control system in inland waterways Development of river transport assumes improvement of ship motion control, especially in complicated areas. Up-to-date facilities and systems of communication, navigation, monitoring and dataware substantially expand possibilities for development of vessel traffic management systems (VTMS). At present VTMS are widely used for marine navigation, and there is a problem of equipping complicated river fairway sections with similar systems. On the basis of the analysis of marine system progress trends a concept is proposed of VTMS design for inland waterways.
