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 objectives are the following:
-Definition of requirements
-Definition of Safe and Secure Navigation for Autonomous navigation for IWW
-Contribute to EU Framework for IWW and Autonomous vessels.
-Identify and analyse challenges and barriers for automated vessels
-Develop a prototype of on-board equipment that uses Galileo differentiators to address the main needs not covered so far by existing equipment.
-Execute pilot projects: the study implements several pilots along selected inland waterways with the aim of demonstrating the feasibility and added value of AVIS prototype solution.
-Support standardisation: 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,
-Execute outreach activities.
