Abstract
Navigation along inland waterways was in history used
only for the transportation of bulk cargo. However, in the last
two centuries inland waterways have been used for transporting
containers, general and liquid cargo. The density of navigation
in the world waterways is considerable, especially because it is
more profitable, when compared to other modes of transport.
The increase of the density of navigation along inland waterways
has also caused the threats of various undesired occurrences like
collisions, stranding, pollution etc. Their decrease may be realised
through the implementation of various measures relating to the
safety of navigation along inland waterways.
In this paper the authors will present new measures aimed
at the increase of the traffic volume. It is expected that the
implementation of new measures will enable optimal planning
of navigation and better awareness of potential threats in the
waterways.
