Researchers are increasingly turning to roadway traffic flow theory to propose effective solutions for challenges such as traffic congestion and low efficiency in waterway transportation. However, since roadway traffic flow theory was originally developed for highway transportation, its direct application to waterways raises questions due to the inherent differences between the two modes of transportation. Meanwhile, research results and methodologies from other transportation modes can provide valuable insights for studying waterway traffic flow theory. Addressing these questions is essential for advancing research in this field. This research conducts a comparative analysis to explore the similarities and differences between typical transportation modes and waterway transportation, examining how these distinctions affect the application of existing traffic flow theories. It also categorizes recent research outcomes related to traffic flow theories from various transportation modes based on their relevance to waterway traffic flow theory. The discussion includes the applicability of these models and methods in the context of waterway transportation, considering the unique characteristics of waterway traffic. Finally, this study highlights current challenges in applying traffic flow theories to waterways and offers suggestions for future research.

Topicality. In the contemporary landscape, inland waterway transport holds a significant position in the global movement of commodities. The potential for increasing the share of inland waterway transport in various modes of transportation is very significant. Compared to other modes of transport, which often face problems of congestion and capacity, inland waterway transport is reliable, energy efficient, and has high throughput. Developed countries are striving to promote and strengthen the competitiveness of inland waterways in the transport system and facilitate their integration into intermodal logistics chains. Based on this, the potential of inland waterway transport in Ukraine requires a comprehensive study and exploration of opportunities to improve it.Aim and tasks. To study the theoretical and methodological foundations for the development of river cargo transportation and develop recommendations for increasing the potential of inland waterway transport in Ukraine.Materials and Methods. The conceptual and methodological basis of the study is the fundamental provisions of leading foreign and domestic scientists and experts in the theory and practice of market development patterns and conditions of inland waterway transport. The information base of the study is the regulatory legal acts of Ukraine, the European Union, official publications of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, the State Service of Sea and River Transport of Ukraine, as well as the results of the author's own research. In the process of conducting the study, the following general scientific and special methods and approaches were applied: systemic and structural approach, comparative analysis, methods of statistical analysis, functional synthesis and economic and mathematical methods, as well as an analysis of the inland waterway transport sector of Ukraine with a graphical presentation of information using methods of economic and statistical analysis, detailing and comparison.Research results. The scientific and applied principles of determining the potential and competitive advantages of the inland waterway transport sector are studied, taking into account cargo flows, market structure and characteristics of its agents, factors that constrain the development of IWT on both the supply and demand sides, peculiarities of legal regulation, infrastructure characteristics and technical capabilities of economic entities in the studied sector, as well as the importance in ensuring the socio--economic recovery of Ukraine, which allows to identify and systematize the strengths and weaknesses of the sector. The article also forms an algorithm for strengthening the potential and competitive advantages of the inland waterway transport of Ukraine, which is based on the use of legal, regulatory, investment, cooperation, and information and communication tools.Conclusion. Inland waterway transport is more environmentally friendly, safer and more economical than any other mode of transportation. Today, Ukraine's inland waterways play a secondary role in the country's transportation system. To enhance the potential of Ukraine's inland waterway transport, it is necessary to: develop sectoral transport programs with a balanced distribution of cargo flows between modes of transport; create a favorable investment climate; actively introduce innovative technologies; create a competitive market for foreign and national agents in the field of inland waterway transportation, as well as favorable conditions for the development of multimodal transportation. These measures will contribute to strengthening the potential of Ukraine's inland waterway transport, especially in the postwar period.In order to support the Ukrainian economy and provide more diverse transportation and logistics opportunities, the development of inland waterways should be promoted. This will create a more efficient and sustainable logistics system with green transportation, which in turn will have a significant impact on the socio--economic development and environment of Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
Inland water transport, a critical component of integrated transportation systems, relies on the unobstructed status of critical waterways to ensure network efficiency. Firstly, a weighted topological network was constructed based on waterway class and length. The Leiden algorithm was then employed to divide the inland waterway network into communities, with community bridges identified as critical waterways. Finally, attack simulation experiments were conducted to verify the methodology. Results revealed that the Jiangsu inland waterway network exhibits a distinct community structure, and the regional division is closely aligned with the actual river system. The rapid performance degradation under community bridge attacks confirmed the validity of the critical waterway identification method. Furthermore, a recommended method for waterway class assignment was explored in the inland waterway weighting network. The innovative identification and assessment of critical waterways from the perspective of community detection breaks through the limitations of traditional methods that rely on betweenness centrality and waterway class. Vessel traffic flow across different waterway classes was analyzed using the Automatic Identification System (AIS) data, enabling tailored management strategies for critical waterways. This research provides theoretical support for an in-depth understanding of the structure and function of the inland waterway network, guiding policymaking and promoting the efficiency and security of inland water transport.

