Compris

Library > EU projects executed > Compris

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,
COMPRIS was a EU FP 5 financed programme, executed from September 2002 to August 2005.

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.
