- 2. VTMSVessel Traffic Management System Rolta Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) makes valuable contribution to safer navigation, efficient traffic flow, and protection of the environment in confined and busy waterways by active monitoring, provision of information services, traffic organization and navigational assistance to vessels. VTMS facilitates quick and efficient handling of Incidents and emergency situations. Additionally, data from incidents and traffic movements can be stored and used as reference information for port administration, port authorities, coastguards and search and rescue services. Key Features: ŸGeo-Fence support ŸTarget Warnings and Assignments ŸElectronic Navigational Chart (ENC) map & Web Map Service (WMS) support ŸNavigational channel Monitoring & warning ŸRecording and Replay of Vessel activities ŸEvents assistance (Search and Rescue (SAR), Law Enforcement, National Response Center, Alarm) ŸDecision support system to locate appropriate response vessel ŸStandard Operating Procedures (SOP) Support (Plan & procedures, On-fly support) ŸDashboard to get overall Situational awareness ŸMarine Tools: Compass Rose, Go-To Mark, Range & Bearing Line (RBL), Closest Point of Approach (CPA), Range Rings, Grid Sensor Interface ŸSensor Interface (Radar, AIS, Met, RDF, EOS, Thermal console, etc.) ŸAIS Messaging (Safety, text message with Unicast / Broadcast) ŸRadar Interface, Radar Video & Radar Video history ŸSensor & System health warning ŸVideo Support (Video Streaming with playback controls & Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) controls) ŸSensor Control and Monitoring (Bi- Directional Communication Support) Generic Features ŸPort Management Information System Interface (Vessels correlation, Hookup, Assets info, scheduling Arrival, departure, shift activities) ŸPort Activities in a Timeline (Weather Info, Events, Vessel Arrival, Vessel Departure, Vessel shift) ŸUnits of Measurement (Multiple Coordinate & Distance format, On-fly definition) ŸLayer / Topology manager (Activating / deactivating layers) ŸMobile Support ŸInvestigation & Replay module ŸMultiple Monitor Display support ŸMultilingual support including Arabic
- 3. ŸVTMS Application Areas: ŸHigh traffic density & Traffic carrying hazardous cargoes ŸConflicting and complex navigation patterns & Environmental considerations ŸInterference by vessel traffic with other waterborne activities ŸExisting or planned vessel traffic services on adjacent waterways and the need for cooperation between neighboring states ŸNarrow channels, port configuration, bridges, locks, bends and similar areas where the progress of vessels to be restricted Rolta provides comprehensive solution for Security of ports & strategic coastal areas of interests including vessels traffic and other maritime operations. The system provides vital information and automated alerting on violation and reports on vessels traffic, port information and share events information to the police and other security agencies for preventing any troublesome incidents or for investigations. Rolta VTMS monitors, records, analyses, alerts operator with appropriate info and updates the port MIS online for all vessels entering and leaving harbor. Use of multiple layers of day and night sensors with reassuring levels of redundancy makes it a fail-safe system. Rolta VTMS is an information system as well a security surveillance, wherein any unidentified vessel automatically becomes a suspect element from security aspect. Once, envisaged registration and identification of fishing vessels and other recreational crafts operating in the port premises are in place, they can also be embedded into the Rolta VTMS system to aid security surveillance. The VHF Radio and Direction Finding (RDF) component of VTMS can be expanded for aiding security application as well. Thus, while Rolta VTMS is an inescapable system for any busy port for traffic management, it is also a dependable application for port security as it could give intelligence inputs to the security agencies for forming a Coherent Intelligence Picture.

- 5. Sensor Site Often for larger ports, multiple radar/sensor and control stations are deployed for efficient and accurate geographical coverage. Rolta VTMS can be linked to port Management Information database System (MIS) for aiding online planning and coordination of vessels’ actual arrival and departure with port resources. The location of the sensors, like Radars, CCTV cameras etc. are selected carefully in order to obtain maximum performance of the system. The equipment on the sensor site consists of parts installed outdoors, like radar head, CCTV cameras, VHF antennas etc. and processing equipments are installed indoors in the equipment rack. The communication between sensor site and the control center is based on standard TCP/IP network which can be established using direct LAN connection, using MW links, ADSL lines etc. The Rolta maritime solution portfolio is based on Land, Underwater, Coastal, Surface, Airborne and Space capabilities for optimum coverage, fast situation analysis and efficient response. Module selection is based on customer operational requirements to offer the most competitive solutions. Notable highlights of solution offered are SOA architecture and standards combined with innovative technologies such as Selective Information Dissemination, Web Technologies, to integrate existing customer legacies and ensure interoperability with external systems and databases. We can provide 3D maps for the entire port area along with Rolta GeoCAD for land based operations.