Full textAbstract:
Transportation modeling within the context of extreme weather events induced by climate change is critical to understand and improve the resilience of transport systems as the world moves further into the 21st century. Among transportation modes, navigable inland waterways in particular face severe challenges to their future reliability as a result of extreme weather events. The economic implications of inland waterway operational efficiencies on commercial shipping have been studied in detail for several decades. Less well understood, however, are the effects of tow operation procedures enacted during adverse river conditions that have resulted from extreme weather events. This paper describes a model of a waterway segment that simulates stakeholder decision making and tow operator behavior to provide stakeholders with insights into the possible benefits of waterway action plans as operational guidance documents. Simulations run for a test area of the navigable inland waterway system indicated that operational procedures recommended in waterway action plans might have a significant impact on waterway operational efficiencies, which suggests that the model may be a useful decision-support tool for waterway stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
A framework for risk assessment due to inland waterway transportation of dangerous goods is designed based on all possible event types that may be caused by the inland transportation of dangerous goods. The objective of this study is to design a framework for calculating the risks associated with changes in the transportation of dangerous goods along inland waterways. The framework is based on the traditional definition of risk and is designed for sensitive riverside environmental conditions in inland waterways. From the perspective of transportation management, this paper introduced the concept of transportability of dangerous goods and constructed a transportability assessment framework, which consists of a multi-index evaluation system and a single metric model. The result of the assessment is as an auxiliary basis to determine the transportation permit and control intensity of dangerous goods in an inland waterway specific voyage. The methodology is illustrated using a case study of transporting fireworks in the Yangtze River.

Full textAbstract:
Serving as critical sustainable transportation infrastructure, inland waterways provide dual socioeconomic and ecological value by (1) facilitating high-efficiency freight logistics through cost-effective bulk cargo transport while stimulating regional economic growth, and (2) delivering essential ecosystem services including flood regulation, water resource preservation, and biodiversity conservation. This study establishes a stakeholder-centered risk assessment framework to enhance decision-making of waterway engineering projects and promote the sustainable development of Inland Waterway Transport. We propose a three-layer approach: (1) identifying key stakeholders in the decision-making stage of waterway engineering projects through multi-dimensional criteria; (2) listing and classifying decision-making risks from the perspectives of managers, users, and other stakeholders; (3) applying the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to prioritize key risks and proposing a risk assessment model based on fuzzy reasoning theory to evaluate decision-making risks under uncertain conditions. This framework was applied to the Yangtze River Trunk Line Wuhan–Anqing Waterway Regulation Project. The results show that the risk ranking is managers, users, and other stakeholders, among which the risk of engineering freight demand is particularly prominent. This suggests that we need to pay attention to optimizing material transportation and operational organization, promote the development of large-scale ships, and realize the diversification of ship types and transportation organizations. This study combines fuzzy reasoning with stakeholder theory, providing a replicable tool for the Waterway Management Authority to address the complex sustainability challenges in global waterway development projects.

Full textAbstract:
With the development of China's shipping industry, the maritime cargo transportation industry chain is becoming more and more complete, resulting in more and more problems. Among them, the transportation of dangerous goods by waterway is also receiving more and more attention. As an important method of transporting dangerous goods, the safety of waterway transportation is particularly important. In order to ensure the safety of waterway dangerous goods transportation, it is necessary to establish a scientific and reasonable safety evaluation index system, and conduct a comprehensive and systematic safety evaluation of waterway dangerous goods transportation. Firstly, this paper takes the transportation of dangerous goods by waterway in Weihai City as an example, and selects five primary evaluation indicators, including environment, personnel, ships, goods, and management, as well as their secondary and tertiary evaluation indicators, based on the actual situation; secondly, a safety index system for the transportation of dangerous goods by water in Weihai City has been constructed, and an example analysis has been conducted on it; finally, safety management measures for the transportation of dangerous goods by waterway in Weihai City were proposed.

Abstract This study addresses the question of how trans-national regulations could stimulate environmentally friendly and socially responsible transportation. Three scenarios are developed for 2010, taking into account various costs related to road, rail, and inland waterway transportation, including costs to society and environmental costs. The attractiveness of different containerized transport modes is calculated for a representative freight corridor in the European Union. The modal split is adjusted for the capacity limitations of the different modes. Analysis of the results reveals that dedicated cargo rail and inland waterways, the two more socially responsible transportation modes, are already relatively attractive to shippers, but lack sufficient capacity to deal with forecasted demand. Further legislative interventions, such as increased taxation, would therefore only increase the financial burden to shippers and society. Important investments appear necessary for the further development of dedicated cargo rail and inland waterways.

Full textAbstract:
As recent years have shown, inland waterways are prone to hydroclimatic impacts. Dry spells, such as in 2003, 2015 or 2018, significantly affected freight transport as well as passenger shipping along Central Europe’s major inland waterways, such as the River Rhine. At the same time, heavy rainfall and the proceeding sea-level rise increasingly hamper the management of numerous inland waterways, such as the Kiel Canal. As prognostic information enables waterway stakeholders to take preventive measures regarding hydroclimatic impacts, the demand for extended-range hydrological forecasts tailored to the management and use of waterways is significantly increasing. Based on preliminary studies, the Federal Institute of Hydrology started developing preliminary extended-range forecast products for relevant gauges at the German waterways since 2015. Step-by-step operational services supplying these new forecast products have been set-up. For the River Rhine, a ten-day forecast has been publicly available since 2019. In 2022, a six-week forecast for Rhine and Elbe will further extend the waterway-related forecasting services in Germany. This article provides insight into the setting of these extended navigation-related forecasting services, where the communication of forecast uncertainties is still a major challenge.

