RISING

Project acronym:
RISING

Project name:
RIS Services for Improving the Integration of Inland Waterway Transport into Intermodal Chains

Project duration:
February 2009 – January 2012 (36 months)

Programme:
7th Framework programme EU

Project objectives:
The overall objective of the RISING project is the identification and integration of information and services such that RIS can efficiently support IWT-based transport and logistics operations.

Project description:
Nowadays the utilization of river related information for logistics purposes is under-exploited. Interconnection between information systems of several transport and logistics operators with the RIS system extended by additional software modules, which enables mutual information exchange necessary to overall transport chain planning with integration of inland waterway transport represents the essential idea of project RISING.

Role of KIOS:

• WP 1 – State of the art/Requirement Analysis
  Contribution on RIS related tasks providing knowledge on current RIS services and operators
• WP 2 – Development Integrated Solutions/Event management Service
  Elaboration of system specification of the Event Management components
  Implementation of SW modules and integration into existing information systems.
  Testing of SW modules, documentation of these tests and preparation of SW modules for the demonstration.
• WP 4 – Development RIS-TLS (River information transport logistics services)
  System requirements analysis, preparation of technical concept
  Preparation of organisational and operational concepts, proposal of system architecture, specification of user roles & rights and definition of user interfaces
  Implementation and configuration of RIS&TLS services, creation of functional SW prototype
  Creation of test scenarios, preparation of test protocols, documentation of test
• WP 5 – Demonstration
  Demonstration of outcomes achieved in WP 2, 4 by establishment the prototypes into daily operation
• WP 6 – Evaluation
  and validation Contribution to evaluation of transport & logistics subjects selected for the project outcomes demonstration
• WP 7 – Dissemination
  Presentation of project ideas and its goals, cooperation with other project partners
