in-innovative navigation GmbH has been commissioned to deliver their proven software and display solutions for detection, processing and presenting the traffic data. Besides AIS information commonly used for VTS systems, it is planned to integrate meteorological and hydrological data for the first time.

Traffic data together with CCTV images and current weather and water level for each river section will be available in a customized display solution at the traffic center. Furthermore, a web access to these data will enable other authorized user in future to profit from this new service.