Full textAbstract:
Water transportation is an important part of comprehensive transportation and plays a critical role in a country’s economic development. The world’s cargo transportation is dominated by waterway transportation, and maritime transportation Systems (MTS) are the main part of the waterway transportation system. The flow of goods plays a key role in the economic development of the ports along the route. The sustainable development of maritime transportation, the maritime transportation economy and the environment have great practical significance. In this paper, the principle of the BP (back propagation) neural network is used to predict the freight transportation volume of China’s waterways, and the genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the BP neural network, so as to construct the GA-BPNN (back propagation neural network) prediction model. By collecting and processing the data of China’s water cargo transport volume, the experimental results show that prediction accuracy is significantly improved, which proves the reliability of the method. The experimental methods and results can provide certain reference information for the optimization, upgrade, and more scientific management of sustainable MTS in China and internationally, provide key information for port cargo handling plans, help optimize port layout, and improve transportation capacity and efficiency.

Topicality. Currently, the demand for transport by inland waterways is constantly growing, especially in economically developed countries. In order to maintain the national economy and create a more efficient and sustainable logistics system in Ukraine, transportation by inland waterways must be developed, because inland waterway transport has a number of advantages over other modes of transport, which creates the preconditions for changing logistics routes. To reduce transport costs, improve infrastructure and logistics in the face of uncertainty, the relationship between the stakeholders of rail and road transport with representatives of water transport is important. Reorientation of transportation from road transport to inland waterway transport, intensification of international trade and attraction of new freight flows to inland waterway transport will contribute to the overall growth of the country's economy and is possible subject to liberalization of transportation.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the economic and environmental feasibility of transporting goods by inland waterway transport in the context of the global trend of the need to preserve the environment and rational use of resources.Research results. The port infrastructure of Ukrainian rivers also does not meet modern requirements and is actually in decline. Most of the ports are located in the central areas of cities, causing the destruction of city roads by trucks that are sent for loading / unloading at these ports. In the context of the global trend of the need to preserve the environment for most countries of the world, inland waterway transport is the cheapest and most environmentally friendly mode of transport, suitable for transporting significant volumes of products, mainly raw materials. In Ukraine, the volume of cargo transported by river transport has significantly decreased over the past decade. Of the available volumes of freight transport by river transport, building materials, grain and metallurgy products prevail in the nomenclature. A certain impetus to the development of inland waterway transport was the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Inland Waterway Transport", which outlined the prospects for increasing the cargo turnover of river transport. Considering the volume of emissions from river transport, it is the most environmentally friendly compared to road transport. At the same time, the existing rolling stock of water transport is capable of replacing several thousand trucks. It has been established that the Dnieper basin plays the main role in the transportation of domestic cargo and passengers. More than 90% of all river transport in the country is carried out along the Dnieper and its largest tributaries Pripyat and Desna. However, the low operational characteristics of the fleet are one of the factors holding back the development of freight traffic on inland waterways. The four selected shipping companies provide cargo transportation on the Dnieper and Danube rivers, and are also capable of ensuring the potential development and competitive advantages of Ukrainian water transport.Conclusion. The studies carried out made it possible to substantiate the economic and environmental feasibility of transporting goods by inland water transport in Ukraine. Based on the determination of the share of transportations by inland water transport in the EU countries and Ukraine, the potential opportunities for the development of this area were established, taking into account other similar indicators, as well as the growth of export flows of grain and metallurgical products from the central part of Ukraine. Therefore, the development of domestic inland waterways is economically necessary, expedient and will have a positive effect for the entire country and the economy as a whole, given the low level of pollution and environmental pressure on air, land, water resources, biodiversity, which, in turn, affect climate change. , ecosystems in general and public health. Taking into account the total length of the navigable routes of Ukraine and the tendency to reduce the existing fleet, due to moral and physical aging, it is important to assist in attracting investments in the river fleet, will provide potential technical and technological opportunities for the development of all inland water transport and its key players.

The organization of transportation by inland water transport involves taking into account the overall characteristics and navigational features of waterways, the choice of a vessel to work on the route, ensuring the safety of navigation and the economic efficiency of the voyage. One of the main advantages of barge-towing combinations is the possibility of their formation according to the specified dimensions of the waterway. The purpose of this work is to overcome the linear approach currently used in the formation of the ship’s composition, and to develop mathematical foundations for describing the barge-towing combination control system, a particular task is to optimize the barge-towing combination structure for local restrictions of waterway sections. To solve this problem, the possibility of reorganizing the ship’s composition directly on the route, depending on the conditions for the passage of a particular section of inland waterways is supposed to study in the work; it in the future will improve the transportation efficiency and ensure the transportation of more cargo per voyage. For the mathematical description of inland waterways, their natural characteristics are used in the work, sections coincided in restrictive features are identified, that is, each section of inland waterways, depending on its type, has a certain set of restrictions related to overall characteristics that must be taken into account when organizing navigation. The simulation of the movement of a ship’s combination along sections of waterways of various types, including a curved section, performed by graphic-analytical methods, shows the limitations arising when entering a turn and passing through artificial narrowings of the fairway, and also reflects the ability to pass the entire route due to a change in configuration when maintaining the total carrying capacity of the ship’s combination. As a result, mathematical relations and a system of inequalities that determine the choice of a section of inland waterways for the operation of ship’s combinations in a certain (specified) configuration and planning their reformation according to the given characteristics of the waterway are obtained.

