The digital ocean initiative ensuring interoperability between water and land based transportation systems is a high priority for Canada’s marine industry. This can be accomplished by expanding the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) reference architecture, which is land-based, to include the maritime sector. Transport is a multimodal process and overall transport efficiency can be improved by better supply chain logistics, using automation to improve access to transport information. In the road sector, the Canadian Intelligent Transport Systems Reference Architecture (ITS-RA) provides a framework that has been used for developing interoperable software solutions across Canada. However, to support the digital transformation of supply chain logistics for intelligent shipping, the maritime domain needs to be better represented in the Canadian ITS-RA and therefore a maritime extension is required. This project aims to establish a statement of requirements for this extension and further support Maritime ITS interoperability.
