VTMS

Vessel Traffic Management System

Rolta Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) makes valuable contribution to safer
navigation, efficient traffic flow, and protection of the environment in confined and busy
waterways by active monitoring, provision of information services, traffic organization and
navigational assistance to vessels. VTMS facilitates quick and efficient handling of
Incidents and emergency situations. Additionally, data from incidents and traffic
movements can be stored and used as reference information for port administration, port
authorities, coastguards and search and rescue services.

troublesome incidents or for
investigations.
Rolta VTMS monitors, records, analyses,
alerts operator with appropriate info
and updates the port MIS online for all
vessels entering and leaving harbor. Use
of multiple layers of day and night
sensors with reassuring levels of
redundancy makes it a fail-safe system.
Rolta VTMS is an information system as
well a security surveillance, wherein any
unidentified vessel automatically becomes a
suspect element from security aspect. Once,
envisaged registration and identification of
fishing vessels and other recreational crafts
operating in the port premises are in place, they
can also be embedded into the Rolta VTMS
system to aid security surveillance.
The VHF Radio and Direction Finding (RDF)
component of VTMS can be expanded for aiding
security application as well. Thus, while Rolta
VTMS is an inescapable system for any busy port
for traffic management, it is also a dependable
application for port security as it could give
intelligence inputs to the security agencies for
forming a Coherent Intelligence Picture.
Functionalities

Acquisition of targets and continuous tracking of vessels in the surveillance area

Communicates with variety of sensors to perceive the threat information

Detection of anomaly behavior, supervision and control of incoming and outgoing vessel
traffic

Monitoring vessel movement and the co-ordination of traffic movement.

Co-ordination of Search and Rescue activities.

Provision of information to vessels to safely and expeditiously enable navigation.

Archiving of vessels information for statistical analysis and reporting

Provide investigation analysis tool to replay the vessels activities to analyze the incident
in detail

Enables monitoring of the health condition of Sensor and systems

View the Situation of Security across the port boundary

Components
Rolta VTMS can be seamlessly integrated with:-

Radar System

Day and night vision tracking systems

Automatic Identification Systems (AIS),

Communication and Direction Finding (DF) Systems

Electronic Navigation Charts (ENC)

Sonar System

Meteorological & Hydrological sensors

Current and forecasted weather adaptation

Marine VHF communication system

 Sensor Site
Often for larger ports, multiple radar/sensor and control stations are deployed for
efficient and accurate geographical coverage. Rolta VTMS can be linked to port
Management Information database System (MIS) for aiding online planning and
coordination of vessels actual arrival and departure with port resources.
The location of the sensors, like Radars, CCTV cameras etc. are selected carefully in
order to obtain maximum performance of the system.
The equipment on the sensor site consists of parts installed outdoors, like radar
head, CCTV cameras, VHF antennas etc. and processing equipments are installed
indoors in the equipment rack. The communication between sensor site and the
control center is based on standard TCP/IP network which can be established using
direct LAN connection, using MW links, ADSL lines etc.

The Rolta maritime solution portfolio is based on Land, Underwater, Coastal,

Surface, Airborne and Space capabilities for optimum coverage, fast situation
analysis and efficient response. Module selection is based on customer
operational requirements to offer the most competitive solutions. Notable
highlights of solution offered are SOA architecture and standards combined with
innovative technologies such as Selective Information Dissemination, Web
Technologies, to integrate existing customer legacies and ensure interoperability
with external systems and databases. We can provide 3D maps for the entire port
area along with Rolta GeoCAD for land based operations.
Rolta Command & Control

Rolta Command & Control is industry proven leading edge technology designed to address the Safety and Security requirements of
both Land and Maritime environment. It empowers navy, coast guards, port authorities, critical infrastructure securing agencies, to
achieve affordable, truly collaborative situation awareness and manage the security threats. This web-based technology feeds
sharply focused relevant information along with actionable recommendations to the intelligence analyst/security experts. Advanced
anomaly detection techniques applied to information, automatically generate tailored alerts to right users at right time, thus
enabling them handle threats efficiently.
