On December 1st, 2015, the directors of the involved ports, Karlsruhe and Strasbourg, together with RheinPorts Basel-Mulhouse-Weil am Rhein, have signed a grant agreement with the European Commission for the ‘Upper Rhine traffic management system’. This barge appointment system is a promising and innovative project for the optimisation of the traffic management within the TEN-T Rhine-Alpine Corridor.The contract ensures the further commissioning and development of the traffic management system for the next three years and it gives a detailed definition of the project approach. Furthermore, the project will be supported by the European Traffic and Infrastructure Fund CEF (Connecting Europe Facilities) with almost 1 million euros.
A first version of the RPIS (RheinPorts Information System) is already in use in pilot operations at the RheinPorts terminals. As a next step, the system will be expanded towards other Upper Rhine Ports.
