 RISING, a project co-financed by the European Commission (DG TREN) within the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, has the overall objective of identifying, integrating and further developing information services such as River Information Services (RIS) in order to efficiently support inland waterway transport and logistics operations. Between February 2009 and January 2012, for 36 months, the RISING project will investigate how traffic information for logistics purposes can lead to useful solutions and services providing benefits for intermodal transport chains involving inland waterway transport.
