| Abstract | A Maritime Administration/Transportation Systems Center team has been conducting a program to study navigation and communication systems on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River with the objective of defining technologies and systems that have the potential to increase economic benefits to the users and support National Defense and National Strategic Goals. This report presents the results of the first phase of this study. It identifies shortcomings in existing systems, namely: dependence upon visual aids for navigation; congestion in the communications system; lack of timely environmental data; and physical constraints of lock size and channel depth. |
