Designing eco-monitoring information system for the Black Sea coastline based on modern digital technologies.

The oil terminals located in the port cities of the Black Sea region of Georgia significantly export oil between Europe and Asia, mainly transporting Azerbaijani and Kazakh oil. Several million tons of cargo is handled annually on the territory of Georgia, both by land and sea. The presented article discusses the results of the project, which are related to the design and development of an information system for environmental monitoring of seaports, oil terminals, and river estuaries in the southeastern region of the Black Sea using the latest digital technologies. Multimodal transportation of oil products (railroad, road, sea, and pipelines), which connects Europe with Eastern countries through Georgia, is often accompanied by the generation of hazardous waste, which consequently causes changes in the chemical and biological elements of the Black Sea coastline. The latter has a negative effect on human health and ecology as a whole. Periodic information about the condition of the Black Sea coast is obtained from stationary and non-stationary devices. The mentioned information is provided in real-time to the data processing centers and relevant servers, which enables the implementation of analytical works, preventive measures and active liquidation works. The novelty is the designed Black Sea ecomonitoring information system, the configuration of which is built by the integration of the Internet of Things and data science directions, using the latest resources of multimodal transportation of oil products and cloud technologies. As a result, a web portal is obtained, where machine learning is presented in the form of web services. A mobile application has been designed for manual data entry, through which data can be entered into the database. The presented information monitoring system provides real-time detection of deviation from the limit norm related to the quantitative indicators of the chemical and biological elements of the Black Sea coastline. The system also ensures the determination of the direction and coverage area of the spilled oil, information about which is provided in real time to the relevant services, which helps to take various measures and mitigate the processes of environmental damage. Thus, the presented monitoring system is a decision-making support information system created for operational response. Tab. 1, Fig. 1, Ref. 17.
