Background
Over the last number of years, IALA has been heavily
engaged in development of the IMO e-navigation concept,
including aspects of data communications. The VHF Data
Exchange System (VDES) is seen as an effective and
efficient use of radio spectrum, building on the capabilities
of AIS and addressing the increasing requirements for data
to be transferred through the system. There is a need to
provide guidance on VDES technologies, VDES operational
concept, testbeds and IMO performance standards to assist
IALA Workshop on IALA National and Industrial Members in the efficient
development and deployment of maritime data
Development of VHF Data communications.
Exchange System (VDES) Topics
The workshop will cover subjects related to data
15 – 19 February 2016 communications such as the development of VDES by
exchanging information on VDES testbeds conducted by
various authorities, institutions and industries, especially in
the Asia Pacific region; VDES technologies such as the
frequency plan, modulation scheme, access scheme, sharing
method; VDES operational concept based on user
requirement, use case, etc.; the use of VDES in the
realisation of e-navigation and modernization of GMDSS.
The programme will include a half day open Forum.
Objective
The objective of the workshop is to provide an opportunity
for participants to understand and develop the technology
and operational aspects of VDES. This will enable
knowledge sharing on VDES, the drafting of IALA
Conference Studio FUKURACIA documentation on VDES Technologies and VDES
Operational Concept, updating of the VDES testbed list,
Shinagawa Crystal Square, preparing a draft IMO paper on proposal for unplanned
output “development of IMO performance standards and
6-41, Kohnan 1-chome, Minato, associated guidelines for shipboard VDES” for submission
to MSC 96. A half-day Open Forum will be opened to public
Tokyo 108-0075, and the Workshop participants with an expected audience
Japan of the up to 150.
Process
The Workshop will include presentations on various
aspects relevant to the VDES. The programme includes
discussion periods and also work on draft IALA
documentation. The intent is that the Workshop report will
contain recommendations for areas of further work.
Attendees
The Workshop is directed towards all IALA members,
maritime authorities and administrations, universities,
scientific bodies, manufacturers, service providers and
integrators, standards organisations as well as consultants
The International Association of Marine Aids to in VTS, GMDSS, AtoN, terrestrial components of the
WWRNS etc. with interests in e-navigation.
