The goal of the EcoSUSTAIN project is to maintain biodiversity and natural ecosystems through strengthening the management and networking of protected areas by means of the following specific objectives:
increase management capacity of protected areas by developing integrated management and networking methodology;
increase management capacity of protected areas by developing joint state-of-the-art water quality monitoring systems;
create favorable transferability conditions to expand outputs to other protected areas of the Mediterranean basin.
RGO is the work package leader related to short-term monitoring solution for water quality in protected areas. The system we are developing within the project detects an increase of certain pollutants in the water and via an automatic identification system network notifies designated recepients in real time.
The project started in November 2016 and is expected to finish in April 2019.
The overall project budget amounts to 1.753.226,36 €, out of which the 1.490.242,41 € is ERDF/IPA budget.
Project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
RGO Communications Ltd., commissioned by via donau –
Österreichische Wasserstraßen-Gesellschaft mbH, is developing and implementing
the national Lock Management System (LMS) – an integrated IT solution for
managing and monitoring lock operations along the nine Austrian Danube locks.
The project covers all stages of software development – from
requirements specification and system concept, through user interface
prototyping, implementation, installation, testing and multi-year maintenance
and technical support.
LMS enables complete digital management of lock operations,
including vessel passage recording, automated lock cycle planning, real-time
lock chamber visualization, shift and incident management, as well as reporting
and data exchange with related river information systems (DoRIS, CEERIS, EuRIS,
EHDB).
The system integrates advanced functionalities such as
automatic lock scheduling, failure and notification management, user and access
administration, and data synchronization through internal and external APIs.
This project represents a significant milestone in the
digital transformation of inland waterway traffic management, enhancing safety,
interoperability, and operational efficiency within the European River
Information Services (RIS) framework.
