Reference guide
This is the reference guide to the various parts of PROTIDE. Please take a look at the current content and feel free to add comments.PROTIDE is developed with the intention of implementing a state-of-the-art tidal window calculation routine.
To calculate a tidal window a probabilistic methodology is used that simulates a set of possible conditions to determine exact times and locations that the probability of touching the bottom is below the safety criterion. Then a route is found through these "safe" moments to determine the tidal window advice.
PROTIDE uses all kinds of data to calculate tidal window advices. This section describes the different data necessities and possibilities.
PROTIDE has information on the Euro-Maasgeul and the IJgeul. This is modeled as channels, channel positions, segments, destinations and channel bottom elevations.
The components PROTIDE uses to calculate a tidal window advice.
The Protide application is hosted on two dedicated servers, each placed in a different datacenter of supplier Intermax Managed Hosting. The servers are configured in a geographical failover setup, to optimize availability.
