The purpose of this EC´s project is to analyse how EU Space Data can be used for Automated Vessels on European Inland Waterways. In order to do this analysis,a prototype will be defined, design and implemented and will be used in pilots demonstrations in different EU IWW important corridors.

The following objectives are already extracted from the ITT:

-Definition of requirements:
-Definition of Safe and Secure Navigation for Autonomous navigation for IWW
-Contribute to EU Framework for IWW and Autonomous vessels.
oIdentify and analyse challenges and barriers for automated vessels not only at technical level but at
-Develop a prototype of on-board equipment that uses Galileo differentiators to address the main needs not covered so far by existing equipment.
-Pilot projects: The study will implement several pilots along selected inland waterways with the aim of demonstrating the feasibility and added value of AVIS prototype solution.
-Standardization: Propose a new standard concerning minimum requirements (e.g., on EU Space Data) to guarantee safe autonomous vessel navigation in inland waterways in support of future regulatory initiatives,
-And finally, outreach activities will be performed in the course of this study.
