Simulation Study to Assess the Effect of Ship Beam on the Navigable Flow Conditions in Paris

Abstract

: Traversing the river Seine in Paris is challenging for inland vessels due to the density and diversity of local traffic that is encoun tered in a confined environment. The waterway authority, Voies navigables de France (VNF), commissioned a study to assess the relevance of the current regulations when vessels of varying types cross Paris. A first simulation study showed that
