BIVAS is an abbreviation for “Binnenvaart analyse systeem” (translated from Dutch: inland shipping analysis system) and is developed to do network analysis for the Dutch inland shipping network. It is designed to support research to answer policy questions about:
- shipping network analysis: what is the usage of each water way?
- the effect of planned maintenance or blocked water ways
- the calculation of future development scenarios
