“…All these measurements have been carried out when the ships were moored at port. To date of study [16], no experiments have been carried out during ship operation. To complete hitherto existing state of the art, Kdouh et al authors studied the possibility of replacing a wired shipboard monitoring system by a WSN technology [16].…”

This paper is dedicated to some aspects of maritime on-board safety improvement. The contribution of this article is a proposal to extend wireless communication on the ship, supported by examples of solutions that have not previously been used on board. Analyzed aspects concern the measurement and control signal transmission in hostile marine environment. A problem to solve is formulated, how to reduce a negative impact of this environment on effectiveness and reliability of maritime on board communication. The proposed ways for solving a problem under consideration cover recommendations concerning some aspects of ship construction and implementation of wireless sensor network. The main topic faced by the paper is concentrated on case study-based ZigBee as well as WiFi networks implementation in the area of the acquisition of data from sensors and measuring transducers connected to the terminal network. The exemplary implementation of ZigBee network, elaborated in Gdynia Maritime University is related, firstly, to the configuration of a simple wireless measurement and control channel, and secondly, to wireless communication channel supported by autonomously working microprocessor measurement and control system. WiFi networks were also tested in the same area of application. Finally, some concluding remarks are formulated.

“…For the maximisation of sensor node battery life, star topology is better suited. Mesh WSN topology has been successfully tested on a ferry, with signal reliability greater than 97% [32]. Hybrid mesh-star architecture has been researched into [34], with good results from the aspects of redundancy and WSN reconfiguration in case of a sensor node fault.…”

A B S T R A C TSeagoing vessels are highly complex systems. Major requirements of marine vessels are continuous running time and high production output. As such, these systems require high availability and reliability, and are dependent on preventive maintenance procedures. Development of diverse range of sensors, combined with overall reduction in price, enabled implementation of condition based maintenance in such systems. Large increases in fuel cost, environmental restrictions and further crew reduction are current trend in maritime industry. Considering marine sector emphasis on the reduction of fuel consumption, environmental restrictions, and reduction of crew size, implementation of condition based maintenance is favourable, especially with regard to lost man-hours. However, high initial cost of installation on moving vessels, necessary crew training and additional sensor maintenance inhibits implementation of condition based maintenance. Replacing wired monitoring system with wireless ship-board sensor network would mitigate the above mentioned problems. However, current research of wireless sensor networks is based on terrestrial installation. This paper analyses the application of wireless sensor network technology on board seagoing vessels. Practical engineering solutions, including sensor types, configurations and wireless network topologies have been identified and reviewed.

“…Ships can be equipped with wireless sensor networks. Kdouh et al [5] propose a wireless sensor network on a boat for tracking objects continuously. The network collectively reports the position of various objects in the ship, in terms of Cartesian coordinates to a sink node or to a central base station.…”

BackgroundObject tracking is one of the most practical applications of WSN. Wireless network is itself vulnerable and when combined with sensors the other errors that add upon to it are sensor failures, localization errors, prediction, and detection errors. Robust and effective solutions that could recover the information of tracking object are required for making wireless sensor networks more acceptable. Efficient energy management and enhanced network lifetime are other desired design aspects of a wireless sensor network application. Rout and Ghosh [1] tackle the problem of the area around the sink node that is a bottleneck zone as more activity is reported there, causing improper load balance that affects the overall network lifetime. They attempted to solve this problem by proposing a duty cycled wireless sensor network. The sensor nodes in the bottleneck zone are divided into two groups in their approach: simple relay sensors and network coder sensors. While the relay nodes simply forward the received data, the network coder nodes transmit using a network coding based algorithm. Energy efficiency of the bottleneck zone hence increases as more volume of data will be transmitted to the Sink with the same number of transmissions. Park and Shi [2] suggest strategies of deploying additional sensors in the bottleneck zone in due course of time to maintain a desired level of network connectivity. The major concerns of WSNs are studied by Mohsin [3] who also Abstract It is a challenging task for all Harbors or Naval Administration to restrict and monitor the movement of defense or commercial ships. Most commonly used techniques of monitoring are radars and satellite images. These techniques are not reliable as radars can be turned off voluntarily and receptions of images are affected by adverse climatic conditions. This paper proposes a reliable ship intruder detection algorithm that classifies different types of objects approaching the model system in and out of phase with the ocean waves. The proposed technique also takes care of superimposition of temporal and spatial values of nodes that are presumably deployed in the sea surface up to a certain distance. Simulation results prove that the proposed algorithm detects and classifies objects efficiently even when 50% of the nodes reporting the tracking phenomenon are tampered. Rao and Kamila Hum. Cent. Comput. Inf. Sci. (2017) Comput. Inf. Sci. (2017) 7:14 survey the performance tradeoffs in terms of energy, tracking error and other performance metrics of the available sensors in established network architectures. Tracking and monitoring techniques need to be designed by taking account of these parameters. A simple and efficient tracking system based on Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF (ORB) is presented by Wu et al. [4]. It is a fast binary descriptor where good matched points are obtained by computing Hamming distance. Based on the matched points and temporal-spatial constraint, location of the object in new frame is obtained. Tracking applications of wire...
