Autonomous Situation Awareness for Navigation

Project Details

Description

The purpose of this project is to develop techniques to let a computer obtain reliable situation awareness for a vessel at sea. Based on state of art sensor technology, algorithms will interpret information about surroundings and predict behaviours of other vessels. When information confirms deviations from anticipated normal behaviours, algorithms shall predict imminent risks and provide decision support for safe manoeuvring. One aim is that results of risk assessment and risk avoidance can be presented as advice to a human navigator. Another aim is that this information can be presented to an autonomous manoeuvring system that can respond with a plan for immediate manoeuvring to avoid risk of collision or grounding. The project aims to demonstrate the technology at a proof of concept level, first against simulated scenarios at SIMAC, then using live data from one or more vessels in Danish waters.
