(cont'd) — design of a safety case with Copernicus images to define the waterways to be tested; — analysis of how much information is needed to be transmitted to have updated inland electronic navigational charts and the minimum speed of communication to guarantee a safe operation, including whether the vessel needs to download the information of the fairway in the port or can do while navigating; — implementation of several demonstrations along selected inland waterways where it is expected that in the future autonomous vessels will coexist with manually piloted vessels.
The aim is to demonstrate feasibility and added value in line with the Commission guidelines on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).
The vessels in the demonstration shall be equipped at least with: — High-end GNSS receivers that include Galileo authentication and EGNOS. — High-bandwidth communication means to: — download the information from Copernicus related to the fairway; — download the information of the hull contour of all the vessels navigating in the same inland waterway; — send to the monitoring centre all the sensors information; — receive from the monitoring centre control inputs in case that there is the need to remotely operate the vessel. — Contribution to draft a new standard for minimum requirements for EU Space Data to guarantee safe autonomous vessel navigation in inland waterways in support of future regulatory initiatives.
