 200 ports with radar world-wide 1985 IMO VTS Guidelines 1997 Review of IMO VTS Guidelines

  5. TRAFFIC RISK and its REDUCTION Risk of traffic = combination of - probability that a damage happens - potential amount of damage Risk of maritime traffic results from - relation of vessels to vessels - relation of vessels to fairway Risk may be low or increased but still acceptable or unacceptable = danger Traffic Management Functions reduce Risk

  6. Traffic Management Functions FunctionContributing entities ships admin. navaids VTS others Rules Rout. monitoring Allocat. of space Manoevres Enforcement Remedial funct.

  7. VTS and the shipborne decision process basic shipborne data ship decision phys. elem. feedback addit. info services of the VTS traffic fairway other services V T S

  8. The different levels of the shipborne decision process mission level transport from port of dep. to port of destination up to the ship owner / shipping company strategic level sailing plan (route, schedule) ship master, pilot, VTS by I.S. or T.O.S. tactical level navigation plan (intended course and speed) ship master, pilot, VTS by N.A.S. command level rudder and engine command ship master, pilot

  9. IMO V T S Definition Vessel Traffic Services: A service implemented by a Competent Authority, designed to improve the safety and efficiency of vessel traffic and to protect the environment. The service should have the capability to interact with the traffic and to respond to traffic situations developing in the VTS area

  10. VTS as a system and its elements V T S national legal basis internat. recommend. Men Machine Method Aims: safe and efficient traffic environmental protection

  11. Fundamental functions of a V T S traffic vessels fairway DATA COLLECTION traffic situation DATA DISTRIBUTION communication phrases traffic image Services Informat. Serv. Nav.Ass. Serv. Traffic Org.S. DATA EVALUATION interaction? rules, regulat. data exchange

  12. Services of a V T S Information Service broadcast or single information on request - general traffic and fairway situation - special events - weather and tidal forecast Navigational Assistance Service assistance during difficult situations, updated - position related to the fairway - surrounding traffic - advice on course o.g., warning if needed Traffic Organization Servcice traffic monitoring and control - prevention of accidents - space allocation - enforcement and other necessary measures Co-operation with allied services, emergency services, adjacent VTS data exchange with interactive services action agreement if needed data provision for non-interactive services

  13. Technical equipment of a V T S traffic contr. radar radar radar etc. DF DF radio or cable links ship data processing radar data processing DF data processing contr. VHF AIS data exch. Navigational Assistance Service Information & Traffic Organisation Service

  14. VTS operators IMO does not specify if VTS operators shall be - civil servants - municipal servants - pilots but points at responsibility of VTS Authorities that VTS operators are qualified and trained according the services to be provided Annex 2 of the VTS Guidelines gives recommendations

  15. VTS users and user publication Users of a VTS = all who profit from a VTS, e.g.: ship masters, pilots to perform navigation allied services for resource planning allied authorities for planning, accountancy and statistics emergency services for immediate availability shorebased population to enjoy a clean environment User publications = to inform about facilities and harmonize use: World VTS Guide Standard Marine Communication Phrases IALA VTS classification VTS operators are users of VTS equipment to perform VTS services

  16. Applications and benefits of VTS Safety of traffic wrong or missing decision due to - lack of information - wrongly interpreted information - not considered information defects of equipment due to - unexpected break-down - unsufficient maintenance impaired by: improved by: Information Service for general precaution Navigational Assist. Service to decrease rising, still acceptable risk Traffic Organization Service to prevent unacceptable risk

  17. Applications and benefits of VTS Efficiency of traffic impaired by: improved by: delays of vessels due to - meteo- /hydrologic conditions - defects of shipborne equipment - missing aids to navigation unadapted sailing plan due to - missing availability of resources poor resource management due to - missing information on exact ETA Information Service & Navigational Assist. Service to assist easy flow of traffic Traffic Organization Service & Assistance of allied services to optimize sailing plans to improve resource planning

  18. Applications and benefits of VTS Environmental protection impaired by: improved by: Traffic Organization Service - special guidance of D.G. transports - surveillance of sensitive areas - identifying pollution originators Co-operation with emergency services - ensuring duly state of ships - alerting and making remedial actions accidents with polluting cargo shipborne spills of polluting cargo - inadvertently - unconsciously - deliberately

  19. Applications and benefits of VTS Results when V S T have been implemented: On an average the accident rate was decreased by about 50 % and previous delays of traffic during difficult situations like fog, gales or ice were minimized resulting in decreased costs for ships and harbours

  20. Present technical limitations of VTS Main sensor: pimary radar raw radar: no automatic identification limited detection rate echoes due to limited resolution: - no scaled presentation of real target - not symmetrical to real target limited tracking facility due to - target loss - target swop delayed indication of - position - speed during course or speed alterations synthetic radar (tracks)

  21. Outlook on future VTS development shore based pilotage increasing importance of Navigational Assistance Servcice shipborne ECDIS, DGPS, AIS decreasing importance of Navigational Assistance Servcice increasing ships‘ sizes and confined fairways increasing importance of Traffic Organization Servcice improvement of multimodal transport chain increasing importance of Co-operations with allied services increasing environmental sensibility increasing importance of Traffic Organization Service and Co-operation with emergency services

  22. Co-operation with adjacent VTS and allied services VTS 3 VTS 1 ship data exchange VTS 2 ship data exchange ship data provision ship data provision third users „VTMIS“

  23. VESSEL VTS  VTMIS VTS ( IMO) Co-ordination (IALA) Co-ordination (COST) RTIS (EURET) VTMIS (4th F.P.) TRANSPORT EXT. AREA

  24. VTMIS: Development of content and definition Report „TRANSPORT RESEARCH / VTMIS 1996“: VTMIS = Vessel Traffic Management and Information System Aims: - Integration of EDI tools to form a VTMIS by providing all needed data for VTS management, value added services and in emergency situations - performance requirements for radar as the main VTS sensor - research to outline technical and operational requirements for VTS VTMIS Concerted Action Definition 1988: VTMIS = Vessel Traffic Management and Information Services It implies that all services in the area, such as VTS, Allied Services and other information services, are interlinked and cooperate according to commonly harmonized procedures.

  25. V T M I S

  26. V T S and V T M I S

  27. V T S and V T M I S

  28. Present use of the term „V T M I S“ Producer: VTMIS = Super-VTS „incorporates the latest State-of-Art technology“ Port Technology: VTMIS = ultimate development from a basic VTS via VTMS to a system integrating safety and efficiency of traffic and (logistic) information IALA VTS Co.: Abbreviations as „VTIS“, „VTMS“ and „VTMIS“ should not be used in such (classification) documents as they cause problems of comprehension for mariners

  29. V T M I S - N E T

  30. Potential Participants of a V T M I S - NET

  31. VTMIS-NET: Intentions and Experiences 1) VTMIS-NET shall enable (added value) services for users 2) Users tend to adapt to the present state 3) Demonstrations shall illustrate potential benefits 4) VTMIS-NET has had predecessors (EVHA, EASI, EWTIS) 5) Users confirm wish for enhanced data availability but often hesitate to raise corresponding costs
