Project overview
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS), originally developed for aviation users can also be used by inland waterway River Information Services (RIS) to improve the safety of navigation by achieving the minimum performance requirements.

The IWETT project will achieve significant
adoption of EGNOS based service in the inland waterway transport sector, namely on the Danube in Hungary, on the Spree-Oder Waterway in Germany and on the Guadalquivir river in Spain. In these three countries the authorities and organisations responsible for inland waterway information systems and services decided to execute final pilot tests and after validation use EGNOS based service as important part of their RIS system.

The project will contribute greatly to EGNOS adoption in inland waterway sector by implementing/upgrading EGNOS based infrastructure in three countries (HU, DE, ES)) in Europe. In addition a special inland waterway user terminal concept (INAV concept) will be elaborated and tested by the German responsible authority (WSV).

For an evaluation of the on-board dynamic performance, the IWETT project will equip the vessels participating in the field trials with higher quality GNSS system components.
