The lack of tracking and the non-digitised process in operational control prevents the use of real-time data. Providing this data is a major challenge in maritime transportation. A real-time timetable is being worked on with strong partners in the I2PANEMA research project. Together, a demonstrator has been developed that is the basis for real-time passenger information.

Live data
No live data available. The ITS ferry route 75 operates from 05:32 - 17:42.
Temporary closures of the ferry channel by the Hamburg Port Authority.
Nautiluslog Cloud delivers live voyage data for ITS ferry line 75. Fraunhofer CML machine learning algorithm calculates forecast for estimated time of arrival (ETA) in real time. (Note: Cookies must be accepted for this function)

The challenges for waterborne public transportFerries are influenced by several factors on their route. These can be, for example, container or cruise ships and change of tide or a strong swell. These influences mean the route can be interrupted or diverted. The same applies to mobile data communication, which is affected during major events or by interference from port operations.

Smart ferryAs part of the I2PANEMA research project, NautilusLog's Smart Logbook was installed onboard the HADAG ferries. Operational data is recorded in real time via the sensors of a mobile terminal. Communication takes place via the Logbook Cloud, which integrates partners, independently of a permanent internet connection. As a basis for the Logbook, NautilusLog has taken the lead in developing and driving a new ISO standard. The operational data from ferry operations collected by NautilusLog is processed by Fraunhofer CML via the Logbook Cloud to forecast the expected arrival time in real time. For this purpose, a machine-learning algorithm was developed and trained with millions of data points from the HADAG fleet. In the future, this will enable HADAG to support its passengers in planning their journeys with a real-time timetable.

I2PANEMAThe research project I2PANEMA aims to develop IoT demonstrators based on various application scenarios. In addition, an IoT reference architecture for increasing the efficiency of ports and shipping is to be derived. Several European ports in Spain, Turkey and Germany are involved, as well as partners from industry and research. Within the project, 9 business scenarios are being worked on, 3 of which are in the Port of Hamburg. The business scenario "Smart Ferry" has taken up the challenge of real-time scheduling for passenger ferries.

Partner
HADAG
HADAG is participating in the overall "Hamburg-Takt" concept with a variety of measures to strengthen waterborne public transport on the Elbe and in the Port of Hamburg. With 26 passenger ferries at present, more than 10 million passengers are reached annually. A significant increase in passenger numbers is expected in the coming years. To improve the customer experience, HADAG is investing in the digitalisation of operational processes and creating the basis for significantly upgraded passenger information when crossing the Elbe.
