  • Constraint satisfaction problem based on flow graph to study the resilience of Inland Navigation networks in a climate change context
    2016
    Co-Authors: Houda Nouasse, Eric Duviella, Guillaume Lozenguez, Arnaud Doniec, Pascale Chiron, Bernard Archimede, Karine Chuquet
    Abstract:

    The T-Ten European program aims at optimizing the transport logistics in Europe by promoting alternative transport modes. Navigation transport offers a competitive and environmentally friendly alternative. Hence, it is foresaw an increase of the Navigation transport demand that it will be necessary to accommodate. This will be very challenging particularly in a global change context where less available water resource is expected. A constraint satisfaction problem based on flow graph is proposed in this paper to study the resilience of Inland Navigation networks against increase of the Navigation demand and extreme events. Drought and flood scenarios are simulated considering an network composed of five interconnected Navigation reaches. The results show that the designed tools are well adapted to the resilience study of Inland Navigation networks.

  • study of global change impacts on the Inland Navigation management application on the nord pas de calais network

    Co-Authors: Houda Nouasse, Eric Duviella, Arnaud Doniec, Klaudia Horvath, Lala Rajaoarisoa, Karine Chuquet
    Abstract:

    In a global change context, governments in Europe want to promote alternative transports as Inland Navigation or railway instead of road transport. As example, in north of France, a shift of 20% from road transport to these alternative transport solutions is expected by 2050. Reaching this goal requires not only the delivery of new infrastructures and equipment, but also the design of efficient management strategies. By focusing on waterborne transport, it is thus necessary to improve the management of the Inland Navigation networks particularly the water resource. Indeed, the waterborne transport accommodation is strongly linked to the available water resource. This will be a challenging point in a global change context. The paper deals with the global change impacts on Inland Navigation networks. It aims at proposing new contributions as compared to past and current results of European projects on climate change and Inland Navigation. It appeared that the multi-scale modeling approach for Inland Navigation networks that was proposed during the last TRA Conference in Paris in 2014 is useful to determine the resilience of these networks and their ability to guarantee the Navigation conditions during drought and flood periods. The proposed tools are developed to consider two space and time scales. The first approach is used to determine the water quantity that is necessary to accommodate the Navigation during half a day, and the second allows the efficient control of the gates to keep the water level of each Navigation reach close to its setpoint by rejecting disturbances and compensating the waves due to the lock operations. One example based on the real Inland Navigation network of the north of France is used to highlight the contributions of the multi-scale modeling approach.

  • Dynamic optimization approaches for resource allocation planning in Inland Navigation networks
    2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2016
    Co-Authors: Eric Duviella, Houda Nouasse, Arnaud Doniec, Karine Chuquet
    Abstract:

    In an expected increase of the Inland Navigation transport demand, the management of the Navigation networks requires the design of new optimal management approaches of the water resource. This resource is necessary for the Navigation accommodation. In this paper, two dynamic optimization methods are designed with the aim to improve the management of the water resource at the minimal operating cost. They aim at determining the optimal water allocation planning over a future time horizon. They are based on the proposal of a weighted directed flow graph. This flow graph is composed of dynamic capacities on each node and dynamic constraints on each edge. The proposed optimization approaches are tested and compared considering an Inland Navigation network composed of three reaches.

  • study of drought impact on Inland Navigation systems based on a flow network model
    2015 XXV International Conference on Information Communication and Automation Technologies (ICAT), 2015
    Co-Authors: Houda Nouasse, Karine Chuquet, Eric Duviella, Arnaud Doniec, Lala Rajaoarisoa, Pascale Chiron, Bernard Archimede
    Abstract:

    Inland Navigation systems are large scale networks that are used for transport. The Navigation can be accommodated if the Navigation condition are gathered, i.e. if there is enough volume of water in each part of the network. Thus, it is necessary to supply the Inland Navigation networks with water and to well dispatch the available volume of water on the whole system. This aim is generally achieved without difficulty in normal condition. However, during drought periods, the available volume of water is decreasing and the Navigation conditions would not be reached everytime. These situations are expected to be more current in the future specially in a global change context in which the frequency and the magnitude of drought events will increase. Hence, it is necessary to design some tools to study the resilience of Inland Navigation networks against drought events. For this purpose a flow network model, allowing to simulate the Inland Navigation systems, is proposed in this paper.