Waterway transportation is a very ancient mobility solution. Amazon region represents a good case study, where waterway transport played and is still playing a very important role. Nevertheless, passenger waterway transportation lacks economic models that help in designing and implementing strategies towards sustainability. In this work, a cost model of passenger waterway transportation was developed based on the assumptions of activity-based costing and used linear programming for cost optimization under demand and service level restrictions, with an objective-function of profit maximization of service. The model was applied in a passenger waterway transportation company to three crossings in Belém city - Brazil, for passengers and cargo, and vehicle transportation, operating on trips between Belém and Marajó Island. Different simulations in order to explore the opportunities and conditions of operational cost reductions were made. The search was for the best relation between cost and profit, i. e., model parameters include variable cost, profit and maximum number of possible trips. On results, cost reduction alternatives were established in order to reach the maximum profit and number of trips. The model proved to be useful for the design of sustainable waterway transportation services through the analysis of feasible and effective cost reduction strategies.

Full textAbstract:
As an important transportation link between eastern and western economic zones of China, the Yangtze River waterway has been globally ranked first in relation to freight volume since 2010, and the density of ship traffic has also increased significantly. However, the inland navigation system has been increasingly threatened by traffic congestion, which is more serious in the controlled waterways of the upper Yangtze River. In this study, the distribution laws of ship traffic flow and service time in the controlled waterway were analyzed, indicating that the traffic flow obeys the Poisson distribution, and the service time obeys a negative exponential distribution. Thereafter, by simplifying the queuing processes and rules, the M/M/1 queuing service model was established to calculate ship queuing indicators in a controlled waterway. It was found that the ship queuing indicators varied greatly among different controlled waterways. Compared with downstream ships, upstream ships usually had longer queuing lengths and times, which were also more affected by the increasing number of ship arrivals and service times. Consequently, a dimensionless loss coefficient was proposed to quantify the influence of the controlled waterway on the navigation capacity. As the service time and number of ships increased, the loss coefficient also increased. The results of this study could provide references for understanding the ship queuing problem, and thereby the assessment of navigation capacity and anchorage constructions in a controlled waterway.

The option of choosing to continue the route of goods arriving on waterway routes and have destinations within its territory and vice versa of internal waterways depends on many factors. We intend to analyze the optimizing conditions of inland waterway transport so that the line of route connections integrate inland water transport as a viable advantageous option. Inland waterway transport accounts for about 7 to 9% of all goods transported within the European territory, the growth opportunity being viable only if this option of transport substantially reduces its weak parts that determine orientation to car or railway transportation. We have to observe carefully the causes of low mobility generated by waterway routes, speed and rhythm of transport streams to different destinations, quality and timeliness of the service provided, the active involvement and integrated of ports as logistic hubs essential in the combined transport of goods. An important step that can generate growth of inland water transport option is how they respond to the request of transport based on development of voyage planning concept, objective that we try to detail in all aspects.

Large cities are widely recognized as major contributors to climate change due to their high energy demand and heavy reliance on on-road transportation. Urban mobility today brings additional concerns about predicted demands arising from people's necessities of living in cities and their respective needs to travel in different forms, either for personal or professional purposes. This study based on a literature review and case studies analysis proposes a framework to support the implementation of Sustainable Inland Waterway Transportation Systems as an alternative to road transport. The proposed framework is tested in São Paulo City (Brazil). In the implementation of a sustainable inland waterway transportation system, the following factors were identified as strategic: user characteristics and behaviour, operators’ characteristics and behaviour, investment in infrastructures, regulation and taxation, and Government. Infrastructure and strategic planning are areas that deserve further investigation. Research could focus on developing strategies for efficient routing, taking into account various potential limitations, water navigability, vessel capacity, traffic management, and transshipment locations. Intermodality between different transport modes is a crucial area that needs to be addressed to ensure full integration into the multimodal network. Investigating connectivity and information sharing systems between modes would enhance the overall efficiency and attractiveness of waterway transportation in the city's ecosystem.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Nowadays predicting transportation costs is more and more important. Most significant part of inland navigation's costs are the costs of fuel. Fuel consumption is related to operating conditions of ship's propulsion system and its resistance. On inland waterways the ship resistance is strictly related to the depth of the waterway. There is a tendency to build a formula that allows its user to calculate the resistance of any inland waterway vessel, but researches claim that most of them are accurate only for particular types of ships and/or operating conditions. The paper presents selected methods of calculating ship resistance on inland waterways. These methods are examined for different types of ships and different conditions using results of model tests. The performed comparison enabled selecting the best option for pushboats and pushed barge trains, but also showed that any of the tested methods is good enough to be used for calculating the resistance of motor cargo vessels. For this reason, based on known equations and using the regression method, the authors have formulated a new method to calculate the resistance of motor cargo vessels on limited waterway. The method makes use of ship's geometry and depth of waterway in relation to ship's speed. Correlating the ship's speed with its resistance and going further with fuel consumption, enables to calculate the costs of voyage depending on the delivery time. The comparison of the methods shows that the new equation provides good accuracy in all examined speed ranges and all examined waterway depths.

Abstract This study addresses the question of how trans-national regulations could stimulate environmentally friendly and socially responsible transportation. Three scenarios are developed for 2010, taking into account various costs related to road, rail, and inland waterway transportation, including costs to society and environmental costs. The attractiveness of different containerized transport modes is calculated for a representative freight corridor in the European Union. The modal split is adjusted for the capacity limitations of the different modes. Analysis of the results reveals that dedicated cargo rail and inland waterways, the two more socially responsible transportation modes, are already relatively attractive to shippers, but lack sufficient capacity to deal with forecasted demand. Further legislative interventions, such as increased taxation, would therefore only increase the financial burden to shippers and society. Important investments appear necessary for the further development of dedicated cargo rail and inland waterways.

