Information Exchange Automation in Maritime Transport

Abstract

To ensure the safety of maritime transport the access to information must be provided through a commonly used services. However, an equally important task is to determine or agree on interpretation of incoming data and assessment of a current and predicted navigational situation and, in further step, intentions of the participants in the transport process. Thanks to the standardization of information format, automatic information exchange gets increasingly wider. Another step ahead is automatic interpretation of information and automation of negotiation processes-intelligent communication. Rapid development of IT and ICT technologies creates such opportunities. This article presents the results of research on a system of automatic communication and cooperation in maritime transport. http://www.transnav.eu the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation Volume 8 Number 2

Decision Support in Collision Situations at Sea

“…For a few years research has been continued on methods and algorithms for decision support in marine navigation. They refer to various time spans and stages of decision support process (Pietrzykowski et al, 2014a; Stawicki, 2008; Szłapczyńska, 2013; Wang and Chin, 2016). Both classical and artificial intelligence methods are proposed.…”
