The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) has used CARIS tools for bathymetric data management and analysis for more than 10 years. The inclusion of the Engineering Analysis Module (EAM) into the CARIS Bathy DataBASE (BDB) suite together with the professional Oracle based data management and the OGC webservice compliance through CARIS Spatial Fusion Enterprise opens new possibilities for the Hydrographic Survey Department and its customers, as a result of which HPA has now moved to this package. The CARIS Bathy DataBASE forms the backbone of the bathymetric analysis performed at the HPA and is the platform for several product creation and decision making processes. Using cleaned multibeam, multichannel and mobile laserscan data and different kinds of harbour maps like ENCs, AutoCAD files or 3D channel models, created within BDB, the Hydrographic Survey Department creates bathymetric models, bathymetric ENCs, all bathymetric objects for paper charts, difference models, profiles and volume computations for the Dredging Department, the Nautical Centre, the pilots, asset managers and other customers (see figure 1). Additionally customers like the Hydrology Department can either directly access the Bathy DataBASE with the CARIS BASE Manager or can integrate OGC Web Services provided from the CARIS Spatial Fusion Enterprise into their own applications in order to carry out tailored analysis like sediment prediction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
