Policy context and background
RIS aim to enhance the safety, efficiency,
environmental friendliness of inland
navigation as well as to improve the interface
with other transport modes
RIS have been regulated since 2005 through:
• Directive 2005/44/EC (RIS Directive)
• 5 Commission Regulations (guidelines and
technical specifications)
3
Policy context and background
Regulation 1315/2013 on TEN-T Guidelines
Transport infrastructure requirements
• Member States shall ensure that rivers, canals and lakes of
the TEN-T network are equipped with RIS (Art. 15)
• RIS are a priority for inland waterway infrastructure
development (Art. 16)
CEF Regulation 1316/2013
Annex 1 Part 1 list of pre-identified projects
• Telematic applications systems for road, rail, inland
waterways and vessels (ITS, ERTMS, RIS and VTMIS) are
horizontal priorities
4
Policy context and background
• Different pace of implementation of RIS accross
Europe
• Evaluation of RIS implementation for period
2006-2011 points to solid achievements but also
to gaps (external study published in July 2014, available on
internet)
• Important to fill gaps in order to fulfill the
requirements of the Directive
• RIS policy review conducted by EC on-going

RIS Call: objectives and priorities
Part of MAP Funding Objective 3
Deploy harmonised RIS (on-board and land-based)
components to support traffic and transport management in
inland navigation to:
1. Complete the implementation of the RIS Directive
2. Implement outcome of succesful studies & pilots carried
out under previous projects
3. Develop further RIS services and applications with a focus
on safety and in particular on:
i) tangible benefits for inland navigation
actors and users
ii) better integration of inland navigation into the
transport logistic chain
6
Expected RIS activities
RIS Actions can generally consist of the following:
• Works
• Studies
• Studies with pilot activities
(definition available in
the general MAP funding objective 3 call text)
• Combination of studies and works
7
Expected RIS activities
Activities (studies or works) to focus on delivering RIS
on-board and on-land basic components such as:
• infrastructure (e.g. inland-AIS base stations)
• key RIS technologies (e.g. inland-ECDIS, notices to
skippers, vessel tracking and tracing system, etc)
• equipment including fixed or mobile hardware and software
(eg. servers, computers, tablets, transponders, etc.)
• services and applications (e.g. fairway and traffic
information, calamity abatement support, etc)
• inter-linkage with components of telematic applications of
other transport modes and logistic services
8
Expected RIS activities:
additional activties
In addition to delivering the basic components,
activities can also consist of:
• Testing and validating the technical feasibility,
interoperability and compatibility of technologies, systems,
services and applications
• Developing the necessary environment to support a coherent
deployment of RIS (eg. for electronic reporting
requirements)
• Carrying out maintenance and amendment of standards and
technical specifications
9
Expected RIS activities:
additional activties
• Definition and implementation of harmonised concepts for
(cross-border) exchange of data between authorities, IWT
operators and/or users
• Interconnection of national systems with EU systems (eg.
EHDB) as well as related technical and administrative
agreements
• Further enhancement and fine-tuning of RIS key
technologies, systems, services and applications to take
account of state-of-the-art technologies
10
Funding
• Indicative budget: €25,000,000
• Funding rates
•
•
•
Studies (including pilots): 50%
Works: 50% for land-based RIS components
Works: 20% for on-board RIS components
• Participation of neighbouring countries in RIS projects can be
supported under certain conditions