  • enhancing Inland Navigation by model predictive control of water levels the cuinchy fontinettes case
    2015
    Co-Authors: Klaudia Horvath, Joaquim Blesa, Eric Duviella, Lala Rajaoarisoa, M Petreczky, Karine Chuquet
    Abstract:

    Navigation canals are used for transport purposes. In order to allow safe Navigation the water level should be kept in a certain range around the Normal Navigation Level (NNL). The water level is disturbed by known and unknown inputs, like tributaries, municipal water flows, rain, etc. Some of these inputs can be used to control the water level. If the geometry requires it, canal reaches are connected by locks. The operation of these locks sometimes can disturb the water level, if the difference between the upstream and downstream water level is large. The objective is to minimize the disturbances caused by these lock operations on the water level in order to maintain the NNL. In this work the global management of the canal reach is discussed and an option to maintain the NNL by active control is introduced. Some inputs to the system, such as other confluences or gates on the side of the locks, can be controlled automatically to react to the disturbances caused by the lock operations using model predictive control to maintain the desired water level.

  • modeling of interconnected flat open channel flow application to Inland Navigation canals
    Houille Blanche-revue Internationale De L Eau, 2018
    Co-Authors: Lala Rajaoarisoa, Vicenç Puig, P Segovia, Fatiha Nejjari, Eric Duviella
    Abstract:

    Inland Navigation networks are composed of several artificial canals, usually characterized by no slope. These canals are large-scale systems that can be accurately described by means of the nonlinear Saint-Venant partial differential equations. However, the lack of an analytical solution for these equations is one of the reasons why simplified models have been developed. In this work, the Integrator Delay Zero model is used to obtain the general input–output model for a canal with inflows and outflows along the water stream. An overlapping problem is discussed and a criterion choice is defined in order to obtain the general model. With regard to this criterion, a calibration step is needed, both to overcome the natural limitations of the simplified model and to ensure the correct computation of the general model. The application of this modeling approach to a part of the Inland Navigation network in the north of France serves as the case study for this work.

  • sensor fault diagnosis in Inland Navigation networks based on a grey box model
    IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2018
    Co-Authors: Joaquim Blesa, Eric Duviella, Vicenç Puig, Lala Rajaoarisoa, P Segovia, Fatiha Nejjari
    Abstract:

    Abstract Inland Navigation networks are equipped with limnimeters to measure and record water level data for the control of water levels and the management of water resources. When faults occur on sensors, corrupted data can be considered as correct, leading to undesirable management actions. Therefore, it is necessary to detect and localize these faults. In this paper, the detection and localization of sensor faults is performed through the analysis of the parameters of a grey-box model, which are obtained from available real data. The parameters are determined with a sliding window, with the exception of the delays, which are considered known a priori. A fault is detected and then localized when there is a change in the value of the parameters. This approach is well suited for constant faults and particularly well adapted for intermittent faults. Data of an Inland Navigation reach located in the north of France are used to highlight the performance of the proposed approach.

  • decentralized control of Inland Navigation networks with distributaries application to Navigation canals in the north of france
    Advances in Computing and Communications, 2017
    Co-Authors: P Segovia, Lala Rajaoarisoa, Vicenç Puig, Fatiha Nejjari, Eric Duviella
    Abstract:

    Inland Navigation networks are large-scale systems with large dead times, nonlinearities and variable time delays. They are composed of interconnected reaches. The management goal is to maintain the water level of each reach around a certain value. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is addressed to fulfill this objective. It is based on IDZ models by considering connected reaches with distributaries. A real Navigation sub-network in the north of France serves as the case study for this work.

  • Inland Navigation pah inventories in soil and vegetation after eu fuel regulation 2009 30 ec
    Science of The Total Environment, 2017
    Co-Authors: Melanie Blasing, Wulf Amelung, Lorenz Schwark, Eva Lehndorff
    Abstract:

    In January 2011, fuel quality in Inland water vessels was changed by EU regulation 2009/30/EC, aiming at improving air quality along waterways. We hypothesized that the implementation of this regulation both lowered the total deposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and changed their composition in river valleys. We analyzed parent-, alkylated- and thio-PAHs in soil and vine leaves, at two waterways (Rhine and Moselle, Germany), as well as in one ship-free reference area (Ahr, Germany). Samples were taken annually (2010-2013) in transects perpendicular to the rivers. We did not find any relation of PAH concentration and composition on vine leaves to Inland Navigation, likely because atmospheric exchange processes distorted ship-specific accumulation patterns. We did find, however, an accumulation of ship-borne PAHs in topsoil near the waterways (1543±788 and 581±252ngg-1 at Moselle and Rhine, respectively), leading to larger PAH concentrations at the Moselle Valley than at the reference area (535±404ngg-1) prior to EU fuel regulation. After fuel regulation, the PAH concentrations decreased in topsoils of the Moselle and Rhine Valley by 35±9 and 62±28%, respectively. These changes were accompanied by increasing proportions of dibenzothiophene (DBT) and low molecular weight PAHs. Both, changes in PAH concentrations and composition were traceable within 200 and 350m distance to the river front of Moselle and Rhine, respectively, and likely favored by erosion of topsoil in vineyards. We conclude that the EU regulation was effective in improving soil and thus also air quality within only three years. The impact was greater and spatially more relevant at the Rhine, which may be attributed to the larger traffic volume of Inland Navigation.

