St. Lawrence Seaway: Potential Opportunities for the Application of Information and Communication Technologies

Overview

This report is the second in a series of two reports focused on identifying opportunities for application of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology – or equivalent – to address challenges and/or opportunities in the St. Lawrence Seaway. The first paper in this series summarized current condition, challenges faced, and potential opportunities for application of ITS on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The first paper also documented existing applications of technology on the Seaway. This paper serves as a companion and presents applications of ITS – or more broadly, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) – and other novel technologies in maritime transportation operations elsewhere in the world. It also documents some initial parameters of several candidate applications for the St. Lawrence Seaway, which were previewed in the first paper as “Opportunities for Applications of ITS”.
