Marine Traffic Management System
Overview
The Marine Traffic Management System (MTMS) is a complete solution for the planning and management of vessel routing. At the core of MTMS are the marine traffic services. MTMS integrates with the radar system and other platforms, such as meteorological/hydrographic systems, voyage planning, and pilotage information systems, when applicable. Combining radar display with full vessel movement information and the expected traffic data significantly improves the quality of the traffic services. The MTMS is designed for an integrated approach. The scalability of the system allows to integrate other vessel-oriented services like pilotage and lock planning. As a result, a platform encompassing all aspects of vessel logistics is provided.
Solution advantages
Uniform handling of all traffic
MTMS supports all steps for complete handling of vessel movements. It fully integrates with the radar systems and other platforms. One integrated planning application for sailing, mooring, unmooring.
Single point of information
MTMS offers a set of services to exchange data with other systems. The system is based on ESB architecture, enabling an exchange of information with the chain partners. One system, one version of the truth, better and optimized reporting and visibility to your customers
Prediction of vessel movements
An advanced route and prediction model is implemented in the MTMS for automatic route determination, calculation of passage times. The system is designed to handle high-volume marine traffic. Optimizing the entire “flow of vessels” in port – aligning all parties and operations.
Base platform for growth
An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is incorporated in MTMS as part of the solution. MTMS is highly customizable to respect local procedures, rules and regulations. By providing the entire SaaS –removes the need for inhouse IT developments, maintenance and staffing.
Case study
Schelderadarketen
ARS T&TT Marine Technology was awarded the project to implement a new Enterprise Architecture to the Schelderadarketen computer platform. Our strong modular platform consists of a collection of modules in loose connection (through loose coupling) that can work together. Through this Enterprise Architecture, the Schelderadarketen is flexible to easily add or replace certain modules.
The application of this new Enterprise Architecture means that Schelderadarketen now operates as a single point of information. Information from external system is easily exchanged through our system. Problems caused by duplicated entry of information are avoided, resulting in a single truth. This in turn results in direct access to complete and accurate information of vessel movements from start to finish.
