AIS-ATON & Waterway Design Waterway Design Concepts using AIS-ATON INSERT SAN FRAN Pictorial here
AIS-ATON & Waterway Design AIS-ATON USE CASES: Use Example Pros Cons Landfall Approach Safe Water Buoys?? Discrepancy Response Historically Unreliable Virtual Wreck Ice, Vessel Allisions???? Disaster Response Temp Changes Hurricane, High Water, Flooding?? Dredging, Channel Alterations??
AIS-ATON Additional Waterway Design Considerations 7nm 7nm Nominal Operational Nominal Operational Range of AIS-ATON #2 is Range of AIS-ATON #2 is 7nm at 187T (???) 7nm at 187T (???)
Waterway Analysis Management System (WAMS) Nationwide Level of Service Review Engage stakeholders to determine ATON requirements. Use WAMS like process & local stakeholder input to shape national level policy & provide consistency. Regional steering groups to provide guidance o Atlantic and Gulf Sea Coast System (completed) o Pacific Sea Coast System (ends in Fall 2018) o Western Rivers (ends in fall 2018) o Deep Water (Maintained and Not Maintained) (to commence spring 2019) o Shallow Water (Maintained and Not Maintained) (FY20) o ICW (FY20)
Waterway Analysis Management System (WAMS) Data Analytics: Quantitative vs. Anecdotal AIS -Vessel Type Data -Heat Maps -Continuous Observation -Design Vessel Ratification USACE Data -Waterborne Statistics (Cargo) ehydro Channel -Framework & Condition Reports (inactive projects)
Waterway Analysis Management System (WAMS) Understand current user requirements Update policy governing waterway design criteria Redefine National Levels of Service that will promote the safety of the future MTS on US Navigable Waters What are the navigation requirements today? The Aids to Navigation Evolution
Waterway Analysis Management System (WAMS) Desired Outcome Next-generation waterway system management and design o o o Validate navigational requirements Waterway marking based on established levels of service Transmission of e-msi through immediately accessible electronic methods

Local Notice to Mariners Overhaul LNM has become an inconsistent catch all of marine information LNM has become cumbersome due to its size and.pdf limitations NACEN statistics for LNM usage show extremely low download and subscription requests Clearly a change is needed
Local Notice to Mariners Overhaul GIS & Phone/Tablet Applications LNM Envisioned Output Formats Electronic Charting (.KML,.CSV, Shape Files, etc.) S-1XX Product Specifications & AIS Messages and yes, there will be a Human readable report
