| Werum delivers Tool System for Marine Traffic Control System

Federal German Waterways and Shipping Administration applies a Werum-developed solution to integrate and monitor various systems and services for marine traffic control.
Lüneburg, Germany, August 29, 2011 - The Federal German Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) controls and monitors shipping traffic in the German Bight, in some parts of the Baltic Sea and at the entrances to German seaports. WSV traffic control centers are staffed twenty-four hours a day. They assist the command teams of ships with information, warnings, notifications and traffic control decisions which come from a variety of different technical systems and services (e.g. radar stations, computer applications or VHF voice radio systems) located along the German coastline between Emden and Stralsund. With the new "Marine Traffic Control System" (SMV), the WSV modernizes and harmonizes its systems. Existing installations will gradually be replaced with standardized, interconnected subsystems. To ensure cross-component monitoring of these new systems and to support maintenance and technical service, Werum has implemented a software-based monitoring tool called the "Tool System".
SMV Tool System integrates underlying Systems
With the SMV Tool System, Werum has developed a solid basis for integrating all SMV services and subsystems, merging information into a common pool, and making this information available through an intuitive user interface. The SMV Tool System is a superordinate information and processing instrument for the SMV technical service, streamlining operations by making overviews, summaries and all kinds of information available more quickly.
One of the tasks of the SMV Tool System is to monitor the components of the SMV service. The Tool System is founded on a base module, which provides the infrastructure for all other applications. In the first phase of the project, Werum has built three of the modules for the base architecture: The "state monitoring" module reads state messages coming from SMV services and components, processes them, and provides centralized overviews and summaries. An "access management" module gives the technical service a central user management function with role and policy administration. These two modules are complemented by the "SMV components" module, in which Werum has combined functions for describing SMV services and components. The SMV Tool System is based on a state-of-the-art software architecture and uses the latest technologies throughout. Its design is so flexible that additional modules from different suppliers, such as a service order management module, can be integrated easily and quickly to meet future needs.
Successful Cooperation on a earlier Kiel-Canal Project
Werum has successfully developed software for the WSV in the past. The specialist software supplier, headquartered in Lueneburg, Germany, was involved in the development of an electronic marine traffic security system for the Kiel Canal, one of the most heavily used artificial waterways in the world.
