Project description
COMEX² is based on the project RIS COMEX (2016-2022) having realised the joint European River Information Services Platform EuRIS which provides fairway-, infrastructure-, traffic-, and transport related data from 13 European countries as single point of access for all kinds of Inland Waterway Transport related users. COMEX² shall continue, expand and optimise the provided services and data on functional, technical and geographical scope for the benefit of the stakeholders. Focus is also put on making the organisational, legal and financial framework for sustainable operation of EuRIS more flexible and future fit to enable onboarding of additional partners and to ease administrative aspects.

The main objectives of COMEX²:
- Assessment of EuRIS, electronic reporting in Europe and other relevant European initiatives (e.g. DIWA, eFTI) to identify needs and requirements to be considered in COMEX²
- Evolution of the EuRIS Platform in terms of functional and technical optimisation of services, data and interfaces, geographical extension to more waterways and countries as well as ensuring continuous sustainable operation
- Optimisation, interconnection and integration of existing reporting systems to reduce the administrative reporting burden within IWT enabling the reporting only once principle in Europe
- Investigation and realisation of common services (e.g. geographical reference data, mobile solution, NtS creator)
- Enhancements of national RIS systems and services to act as sustainable and resilient data source
- Support of and contribution to the evolution of the standardisation of RIS technical services under the framework of CESNI/TI