  • emission fingerprint of Inland Navigation vessels compared with road traffic domestic heating and ocean going vessels
    Organic Geochemistry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Melanie Blasing, Magdalena Kistler, Eva Lehndorff
    Abstract:

    Abstract Despite increasing need for cargo shipping, little knowledge exists on emissions from Inland Navigation. Here we characterized and compared patterns of metals, and parent-, thio- and alkylated PAHs in gaseous and particulate emissions from Inland Navigation vessels (INVs) with those of road traffic, domestic heating (solid fuels) and ocean going vessels (OGVs) using data from this study and the literature. Diagnostic tools for tracing the environmental impact of Inland Navigation are proposed. INV and diesel fueled road traffic emissions were differentiated from OGVs and coal combustion via V/Ni values. The PAH inventory of particulate INV emissions also differed significantly from other emitters via a higher proportion of three ring PAHs. The ratio of phenanthrene to dibenzothiophene distinguished diesel fueled road traffic, lignite combustion, OGVs and INVs from gasoline fueled road traffic and wood combustion. The 1,7/(1,7 + 2,6) and 1,7/(1,7 + x4) dimethylphenanthrene ratios (x4 = sum of 1,3-, 2,10-, 3,9- and 3,10-dimethylphenanthrene) separated INV, road traffic (diesel), domestic heating and OGV emissions and are recommended for future application in environmental quality studies.

  • fuel regulation in Inland Navigation reduced soil black carbon deposition in river valleys in germany
    Atmospheric Environment, 2015
    Co-Authors: Melanie Blasing, Yaping Shao, Eva Lehndorff
    Abstract:

    Abstract Inland Navigation is of increasing economic and ecological interest, however its contribution to environmental quality is hardly known. We hypothesized that i) Inland Navigation emits considerable amounts of soot-Black Carbon (BC) as a product of incomplete combustion of diesel fuel, which is then deposited on soils along river valleys, that ii) improvement of fuel quality by sulfur reduction in 2011 decreased BC inputs to soil, and that iii) this provides a tracer for the spatial impact of Inland Navigation emissions. The spatial and temporal patterns of soil BC deposits from Inland Navigation were investigated yearly (2010–2013) working within transects perpendicular to the rivers Rhine, Moselle and Ahr, Germany (the Ahr Valley is free of shipping and served as a reference). In rural areas at Inland waterways Navigation likely represented the dominant BC emitter. Topsoils (0–10 cm depth) were sampled in vineyards. Their BC content and composition was determined via oxidation of bulk soil organic matter to benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs). The highly trafficked Rhine Valley yielded only little more BC (64.7 ± 12 g BC kg −1 soil organic carbon (SOC) compared to 51.7 ± 9 at the Moselle, and 53.6 ± 6 at the reference Ahr Valley). At both Inland waterways soil BC increased towards the river, following the simulated dispersal of ship-derived BC using a Lagrangian model. In the course of ship fuel regulation, soil BC deposits at the Rhine and Moselle waterways decreased significantly from 70.2 ± 3.2 to 47.9 ± 1.1 and 57.6 ± 1.3 to 41.7 ± 0.9 g BC kg −1 SOC within 3 years. Even more pronounced was the change in BC composition, i.e., the ratio of pentacarboxylated to mellitic acid increased from 0.75 to 1.3 (Rhine) and 1 to 1.4 (Moselle) during this time span. From this we calculated that ∼30% less BC was deposited by Inland Navigation likely due to reduced BC emissions after sulfur regulation in ship diesel.

    Co-Authors: Klaudia Horvath, Joaquim Blesa, Eric Duviella, Vicenç Puig, Yolanda Bolea, Lala Rajaoarisoa, Karine Chuquet
    Abstract:

    In a context of global change, the Inland Navigation transport has gained interest with economic and 1 environmental benefits. The development of this means of conveyance requires the improvement of its 2 management rules to deal with the increase of Navigation (schedules and frequency) and the potential 3 impact of global change. To achieve this aim, it is firstly necessary to have a better knowledge about 4 the dynamics of Inland Navigation networks and their interaction with the environment. Secondly, 5 the potential effects of global change have to be anticipated. This paper focuses on the modeling of 6 Inland Navigation reaches. An Inland Navigation network is a large scale distributed system composed 7 of several interconnected reaches. These reaches are characterized by non-linearities, time-delays and 8 generally no significant slope. To deal with these particularities, a gray-box model is proposed. It 9 consists in determining the delays according to physical characteristics of the systems. The parameters 10 of the model are identified with measured data. The gray-box model is used to reproduce the dynamics 11 of the Cuinchy-Fontinettes reach located in the north of France. 12
