State financial support prospects for inland waterways upgrading to include the river transport in a multimodal transport system

Inland Waterways - the Cost of Messing About on the River

Northern Ireland is blessed with some beautiful lakeland and coastal scenery so if it's a nice day, many of us enjoy visiting areas like the Fermanagh Lakelands or North Coast. There is however a much darker side to our contact with water. In 2014, a total of 338 people drowned in the UK from accidental or natural causes. Only 14 of these deaths occurred in the open sea. 102 occurred close into...

NaSS: system simulation of inland waterways

Proceedings of the International Conference on Harbor, Maritime and Multimodal Logistics Modeling & Simulation, HMS 2009 ISBN 978-84-692-5416-5 146 ABSTRACT The Navigation System Simulation (NaSS) suite of tools has been developed by the Institute for Water Resources of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), as part of the Navigation Technologies Research Program. NaSS is composed of two pri...

Barriers and Missing Networks in European Inland Waterways and Coastal Transport

A New Two Dimensional Model for Pollutant Transport in Ajichai River

Accurate prediction of pollution control and environmental protection need a good understanding of pollutant dynamics. Numerical model techniques are important apparatus in this research area. So a 2500 line FORTRAN 95 version code was conducted in which using approximate Riemann solver, couples the shallow water and pollution transport agents in two dimensions by the aid of unstructured meshes...

A Decision Support System for Urban Journey Planning in Multimodal Public Transit Network

The goal of this paper is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) as a journey planner in complex and large multimodal urban network called Rahyar. Rahyar attempts to identify the most desirable itinerary among all feasible alternatives. The desirability of an itinerary is measured by a disutility function, which is defined as a weighted sum of some criteria. The weight...