This paper discusses the factors that militate against the growth and sustainability of the Nigerian Inland waterway ports from secondary data and inductive research perspective. The Nigerian nation has adequate coverage of major inland waters that are either navigable at present or potentially navigable if a waterway clearing and dredging is implemented. Generally speaking, Nigeria has enormous inland water potential that is capable of maximally reducing the pressure on other modes of transportation especially road, in the transportation of heavy equipment and bulk goods both solid and liquid. Sustainable Inland waterway ports and transportation are undoubtedly a panacea for job creation and promotion of commerce at local and riverine community levels through boat building, fabrication, and transport.

In recent decades, many countries of the world are faced with the problem of congestion in land transport due to the increase in the volume of transported goods. As a result, much attention is paid to inland waterway transport, which has significant untapped potential. It is also important that inland waterway transport (IWT), in comparison with alternative modes of transport, has such advantages as low cost of transportation, reliability, and environmental friendliness. This article analyzes the experience of financing water transport infrastructure facilities in foreign countries with a developed network of inland waterways, namely, Germany and the United States. The purpose of the work is to generalize the practices of attracting funds for the development of the infrastructure of inland water transport.

This paper deals with transportation technology regarding links between power unit and cargo space. These links can be divided into two groups: rigid and flexible. Rigid link, established between power unit and cargo space, is dominant in maritime and road transport (sea ships and trucks), and occasionally in transport on inland waterways (self- propelled barges). Flexible link is used in the railroad transport (systems with trailers and semi trailers), and in inland waterway transport (push - towing and pulling systems, and combinations of the systems). The main goal of this research is determination of possible link types and organization of the means of transportation.

New applications of a fuzzy expert system (FES) for direct control of traffic lights in the areas of locks and one-way sections on inland waterways are presented. FES implements the knowledge of experts in the field of water transport on a controller. FES-SL (application in ship locks) was created for a single-chamber two-way ship lock. The system decides when the lock process will be performed depending on the current requests and queues. FES-1WS (application in one-way sections) was created for a canal network with sections where one-way vessel traffic is allowed due to the width limitation. The system is applicable for different traffic densities (from 10 to 90 vessels per day) and different lengths of one-way sections (from 2km to 24km).

The cost of tow delays is a serious problem in a waterway network. One way to reduce the delay cost is to increase capacity at waterway locks. Planners must determine how much additional capacity to provide at particular lock sites and when to implement the capacity expansion projects. Answers for such project sizing and timing problems are difficult to obtain analytically. The use of a new approach for optimizing through simulation, called simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA), is investigated. This approach, which seeks optimal values for all decision variables after each pair of simulation runs, is quite promising for optimizing large problems relatively fast. A small numerical example tests how this simulation and optimization algorithm may be used to optimize lock capacities and implementation times.

Full textAbstract:
Inland waterway transportation plays a pivotal role in advancing economic development and nurturing sustainable progress. It serves as a vital conduit linking communities, industries, and markets, thereby facilitating the seamless flow of essential commodities and fostering regional integration. However, in today’s era, marked by a resolute commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability, inland shipping confronts formidable challenges, particularly pertaining to emission pollution and the escalating costs of fuel. These challenges represent significant impediments to the pursuit of environmentally conscious and sustainable growth by shipping companies. This research endeavor is geared towards the creation of a mathematical model that takes into account various factors, including the types of waterways, temporal constraints, and punctual arrival at the port of discharge. The primary objective is to empower shipping companies to make informed decisions about optimal sailing speeds and the most opportune time windows for entering one-way waterway segments. This, in turn, leads to reductions in fuel costs and waiting times for shipping companies, all while achieving cost minimization and mitigating emissions issues in inland waterway transportation. Ultimately, this research advances the cause of green and sustainable development in the inland waterway shipping sector. Specifically, this study focuses on routes that involve the dynamic transition between one-way and two-way segments. To accomplish this, an integer programming (IP) model is proposed to meticulously analyze the ideal sailing speed for each segment of the route and determine the optimal windows for accessing single-direction channels, thus representing a multistage decision-making process. Meanwhile, the model’s reliability is substantiated through a rigorous comparative assessment against three benchmark strategies (EAS, LAS, and MAS). In our experiments, the optimization model yielded a total cost for the entire inland waterway amounting to $80,626.20. This figure stands below the total costs of $87,118.14 under the EAS strategy and $83,494.70 under the MAS strategy (the LAS strategy failed to meet the port of discharge deadline), thereby conclusively validating its ability to guide vessels to their port of discharge within prescribed schedules, all while reducing overall operational costs and promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible practices.

The development of hydrogen energy in the Russian Federation has been interfered by a number of serious problems and issues connected with the innovative nature of this sector of economics. The problems include lack of experience in production, storage and transportation of “green” hydrogen. The development results within the Concept for the development of hydrogen energy present the Russian Federation as the largest exporter of hydrogen by 2050. The Concept estimates the future hydrogen production volumes to be as high as 200,000 tons by 2024, from 2 to 12 million ton by 2035 and from 15 to 50 million ton by 2050. Currently, there are projects on producing “green” hydrogen through electrolysis of water at hydroelectric stations. Moreover, there are different methods of hydrogen storage used in the Russian Federation. However, there is no transportation infrastructure for “green” hydrogen. Therefore, in order to build up transportation infrastructure the authors use economic calculations to consider and actualize the routes for transportation of the “green” hydrogen. To evaluate the profitability the infrastructure and the routes were created for transporting the “green” hydrogen as the export raw material produced in the Niznekamskya HES (Naberezhnye Chelny, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia) to the EU countries. The authors consider waterways, land routes and pipelines for delivering the “green hydrogen” as the transportation facilities and the cargo routes. They evaluate the indicators which characterize the “green” hydrogen transportation by means of waterway, railway and automobile transport and pipelines. The authors estimate the comparative payback periods for the hydrogen transportation by means of waterway, railway and automobile transport and pipelines along their main routes according to the hydrogen market price.

