Abstract In the search for space producing renewable energy, possible negative effects of solar parks and wind farms along inland waterways can easily be overseen. This paper provides an exploratory description navigation like blinding helmsmen, disturbance radio communication exaggeration vessel’s radar images concludes with a chapter on mitigating measures.

This paper proposes a combined control and state estimation strategy for inland waterways, aiming at simultaneously attaining the optimal water level management maximizing hydroelectricity generation. The latter can be realized by turbines installed in canal locks that harness energy generated during lock filling draining operations. These two objectives are of opposed nature, as maximization g...

Building inland waterways affects the natural structure, formation, and extent of riverbed riparian zone. It alters hydrology sediment deposition conditions hence damages aquatic ecosystem. To address effects construction on riverine biome, benthic macroinvertebrate communities were compared at different building stages along a gradient shipping traffic density two montane rivers in China. The ...

Abstract Shipper response surveys have been growing in favor recent years and if administered correctly, can help quantify shipper’s behaviors opinions which present themselves as transportation demand functions by mode of delivery (water, rail or truck). Demand functions, defined economists “numeric elasticities” changes quantity demanded a result rates/duration/reliability, enabled to the Cor...
