Lock Management System implementation at the Đerdap lock within the scope of the RIS Serbia project
The project included design of Lock Management System for the RIS system in Serbia. The sub-system specification, implementation approach, acceptance test manual, stability & performance test manuals were elaborated. Development, factory acceptance testing and user acceptance testing of Lock Management system were performed. The work description also included elaboration of user and administration documentation as well as training materials. Training of designated personnel for usage of Lock Management System was also performed within the scope of this contract.
Lock Management System
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.