This paper focuses on the water transportation of the Songhua River(松花江), which flows across the Manchuria region, and analyzes how ancient Manchurian states such as Buyeo, Goguryeo, Wuji (勿吉), and Balhae(渤海) used the waterway of the Songhua River.
 First, the water transport traffic of the Songhua River during that period was examined, focusing on Buyeo, which was founded and developed in the middle basin of the Songhua River flowing to the north. Baijinbao(⽩⾦寶)·Hanshu(漢書) ruins located in the Nunkjang(嫩江) basin. The wanghaitun (望海屯) ruins and the suoligou(索離溝)-Qinghua(慶華) ruins in the east-flowing Songhua River basin. Laoshu(楡樹) Laoheshen(⽼河深) ruins in the north-flowing Songhua River basin. The relationship between ruins related to the Buyeo culture and the river that flowed around them was analyzed. This suggested the possibility that these ruins and the Buyeo culture were formed and connected through the Songhua River-Nunkjang waterway.
 And, as an example of water transportation in the ancient Manchurian region, the travel route of the Eulyeokji(⼄⼒⽀) reported in Wei Shu(魏書) Wuji Biography was reviewed. We paid attention to the fact that the Songhua River-Nunkjang-Taoer River(洮兒河) waterway was used in the travel of Eulyeokji according to the records, and confirmed that large-scale transportation of goods was possible through this waterway.
 Songhua River water transportation was the core of the transportation network that connected the ancient Buyeo dominions. This was a transportation route that connected Goguryeo with the nomadic and hunting countries of the north, and was also a window through which Wuji advanced into the international community. And Balhae was the first country to organically connect and integrate northern water transport centered on the Songhua River. The ancient Songhua River-Nunkjang-Heilongjiang(⿊⿓江) waterway was a transportation route connecting each region of Manchuria and a blood vessel for material distribution.

Full textAbstract:
Bubble dissolution during the flood discharge creates high total dissolved gas (TDG) concentration zones downstream of the dams. The dissipation of supersaturated TDG is a very slow process. Thus, the elevated TDG may remain through the water body for hundreds of kilometers downstream and lead to gas bubble disease (GBD) and even mortality in fish. To improve the navigation conditions of waterways, dikes (i.e., a solid structure) of varied sizes and shapes are commonly constructed. However, this would affect the dissipation and transportation of the supersaturated TDG. It would significantly change the turbulence intensity and hydropressure of the flow, which dominates the dissipation of TDG. Therefore, TDG distribution in the waterway differs from that in the natural river. In this study, a numerical simulation of the TDG at the Yangtze River’s upper reaches (one of the inland waterways in China) was conducted with the establishment of a two-dimensional TDG dissipation model. The effect of the dikes’ size and shape was analyzed to assess the influence of the regulation structures on the dissipation and transportation of the supersaturated TDG. Meanwhile, simulation in the study area with the natural topography was also set as blank control. Based on that, impact evaluation of TDG supersaturation on fish under different simulation scenarios was made. This study can provide a scientific basis for reducing the adverse effect of supersaturated TDG in fish and the construction of ecological waterway therefore.

Full textAbstract:
Problem setting. The development of inland water transport in the European Union is supported by significant investments, legislation and innovations. The results of foreign studies indicate the need to improve the concept of inland waterway in science and legislation, as these are important components of water transport development. By the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 136 dated 09.02.2022. "On Approval of the List of Inland Sea Waters and Inland Waterways Categorized as Navigable" and Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 640 of 12.06.1996 (no longer in force), the Ukrainian part of the Danube River was granted the status of a sea lane. Accordingly, the ports on the Danube River are called not river ports, but sea ports. The granting of the status of a sea lane on a particular river results in the attribution of transportation carried out on them to sea transportation. The share of cargo processing on inland waterways and ports located on them decreases accordingly. Persons involved in river transportation, in order to attract as many customers as possible, are trying to expand the range of their services by granting the port the status of a sea port. If it is able to accept sea vessels, despite the location on the river. This contributes to the reduction of both the volume of traffic on inland waterways and the reduction of funding for their development and legal support. Analysis of recent researches and publications. The term inland waterway was used in the works of the pre-revolutionary scientist Kazansky P.E., in the works of contemporaries Kulko A.V., Efimenko A.P., Samoilenko G.V., Samoilenko E.A., but without its analysis in the context of German law. Target of the research is a comparative analysis of the concept of waterway and its status in the law of inland navigation based on the materials of Ukraine and Germany, studying the possibilities of their improvement in the context of changes in the situation on inland water transport. Article’s main body. The legal status of inland waterways develops along with the development of transport relations. We are talking about relations that arise in connection with the use of waterways, infrastructure and means of transport, as well as relations that exist in the process of preparation and regulation of transportation. The study of the problem of the status of the inland shipping route based only on the materials of Ukraine would be incomplete given the fact that our country does not occupy a leadership position in the specified mode of transport and, as a result, in the relevant law. In Germany, there are thorough laws and extensive commentaries, monographs and scientific articles based on the results of the analysis of court cases, which are a consequence of the rapid development of inland shipping. In Germany, inland shipping relations are regulated by more than a dozen special laws, the most important of which is the law «On Private Law Relations of Inland Shipping (Binnenschiffahrtsgesetz)», which has been in operation for over 100 years - since January 1, 1896. Conclusions and prospects for the development. This allowed to formulate conclusions on the concept and status of inland waterway and proposals for its improvement. There are numerous sources in Germany - thorough laws and extensive commentaries, monographs and scientific articles written on the basis of court cases, which creates grounds for borrowing positive experience. Comparative consideration of the concept of "inland waterway" has revealed the existence of differences that have a negative impact on navigation. They indirectly affect the limits of legal regulation and, as a result, the determination of the share of traffic carried out by certain modes of transport. Differences do not contribute to the development of law or shipping. Ukraine is a party to a number of multilateral and bilateral international conventions, treaties, programs - which creates an information base and the prospect of developing a unified doctrinal and legislative definition of the

