Project ID: PA1A137
NEED AND ADDED VALUE FOR THE DANUBE REGION STRATEGY
The Hungarian section of the Danube river is 417 km long and an important part of the Rhine-Danube Corridor. As part of the TEN-T inland waterways, it has to be fitted with RIS in line with Directive 2005/44/EC.
OBJECTIVE(S) OF THE PROJECT
The project aimed to entirely replace the Hungarian Inland Navigation Information System (HIR), so that it can communicate with RIS components and services. The Action consisted of works that optimize the Danube IWT.
The main objective of the Hungarian RIS was to create the conditions for a better and smoother use of the inland waterway, increasing the safety and efficiency of navigation and aligning, at the same time, the community of users involved through the sharing of easily accessible information.
PLANNED PROJECT ACTIVITIES
The project consisted of four activities:
- project management;
- design;
- implementation, testing and validation of RIS system, and
- trainings and system introduction.
TRANSBOUNDARY IMPACT
The project have had positive impacts on the competitiveness of inland waterway transport, modal split, traffic management, service quality, safety and security.
