I. Background
With the development of the shipping economy and the upgrading of ecological protection requirements, inland waterway and maritime fields face pain points such as insufficient regulatory efficiency, data silos, and delayed emergency response. Relying on technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things), big data, artificial intelligence, and digital twin, building an integrated informatization engineering system has become a key pathway to achieving "smart ocean use and smart ocean management" and "smart waterway transportation." It can effectively address the limitations of spatial coverage and insufficient business collaboration inherent in traditional models.
II. Core Objectives
Data Integration: Establish a comprehensive data collection and sharing system covering inland waterways and maritime domains, breaking down cross-regional and cross-departmental data barriers.
Intelligent Regulation: Achieve real-time monitoring and intelligent early warning for waterways, vessels, and ecological environments, enhancing regulatory precision.
Efficient Services: Optimize port and shipping operations, government approval processes, and public service workflows, reducing operational costs for enterprises.
Collaborative Emergency Response: Build a rapid-response disaster early warning and emergency rescue system to ensure navigation safety and ecological safety.
III. Overall Architecture Design
The engineering adopts a four-tier architecture of "Perception Layer – Transmission Layer – Platform Layer – Application Layer" to achieve full-process informatized closed-loop management:
IV. Core Business Modules
1. Key Applications for Inland Waterway Informatization
Digital Waterway Construction: Produce electronic waterway charts through centimeter-level surveying, integrating underwater topography, navigation obstacles, bridge and lock information, and other data to achieve "one map for all waterways" visualized management.
Smart Shipping Services: Interface with the "direct entry and direct berthing, direct departure and direct exit" functional module to streamline vessel port entry and exit reporting procedures, saving an average of 4–8 hours per voyage.
Inland Waterway Ecological Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of water quality, hydrology, and shoreline changes to support ecological restoration and pollution traceability, in compliance with standards such as the Hydrological Monitoring Data Communication Specification.
2. Key Applications for Maritime Informatization
Smart Marine Ecological and Environmental Protection:Covering the entire process of environmental monitoring data collection, laboratory analysis, quality bulletin preparation, and ecological restoration management.
Forecasting, Disaster Reduction, and Emergency Command:Integrating multi-source observation data to provide refined meteorological forecasts and disaster early warnings, with coordinated deployment of law enforcement vessels and rescue resources.
Maritime Industry Empowerment: Covering scenarios including smart aquaculture, fishing vessel and port regulation, offshore wind power management, and marine economic operation monitoring, to help industries improve quality and efficiency.
Cross-Regional Collaborative Regulation: Breaking down administrative barriers to achieve data integration and interoperability of vessel dynamics, law enforcement information, safety ratings, and other data.
