Content and results

COMPRIS dealt with the pan-European standardisation and harmonisation of River Information Services (RIS), which is a pre-requisite for full installation of RIS on all navigable waterways. The outcome of COMPRIS was a pan-European consensus on the RIS architecture, RIS system elements, applications and their interfaces. Therefore, COMPRIS was an important milestone towards the pan-European installation of RIS. Within the Danube countries, the main resulta are:

  • Development of RIS applications for governmental and commercial use and test at the RIS test centre    
  • Set up and demonstration of a fully operational RIS environment at a test stretch of the Danube in Austria, Slovakia and Hungary and at the Black Sea Canal
  • Enhancement of cross border procedures by means of electronic exchange of traffic and transport data
  • Enhancement of the standards for RIS technologies (Inland ECDIS, Inland AIS), the definition of the required steps for set up and operation of RIS in each country.
