RGO Communications Ltd., commissioned by via donau –
Österreichische Wasserstraßen-Gesellschaft mbH, is developing and implementing
the national Lock Management System (LMS) – an integrated IT solution for
managing and monitoring lock operations along the nine Austrian Danube locks.
The project covers all stages of software development – from
requirements specification and system concept, through user interface
prototyping, implementation, installation, testing and multi-year maintenance
and technical support.
LMS enables complete digital management of lock operations,
including vessel passage recording, automated lock cycle planning, real-time
lock chamber visualization, shift and incident management, as well as reporting
and data exchange with related river information systems (DoRIS, CEERIS, EuRIS,
EHDB).
The system integrates advanced functionalities such as
automatic lock scheduling, failure and notification management, user and access
administration, and data synchronization through internal and external APIs.
This project represents a significant milestone in the
digital transformation of inland waterway traffic management, enhancing safety,
interoperability, and operational efficiency within the European River
Information Services (RIS) framework.
UkrRIS-Danube – River Information Services on the Ukrainian Danube
RGO Communications
Ltd., in cooperation with Periskal BV, is providing expert and technical
support within the UkrRIS-Danube project – River Information Services on the
Ukrainian Danube.
The UkrRIS-Danube
project is focused on the development of River Information Services (RIS) in
Ukraine, with particular emphasis on the Ukrainian section of the Danube River,
including the ports of Reni and Izmail. The project aims to align Ukrainian RIS
systems with European standards and enable their integration with the European
EuRIS and CEERIS platforms.
The project includes
the development and specification of key RIS systems and services, including
fairway information services, traffic information services, traffic management
support, vessel tracking and tracing systems, corridor management services, and
digital tools that contribute to safer and more efficient inland waterway
transport.
RGO Communications
contributes through its experience in the development and implementation of RIS
systems, interoperable information solutions, and digital tools for inland
navigation. Its activities include expert support in project documentation,
technical coordination, system specification, quality and risk management, and
stakeholder communication.
The project represents
an important step in the modernization of inland navigation in Ukraine. It
contributes to safer, more efficient, and more transparent traffic on the
Danube, better integration with the European inland waterway network, and the
strengthening of the Danube’s role within European transport corridors.
