The shipping volume in inland waterways has been rapidly increasing recent years. However, it is still challenging to trace oil spills caused by maritime accidents. In this study, the spill dispersion trajectory rivers was obtained simulating of particles under different waterway conditions based on a simulated flow field. Firstly, field using fluid (VOF) model and solution an open-channel equa...

Abstract The European maritime transport policy recognizes the importance of waterborne systems as key elements for sustainable growth in Europe. A major goal is to transfer more than 50% road rail or waterways within 2050. To meet this challenge waterway needs get attractive and overcome its disadvantages. Therefore, it necessary develop new knowledge technology find a completely approach shor...

The article studies the importance of river trade flows and inland port services in Viceroyaltyof New Kingdom Granada (present-day Colombia, Ecuador, Panama)during late colonial period. By measuring market size structure Mompox, oneof region’s largest ports, study provides materials to examine extent ofmarket widening deepening Caribbean Granada. Based upon a broad set taxrecords, paper contend...

Erratum: “Nutrient Pollution: A Persistent Threat to Waterways” The November 2014 News article “Nutrient Pollution: A Persistent Threat to Waterways” [Environ Health Perspect 122:A304–A309; http://dx.doi.org/10.1289/ehp.122-A304] accidentally used the same map to depict both phosphorus and nitrogen pollution in U.S. waterways. In addition, the caption for the phosphorus map incorrectly stated t...

Automatic Identification System (AIS) data-supported ship trajectory analysis consistently helps maritime regulations and practitioners make reasonable traffic controlling management decisions. Significant attentions are paid to obtain an accurate by learning data feature patterns in a feedforward manner. A may change her moving status avoid potential accident inland waterways, thus, the variat...

Maritime transportation functions as the backbone of world trade. The U.S. inland waterway system is comprised 12,000 miles navigable waterways that connect and move freight between global supply chain thirty eight States. When investing in infrastructure, we should aim to maximize all benefits associated with investment including flood protection, water supply, hydropower generation, recreatio...

The autonomous ships’ introduction is associated with a number of challenges including the lack appropriate risk acceptance criteria to support assessment process during initial design phases. This study aims develop rational methodology for selecting matrix ratings, which are required perform and conventional ships at an early stage. consists four phases employs individual societal determine r...

Compared with open waters, congested inland waters have narrow waterways, many river-crossing bridges, a high density of navigation, and current velocity in some sections. In this study, an improved collision avoidance algorithm based on model predictive control (MPC) is proposed to solve the problem for autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) waters. First, considering influence current, ASVs trans...

Artificial residential waterways are now widespread in the world’s estuaries. We used the global mapping tool, Google Earth, to determine that there are nearly 4000 linear km of artificial waterways globally, covering an area of 270 km2. Residential waterways constructed as open, flow-through canal estates are at their greatest extent in North America (77% of global linear extent), where system...

The aim of the article is to develop mechanisms information and logistics system enterprises organizations engaged in design, construction, operation transport vessels order maintain competitive positions on inland waterways Ukraine river European Union. organization functioning cluster has a positive impact search for consensus with all participants transport. strategic guidelines have been fo...