It is expected that climate change will affect important natural inland waterways in Europe, among others, the Rhine River. Inland waterway transport is one of the main economic activities developed in the Rhine, and the effects of climate change on this activity are of great concern for skippers, the industry and policy-makers. This paper aims to identify whether longer and more frequent dry periods projected in the Rhine River will turn into a physical limitation that prevent inland waterway transport companies from guaranteeing reliable transportation to their customers, and – if so – when such a situation might take place. Based on the adaptation turning point approach, we propose a four step method to identify critical time periods for future climate change adaptation. According to our results, the inland waterway transport sector will start facing insurmountable problems associated with low water levels within the time span 2081–2095. The adaptation turning point approach provides analysts with a dynamic appraisal method that allows options to be ranked with timing of period of effectiveness and the time span needed for implementation as criteria. This increases flexibility of planning and allows for uncertainty about changing future conditions.

Full textAbstract:
The safety of vessels navigating in the sea waterway system is ensured by fulfilling the acceptable restrictions called safe ship operation conditions in that system. The assessment of navigation safety is particularly important when the conditions for safe operation of ships in the waterway system are changed concerns increasing the maximum parameters of vessels, increasing the allowable hydrometeorological conditions or changing the minimum tug assistance. The article presents a method for assessing navigation safety when the conditions for the safe operation of vessels in the waterway system get changed. The method uses two indicators, which are difference in navigation risks and relative navigation risk. To determine the navigational risk, algorithms were developed for calculating the probability of accidents caused by the deterioration of navigation conditions and technical failure of ship equipment and tugs. Another algorithm was developed for calculating the consequences of the accidents that involve blocking a waterway by a ship anchoring in an emergency, grounding, impact of the ship against a port structure or moored ship and a collision with another ship in motion. The method developed for assessing navigation safety by means of relative navigation risk can be used in practice when changing the conditions for safe operation of vessels in the waterway system and when the system is modernized. Navigational safety management is a decision process that is implemented in the loop presented in the article. The acceptable risk is determined on the basis of vessel traffic intensity and ship parameters defined by safe operation conditions for a given waterway system. Relative navigational risk may be used in assessment and comparison of various conditions of safe ship operation. The probability of an accident caused by ship's moving outside the available navigable area due to technical failures of ship equipment or tugs is determined, depending on the type of port waterway and the manoeuvres performed.

Abstract The palm oil industry is a significant contributor to Indonesia’s economy, yet its environmental impact, including greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from the transportation of Crude Palm Oil (CPO), poses significant challenges. This study employs the Time/Cost-Distance model to evaluate transportation scenarios used in the distribution of CPO from Central Kalimantan to East Java. By comparing transportation scenarios involving road and inland waterway networks, the study identifies the optimal configuration to minimize air pollution caused by GHG emissions while considering transportation time and cost. The results indicate that the “inland waterways network scenario,” supported by the special terminal policy outlined in the Minister of Transportation Regulation Number 52 of 2022 on Special Terminals and Terminals for Private Use, provides a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution, despite covering a longer distance than the “road network scenario.” The inland waterways network scenario results in total GHG emissions of 22.37 kg CO2-eq/ton, a cost of $17.70/ton, and a travel time of 88.07 hours, compared to the road network scenario, which has total GHG emissions of 32.71 kg CO2-eq/ton, a cost of $30.16/ton, and a travel time of 87.55 hours. One factor contributing to these differences is the presence of special terminals, which eliminate a leg of transportation in the inland waterways network scenario, thereby reducing both GHG emissions and transportation costs. This demonstrates that policy and law can enhance the sustainability of the palm oil industry and helping to address the issue of climate change through the reduction of GHG emissions.

