Host institution: CUT (SE)
Project title/WP: Data content, sharing and exploitation: defining common ground and actor network for collaborative decision making in autonomous inland waterways (WP3)
Supervisory board: Prof. S. MacKinnon (CUT, SE), Prof. Q. Liu (UHAM, DE), M. Wahlström (VTT, FI)
Objectives:

• Improve collaborative decision-making platforms and information management strategies
• Define, develop and integrate critical AI and automation tactics using actor network and Human-Centered Design (HCD) approaches to support operation logistics (data propagation, updating, validation and coordination)

• Develop guidelines for information/data standardization, classification and structure to support improved system situation awareness and collaborative decision-making

Planned secondment(s):

• LIH (DE): Identify industry-based subject matter experts to define inland waterway stakeholders; actor competencies and capacities (M12-14, secondment mentor: T. Brauner) (joint secondment with ESR12)
• VTT (FI): Data analysis and interpretation (M20-22, secondment mentor: M. Wahlström)
