Title:
Enabling MASS situational awareness through autonomous monitoring of the St-Lawrence Seaway using trusted crowdsourced bathymetry of the St-Lawrence Seaway Using Trusted Crowdsourced Bathymetry
Agreement Number:
980445
Agreement Value:
$162,140.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 1, 2021 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
CIDCO will leverage the concept of crowdsourcing bathymetric data collection through opportunity commercial vessells by fitting large ships with bathymetric dataloggers, and installing data transfer stations at strategic locations. This will allow raw data to be automatically harvested from the ships and sent to a data processing cloud backend that will transform the raw crowdsourced bathymetric (CSB) data into quality products suitable for active monitoring of the St-Lawrence Seaway and possible integration into the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) data products and services while respecting the required quality assurance and control standards provided by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO).
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