Abstract Many supply chains rely on barge transportation along the Upper Mississippi waterway system. However, locks and dams that enable traffic flows through the waterway system are aging and causing disruptions frequently, bringing considerable financial damages to shippers. Cost of the major system rehabilitation is estimated to be over $1 billion, and the prospects for getting such a large funding from the government are bleak. Public-private partnership (PPP) based on the conventional business model that requires collecting end-user fees to provide revenue to the participating private firms has been proposed, but not implemented due to the regulatory barriers that forbid the collection of user fees. This study proposes a new PPP business model that does not require collecting user fees. This model seeks to attract funding from shippers in exchange for reducing their financial losses due to frequent system disruptions. We describe the model concept and examine its effectiveness by performing a series of analyses that combine analytical, econometric, and simulation techniques. Results show that the proposed model is not only viable, but also financially attractive to shippers if the invested amount is optimal, allowing them to reduce supply chain disruptions considerably while also achieving sizable investment returns.

Historically, Indonesia's strategic location on international trade routes facilitated the development and growth of port cities throughout Indonesia. Historically, rivers were the city's main transportation route, leading to urban settlements along the river banks. Surabaya is one of the cities in Indonesia that relies on waterways as its main transportation route. However, population growth accompanied by the expansion of road transportation modes gradually reduced the role of the river as the main route. The shift has resulted in areas around the river becoming undeveloped and unmaintained. This research uses a space syntax approach to study the impact of the transportation shift in Surabaya from waterway to landline on the condition of facades along Jalan Kalimas Timur. The quantitative method descriptively uses data collected through literature study and field observation. The data obtained was then analysed using DepthMapX software. The results of this study show that the shift in transportation routes impacts the maintenance of facades along Kalimas Timur Street, which tends to be less maintained, making the area that was once the centre of the city now a neglected and damaged area.

Developing adequate ship domain models may significantly benefit vessel navigation safety. In essence, navigation safety is collectively affected by the navigable waterway condition, the size and shape of the ship, and operators' skills. The existing ship domains mainly use constant values for the model input parameters, making them incapable of handling site-specific conditions. This study proposes dynamic ship domain models that take into consideration navigable waterway conditions, ship behaviours, ship types and sizes, and operators' skills in a holistic manner. Specifically, the conditions of restricted waterways are classified into navigating along the channel, crossing the channel, joining another flow and turning. The ship types considered include ships that transport non-hazardous goods and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) ships that are in need of additional security zones. A computational experiment is conducted for model application using data on water channel design and ship traffic volumes related to navigating along the channel, joining another flow and turning. Comparisons of results obtained between the proposed dynamic models with real ship traffic counts reveal that the proposed models could achieve a higher level of accuracy in estimating the capacity of restricted water channels. It therefore could potentially deliver safety enhancements of waterway transportation.

Inland waterway transport is an important mode of transportation for many countries and regions. Route planning optimization can reduce navigation time, avoid traffic congestion, and improve transportation efficiency. In actual operations, many vessels determine their navigation routes based on the experience of their shipowners. When the captain fails to obtain accurate information, experience-based routes may pose significant navigation risks and may not consider the overall economic efficiency. This study proposes a comprehensive method for optimizing inland waterway vessel routes using automatic identification system (AIS) data, considering the geographical characteristics of inland waterways and navigation constraints. First, AIS data from vessels in inland waters are collected, and the multi-objective Peak Douglas–Peucker (MPDP) algorithm is applied to compress the trajectory data. Compared to the traditional DP algorithm, the MPDP algorithm reduces the average compression rate by 5.27%, decreases length loss by 0.04%, optimizes Euclidean distance by 50.16%, and improves the mean deviations in heading and speed by 23.53% and 10.86%, respectively. Next, the Ordering Points to Identify the Clustering Structure (OPTICS) algorithm is used to perform cluster analysis on the compressed route points. Compared to the traditional DBSCAN algorithm, the OPTICS algorithm identifies more clusters that are both detailed and hierarchically structured, including some critical waypoints that DBSCAN may overlook. Based on the clustering results, the A* algorithm is used to determine the connectivity between clusters. Finally, the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II is used to select suitable route points within the connected clusters, optimizing objectives, including path length and route congestion, to form an optimized complete route. Experiments using vessel data from the waters near Shuangshan Island indicate that, when compared to three classic original routes, the proposed method achieves path length optimizations of 4.28%, 1.67%, and 0.24%, respectively, and reduces congestion by 24.15%. These improvements significantly enhance the planning efficiency of inland waterway vessel routes. These findings provide a scientific basis and technical support for inland waterway transport.

The object of research in this article is the relationship between the innovative development of river passenger transportation, increasing labor productivity in the economy of the respective territories and the cost of human capital involved in the production process. The subject of the study was the labor resources, the level of their territorial fragmentation with production capacities and the determination of ways to fill the needs of production in the missing qualified personnel. Particular attention is paid to the development of inland waterway transport as a link between labor resources and production facilities. The relevance of this study is confirmed by the presence of a large potential for the development of passenger transportation by river transport using innovative vessels, modern digital systems and navigation tools. The methodological basis of the study was the methods of statistical observation, analysis and calculation of the possible effect. The use of the abstraction method gave the authors the opportunity to obtain an approximate quantitative assessment of the effect obtained from increasing the labor mobility of the population as a result of the development of innovative passenger transportation by river transport. The main scientific results of the study are: 1) confirmation of the hypothesis about the relationship between the growth of economic activity with increased labor mobility, 2) justification of the need for innovative development of passenger transportation by inland waterway. The scientific novelty of the work is to substantiate the need to increase labor mobility within one region and between regions connected by waterways by innovative development of passenger transportation by river transport, as well as in an attempt to quantify the development of human capital on the example of internal labor migration in order to fill in the missing qualified personnel in modern (including innovative) industries.
