A new course for the Panama Canal
Article Abstract:
A prototype Global Poistioning System called Communications, Traffic Management, and Navigations (CTAN) system is providing safer and more efficient operations of the Panama Canal. The system is being implemented by an engineering team assigned to the Department of Transportation's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, MA. CTAN helps overcome the Canal's navigation difficulties, which are closely linked to its fractured geology.
