The waterway Danube as smart transport infrastructure of the future


== Abstract ==

Providing efficient and environmentally friendly multi-modal transport infrastructures is the key to economic<br> growth, competitiveness, and sustainability. Developing technologies and services for an increased availability<br> and accessibility of inland waterways is a way of strengthening this mode of transport as a competitive alternative<br> to road and rail. In Austria viadonau is taking this approach a few steps further, aiming to establish the waterway<br> Danube as a smart transport infrastructure of the future. The paper will provide an overview on recent<br> achievements and ongoing developments allowing for a seamless cyclic process in the field of waterway<br> infrastructure management. With semi-automatic analysis and measure planning, viadonau's Waterway Asset<br> Management System (WAMS) enables the implementation of pro-active maintenance strategies, including an<br> ongoing assessment and optimization of planned maintenance and construction activities. In addition, the<br> developed services compute all actual information which is needed for an efficient management and navigation.
