Fairway - Bank sections

The starting point for creating these maps is to determine the axis of the waterway. This axis line has been accurately plotted on the basis of a calculation in ArcGis. Use has been made of the shore lines as recorded in the current area GIS file. Given the irregular structure of the banks, this resulted in a rather angular center line. That is why this center line has been adjusted partly by generalization and partly by hand. Based on this axis line, the minimum fairway widths have been plotted, as they apply to that specific route. This is calculated by setting out half the required width to both sides from the center line (buffering). Where this width exceeds the banks, infrastructural bottlenecks may arise. Where the waterway is wider than the minimum requirement, possible policy scope arises. This is the scope to further determine which function will be assigned to it during elaboration. Different requirements apply to works of art, so other widths have also been set out for this. To complete the whole, the maps have been supplemented with topography, mileage and nautical functions such as mooring posts, multi-seats, etc. Waiting and berth functions have been manually drawn on the basis of the ship's dimensions. A map layer has been created for each function. The functions have been inventoried, recorded on management cards and recorded manually in Auto-Cad. The obtained files were converted to ArcGIS.
