ABSTRACT
The Navigation Data Center (NDC) provides information on locks through the Lock Performance Monitoring System (LPMS), which is a web-based system used to collect and report data on vessels that traverse through Corps-owned or operated locks in near real-time. The primary purpose of the LPMS is to capture data relating to operations of locks, which acts as a planning tool for vessel operators and aids them in tracking progress of goods shipped on U.S. waterways. The Navigation Data Center (NDC) produces and stores data on lock characteristics nationwide in the Lock Performance Monitoring System (LPMS) and the Lock Characteristics database. These data sets are developed using input from surveys conducted by NDC staff. Information collected includes the physical aspects of all USACE built, maintained, owned, or operated locks. The data set captures six major characteristics including location, physical characteristics, site information, site characteristics, management information, and historical changes.
